Clothing, macaron stores opening in Fashion Island

Fashion Island has announced the arrival of two retailers set to open in late spring, according to a news release.

Los Angeles-based clothing retailer M. Fredric and Beverly Hills-based macarons shop ‘Lette — both new to Orange County — will open in the Newport Beach shopping center.

M. Fredric, which offers casual apparel for men, women and children, will open in a 4,400-square-foot space by the Iris Fountain.

The French-style macaron store, ‘Lette, will open in a space near Nordstrom. It will feature the brand’s 14 flavors of the double-sided almond meringue cookies filled with white chocolate ganache, which are made daily.

Flavors include Caribbean chocolate, raspberry, earl grey, salted caramel, passion fruit and sweet wedding almond.
