Welcome to The Phoenix Shop website. If you visit our live weather cam  you'll see our amazing view of Big Sur's South Coast. You'll understand why The Phoenix Shop is an important destination in Big Sur. The Phoenix Shop is a unique gift shop featuring exceptional merchandise  from around the world as well as from local artisans. The merchandise showing on our site, is a representation of what you can usually find when you visit our special store. We do not have a catalog, because of our ever-changing, unique inventory. Some items are one-of-a-kind, others are of limited production. Please do inquire if you wish to purchase what you see on our website. If something is out of stock, we can try to special order it. Lolly Fassett, the founding owner of  The Phoenix Shop, wanted this shop to represent the creativity of people from around the world, as well as local artisans. She felt that when people come here to this beautiful spot, their minds and hearts open wide by the stunning natural environment. Visitors would be open to new ideas and delighted to own things from all cultures. In the early days, traders used to flock to Nepenthe, spreading their wares on Lolly's living room floor. From Navajo pawn jewelry to Afghani rugs . . . later, after the restaurant was built, Lolly and Bill Fassett decided to build the shop to showcase these treasures. The gift shop takes its name from Nepenthe's standard, the mythical phoenix bird said to rise every 500 years from its ashes more resplendent than ever. There are so many talented, wonderful people that work here, "all the different ingredients make the pie." Please enjoy and make sure to come up, or down, our lovely coast. Big Sur is a spectacular and beautiful place to visit.   The Phoenix Shop is open seven days a week, 365 days a year.
