歴史的なキーウェストのウォーターフロントを見渡すスタジオです。

Jack Anderson, originally from Tacoma, Washington, and Liliane arrived in Key West in 1986, having recently completed an adventure on the family home – a 42 foot sailboat.
Four years prior, they had sold their thriving leather crafts business in the French Alps, said goodbye to friends and family, and boarded their steel hulled ketch, Nividic, with their 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son in tow. Setting sail for the Canary Islands, and then crossing the Atlantic, the family spent the next four and half years sailing in the Caribbean, eventually arriving, with $23 left, at Land’s End Marina, behind the Half Shell Raw Bar at the Key West Bight Marina.
Always the sailor and leather craftsman, Jack started making leather jewelry and selling at the nightly sunset celebration on Mallory Square. Soon, Local Color opened next door to the historic Turtle Kraals, at the original location of Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville store. As the businesses grew, Jack and Liliane, with children still in tow, would travel the world, buying jewelry, clothing, and accessories in far flung locales – Bali, Mexico City, the highlands of Guatemala, Ibiza, Vilnius, Paris, India, the Dominican Republic...
Always evolving, the Andersons designed their own clothing lines for the tropics and Key West jewelry collections. Today, you can see all of these influences when you shop at Local Color and Commotion, and there’s always something new! And it is still very much a family affair.
The Andersons also opened up AMIGOS Tortilla Bar, Key West's favorite Mexican restaurant, located catty-corner from Sloppy Joes Bar, and are currently opening a second location in St Pete, FL.

About the Red Doors
The original building was constructed in late 1868 as a real estate speculation by the Pinder and Curry Families of Key West. At first leased as a cigar factory to Cubans fleeing political turbulence in Havana . “The Doors” has been intimately connected with the Key West Waterfront for over a century. By 1906, with the shift of the cigar industry to Tampa, the Doors had become a ships chandlery. During the depression it was a grocery and hardware store serving both the neighborhood and commercial fishermen.
When shrimping became of real economic importance to Key West in the early 1950’s, the Doors under a succession of colorful owners and names, one of the toughest bars on the Gulf Coast. It was always a shrimpers bar ans was known successively as the Conch Gardens, The Wagon Wheel Inn, and the Red Doors Inn. It was known informally as the Bucket of Blood. Here occurred many beatings, stabbings, assaults of various and colorfully imaginative sorts and, rumour has it, a number of quiet murders. With the gradual decline of the shrimp industry due to the depletion of the fishing grounds, inadequate conservation measures and growing foreign competition, the Bar itself became economically unviable and was closed in July 1972.
Architecturally, the original building was of typical Conch design, with commercial space open to the street on the ground floor and living quarters for the owners on the second floor. The building is only partially restored and still is burdened by the additions to the left side and rear put on during WWII to increase rentable space. The basic building is shaped with space for a garden in the rear. Architecturally or historically the Red Doors in one of Key West Waterfront’s most picturesque landmarks.
