Store update, Thursday 6/26:

Sorry for the delay between updates, but we have been tireless working to figure out a strategy moving forward, while we await assessment over the storm damage that our building suffered over the weekend.

As of now, the store is still temporarily closed, and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. >>> This unfortunately means 𝐧𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤-𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 at this time.

If you need to reach us with inquiries regarding shopping—please call us, or direct message us.

The good news, is that we are still able to meet with our clients for alteration appointments and pick ups of merchandise, at a temporary location! We will continue to reach out to everyone regarding their upcoming appointments.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and flexibility during this unforeseen circumstance. It has been an exhausting weekend/week, but we are blessed with INCREDIBLE clients and we can’t say ‘thank you’ enough. ❤️
