Lucy Moran is co-owner of Lex & Cleo, in the Saratoga Marketplace, downtown Saratoga Springs, which offers clothing, blankets and toys made in super-soft materials for babies\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lex & Cleo is a new store in the Saratoga
\nMarketplace, 454 Broadway, Saratoga
\nSprings, dedicated to gifts for babies and
\nyoung children.<\/p>\n

The new boutique, opened by Elizabeth
\nStraus and her daughter, Lucy Moran, both
\nof Saratoga Springs, offers clothing, blankets
\nand toys made in super-soft, natural
\nmaterials. There are books for parents and
\nchildren, and a wide range of heirloom-quality
\ngifts.<\/p>\n

The store is named for the children of
\nStraus’ son, Saratoga Springs native Alexander
\nStraus, who now lives in California
\nwith his wife, Hillary, and children Lex
\nand Cleo.
\nThe owners said they felt choices within
\nwalking distance to the downtown for finding
\nappropriate baby gifts was “frustratingly
\nlimited” and decided to open a store to
\nmake the search simpler, more convenient
\nand much more fun.<\/p>\n

The store opened its doors in October.
\nStraus said the focus is “on beautifully crafted products created by artisans locally
\nand from around the world.”
\nStraus is also owner, for the past seven
\nyears, of gift boutique Pangea, across the
\nhall from Lex & Cleo, in Saratoga Marketplace.<\/p>\n

Her history as a merchant on Broadway
\nincludes owning long-time downtown
\nstore Mabou, with her husband, Mark, from
\n1971 until 2005.<\/p>\n

Moran has owned Lucia, a specialty
\nclothing and jewelry shop, also in the
\nMarketplace, for the last eight years. The
\nMarketplace’s family affair further extends
\nto the building’s lower level, where Moran’s
\nhusband, Rory, owns and operates a caf\u00e9,
\nComfort Kitchen.<\/p>\n

“Lex & Cleo is proud to join the locally
\nowned and globally minded group
\nof 12 stores and services operating in the
\nSaratoga Marketplace,” said Moran.<\/p>\n

The store is open Monday through Sunday,
\n11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and closed Tuesdays.
\nIts website is www.lexandcleo.com and
\nits phone number is 587-0809.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
