Instantly gratifying East Village-style clothing boutique.. See Through It All
It's obvious that owner Thomas Ganley has spent a lot of time in Manhattan's funkier upscale fashion shops. There are labels and cuts here that can't be found anywhere else in Northeast Ohio: Free People, ILLIG, Co-operative, Krush, French Concept and a fair balance between men's and women's clothing. The charcoal grey wrap-around dimension skirt by Fork is a must-have.

Cutting-Edge Isn't Cheap
Boutiques sell things at boutique prices. You'll pay $120 for a pair of pants, but they will be excellent pants--raw silk in dusted gold with a flattering cut. T-Shirts run in the $30 range, and they do have Bulldog's "Thank you Thank you Thank you" tank. The turnover rate for the clothing and new-item availability doesn't come as quickly as frequent customers would like, but with two available storefronts across the street and Ex-Ray as the founding stone, the area has the potiential to create a fashion pocket and really move cutting-edge looks.
