Lana Barakat (a.k.a Chief Thief) again proves good things come in small batches. Like sister shop December Thieves, Barakat’s new Beacon Hill boutique Heist offers a curated collection of goods from emerging makers and designers. While December Thieves focuses on décor and small gifts with a playful vibe, Heist concentrates on fashion with a raw yet ethereal feel. Brands include UCF, a minimalist Japanese apparel line, drapey pieces by Nuit from Toronto, and riveted handmade bags by TEO + NG out of Paris. Also expect artist workshops in which customers can get their hands dirty. Heist by December Thieves, 51 Charles St., Boston, 857-239-9149
