It’s Nadine Buch’s eye for style that's the guiding vision for Tiger’s Eye, a shop known for its distinctive clothing, wearable art and unique accessories. And how appropriate that the downtown Lititz shop is named for Nadine’s favorite stone—tiger's eye—a golden brown gemstone, each stone possessing one-of-a-kind colors and patterns.
“People like knowing that by shopping here, they won’t see anyone else wearing the same thing,” explains Buch. “We often buy products with our customers in mind. Everyone receives personalized attention—we are like personal shoppers.”
Tiger’s Eye is a perfect marriage of skills and talents by husband and wife owners Nadine Buch and Gaylord Poling. With a 33-year career in corporate management, Poling brings his business sense to the table. Buch, who honed her fashion sense for 30 years as a buyer for a large regional department store, provides the creative drive behind Tiger’s Eye. “My experience is in accessories—that’s my forte,” she says. The entire talented and professional Tiger’s Eye staff works right alongside Nadine and Gaylord and truly make each guest’s experience personal and memorable.
“Most of what we offer is unique to the area,” according to Poling. “We carry many European lines…and also items from Australia, Canada and Peru.” One of Buch’s latest finds includes handmade, lightweight and colorful jewelry constructed with rubber by Dutch designer Annemieke Broenink. The shop also features Banana Blue, OSKA, Eileen Fisher, Ed Levin and more.
Tiger’s Eye, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2016, is part of Lititz, Lancaster County’s prime “destination shopping” district. Regular customers hail from Lancaster, York, Reading—even Allentown and Pittsburgh.
Every season, Buch’s research includes creating color charts for the boutique shop so that the clothing and accessories complement each other. It’s a process that she has turned into a lifelong passion: “We design complete outfits from head to toe,” Buch explains. “The accessories are simply the icing on the cake.”
