New Neighbors: Timothy Oulton brings Leather Furniture to Main Street

Timothy Oulton, a British leather furniture company, will be bringing their internationally-known home furnishings to Westport as they’ve announced their opening on Main Street. Timothy Oulton has six other locations in the United States - with two in Manhattan, and standalone stores in Southern Florida, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Internationally they have stores in Europe, Africa, and Asia - all focusing on high quality leather goods and home decorations. The company most recently opened a space in the Lillian August storefront in Norwalk in 2019, however was forced to close with the Lillian August showroom’s closure in Spring 2021.

The Westport location for the British brand will mark the first tenant in the newly renovated storefronts that once housed notable local hangouts and shops as Main Street in Westport continues to charge into the future.

Westport First Selectwoman Gives her First Thanksgiving Address

Westport First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving as well as a Happy Hanukkah for those celebrating.

Westport has much to be thankful for. As we emerge from a global pandemic, we are grateful for our first responders, our town employees and staff, our teachers, colleagues and friends, and the numerous volunteers who gave unselfishly of their time, talents and resources. Most importantly, we are grateful for each other, and how we came together as a community to lift up, to help and to inspire during challenging times. Westporters are truly resilient! 

We are also keenly aware that there are those among us who need additional care and concern, especially during holidays. Theodore Roosevelt said, “Let us remember that, as much has been given, much will be expected…and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips and shows itself in deeds.”

And so, at this Thanksgiving and for the days to come, I ask that we both reflect and act; to give of ourselves in word and deed; to express our appreciation for all that we do have, and to make simple acts of kindness the norm, not the trend. 

On a personal note, my sincerest hope is that you enjoy your Thanksgiving and upcoming Holidays with friends and families, and that you have the opportunity to be thankful for the simple blessings we all share. 

Thank you.
