Say the word nonpareil, and a lot of folk will think of those sugar-coated chocolate drops sold in candy shops. But the larger meaning of the word is unique, fine, and without equal. So it’s an apt moniker for Michelle Moenssen’s Nonpareil Shirt Company, a new Ashley Street boutique showcasing her colorful hand-dyed jackets, scarves, and tops made from elegant materials like silk chiffon or merino wool. She calls her one-of-a-kind creations “wearable art.”
