Business Spotlight — The Enchantress: Beauty and fit in comfortable, larger sizes at Pacific Beach/San Diego boutique
You might say it’s all in the family. Michelle Klein, who manages The Enchantress boutique in Pacific Beach, is the daughter of Jerry Klein, owner of A Better Deal Tuxedo in Bird Rock. Her dad, Michelle says, is “an amazing businessman. He’s given me the work ethic I have. He’s taught me all of his little tricks of the trade.” But Michelle Klein’s trade is not in formal wear but in lingerie and swimwear. The 13-year-old store, originally located in Mission Valley and then in Old Town before relocating a little more than a year ago near the Catamaran Hotel in P.B., specializes in fitting full-figured women who aren’t able to find what they’re looking for in intimate or beach attire at the mall.
