Today I went with a simple white cotton sundress, the material is quality and heavy without being bulky. The sales staff is always so nice too. So when you are out and about grabbing drinks or baseball game, tacos or at the hotel next door, stop into Intro Boutique and get yourself a new outfit you will not be disappointed.

Intro Boutique is a chic sister-owned boutique in downtown Cleveland with curated women's casual…read moreattire. You can access this clothing store from East 4th or 5th Street Arcades (it's attached to the building). I only followed Intro Boutique for eternity on Instagram. I finally wandered in with time to spare prior to the nearby Yelp Elite event. I was pleasantly surprised with the collection.  STORE/INVENTORY: Intro Boutique has two locations in downtown Cleveland. One is this one (9 years in operation), and another by the Rock Hall of Fame (3 years in operation). The brand focuses on attire that is comfortable, trendy, and washes well according to the store employee. For the local fashionistas, the store has casual and business casual attire - sweaters, shirts, butter soft leggings (with pockets!), dresses, silky shirts, well made purses, earrings, rings, adorable clutches and wallets. For self-care queens, shelves with body care items are found throughout the store where you can even smell like "total eclipse." For tourists or CLE lovers, there are cute CLE postcards, magnets, clutches, hats, tees, sweaters, 3D printed script signs, and more. It's the perfect destination to purchase the Land merch or souvenirs from your visit from CLE. You can literally buy postcards for as little as $2 and send some old school love to your loved ones. Overall, the prices range from $30 to $70. Most products sold in stores originate from the USA, Indonesia, and Vietnam just based on reading the labels. I noticed that a lot of garments resemble currently trending fashion and fabrics from fast fashion brands - Rainbow, Target, and others.  DEALS: The store is well stocked for fall with garments in seasonal colors (like rusty orange, and reds). They also have a fall mystery bag sale. You can select a mystery bag in your size - 4 clothing items for $40. I originally considered the bag but the store does not carry my size. I normally wear 2X-3X, their sizes are from S-XL. They mentioned that sizes are pretty generous. I did not try anything to confirm or deny due to being short on time.  SERVICE: The store employee (or one of the owners not sure) was very social and friendly. She mentioned that she'd love to have me back in to do a little fashion show as I try some of the items. I loved that idea!  I look forward to returning to the store to shop for accessories. By the end of the night I decided that I need the wallet with dainty edges from the store! I regret that the clothing won't fit me. I would have loved to own a garment from Intro.

Banyan Tree is a well-loved local boutique. They were recently honored as 2025 best women's…read moreclothing store. They also happen to be one of the more long-standing local boutiques in the city. I recently dropped in at their Tremont location after walking around in the midst of winter in Tremont, and developing a need for gloves. AMBIANCE: Banyan Tree currently has an inviting window display with a word "Joy." The storefront has two spacious rooms that feel cozy. Inside you'll find wood accents, and a comfy couch to recline while shopping. Checkout is available in the first room as you walk into the space. INVENTORY: The inventory is predominantly women's fashion. You'll find a unifying theme - comforting fabrics, sparkles, and lots of hand-knit accessories. The best way to describe the vibe is lounge chic. The clothes you'll find here will allow you maximum comfort as you venture out in Tremont and beyond. The clothing looks well made and unique while following the latest trends. The prices are on the higher end starting at about $90 something. Accessories are reasonably priced starting at $20 something. I'm not fully satisfied with the clothing inventory because the sizes go up to L and one size. I wear a plus size so I can only drool while looking at the clothing. I wish that I could also shop here and enhance my wardrobe. In that way, sizing is not inclusive. There are also smaller gifts and accessories at the store - journals, books, purses, statues, and more. Few categories have sales - ornaments and summer clothing. The sale is 40% off. MY PURCHASE: I purchased knit gloves from Banyan Tree. The price was $22. The brand is Figwood, was designed by Banyan Tree in Cleveland. It is a brand exclusive to Banyan Tree. It was sustainably produced in Bali. Imagine someone in Bali knitting gloves and knowing nothing about our winters. I find this very endearing. There are plenty other Figwood items for purchase that are made in Bali and Thailand. The gloves have a simple design but are chunky. They also have top of the glove removal so that you don't have to de-glove every single time. I found other glove designs to be awkward. They were missing top part of the fingertips which seems like the very reason you'd glove. Maybe I'm not on trend. They also have very few gloves in store due to the end of season. Seems like the season is just beginning and winter is ramping up. SERVICE: The service is attentive and personalized. I was offered assistance with glove shopping. The sales associate was really warm and friendly. I enjoyed my experience at the store. Unfortunately, I'll probably seldom stop in because the clothing sizes are not accommodating to me. I'll visit once in a while if I'm ever in need of well made accessories or gifts. Most importantly, the store is a feel good store in terms of supporting consciously made clothing and supporting women across the globe.

For business trip: Purchased a beautiful sweater type long shirt. I'll have to post at a later date, to intricate to explain. As I was preparing for my business trip, I noticed that the rest of my clothes offered no pockets. Trying to hold my phone, wallet in a bulky purse would have been uncomfortable. I remembered that they had a flat purse that can be situated under my business clothes "who's gonna know" . In addition I bought an RFID flat wallet. The bag could also fit my Epi-Pen and meds. All gifts were gift wrapped. For merchandise from around the world, I promise you that will find unique gifts at reasonable prices.

This woman-owned, Latinx owned business makes gorgeous handmade clothing and is owned by Valerie Mayen. Something so refreshing is that Yellowcake Shop is size inclusive and makes high-end, handmade clothing that fits real bodies, not just size zero runway models. We are so lucky to have Valerie and her brilliant talent in Cleveland. She used to have a store in Gordon Square but has since moved her headquarters to 78th Street Studios and offers online shopping. I own everything from coats (her signature, IMO), to rompers, suit jackets and face masks, and even pieces of art of some of her sketches! I've been a long-time Yellowcake client and get so much joy when someone asks me where my jacket is from and I can tell them about Yellowcake. Valerie really understands clothes for a woman's body, loves pockets (my fav), vibrant prints and classic silhouettes. But one of the best things about Valerie is her commitment to giving back. She's so heavily ingrained in the community and is always donating to charities and running different initiatives to support communities in need. She supports this Cleveland community and wants to grow and build here, which I totally respect! You can feel good about your purchases here because you're supporting local in every way. Love!
