Prices are comparable to other souvenirs but better quality. The shop is small with the merch displayed nicely. The staff person was friendly and knowledgeable about the products. She had the stamps for the art vending machine scavenger hunt/passport book. I believe change for the art vending machine outside the store is also available. The shop is tucked in the back of the visitors center.

This time we decided with the 250th anniversary coming up we wanted to do some more touristy things related to the founding of our country. This little pop up was located in the visitor's center of Independence Hall. Went in looking for a christmas ornament to remind us of our visit. It did not disappoint and had so many cute items. Left with a nice ornament for our tree. while it was a bit on the pricey side. Liked the fact it was handmade.

Handmade is a well-crafted collection of handmade items that are full of personality and life. From greeting cards that actually say what you think (like "Congrats on your breakup! You really dodged a bullet there"), colorful prints, to Reality Bites light switch covers, I wanted to buy at least half the store. The owner (Elissa?) was warm, friendly and has a clear passion for what she does. This is a must-stop shop! Support local business and stop by today - you'll be glad you did!

A Philadelphia-based boutique in the Fishtown neighborhood. Happened upon this clothing shop as I…read morewas walking by and had to drop in to see what unique pieces they had. The curated selection here are made from independent and local designers. I don't like to shop at department stores and always prefer small shops like these. You never know what cool a$$ one-of-a-kind pieces you might find. Kelly greeted me warmly and asked me multiple times if I needed help. Even when I was in the dressing room she called out to me to ask if everything I got was fitting well. Here is my fashion advice...always try on the pieces, even the one you are hesitating on. One of the tops I was questioning turned out to be the one I loved the most. When I told Kelly that I am always on the hunt for sheer tops, she showed me a few other pieces on the rack. She even showed me one of the tops she was wearing on her iPhone to give me a visual. Lol. I found the top I wanted for an upcoming concert...Cannons. Since leaving the store I am feeling regretful that I didn't get the leather belt and bag that I kept eyeing. That bag was sick!! But I will definitely stop by again in the near future. Note: there are also tons of handmade one of a kind jewelry and homemade items like candles, etc.

We were barely in there two minutes when the woman in the store said "Are you here to shop, or to have a meeting?" Odd that three young women can walk into a store and not be welcomed or offered assistance, but rather questioned about why they are talking to each other. My only guess is that the clerk did not want three women of color in her store. I rarely experience this level of racist hostility in Philadelphia, but I encourage you not to support this store. I can't comment on the quality of the clothes because we barely had a chance to come inside and look around.

So, I decided to treat myself to a new skirt and bought the Jetson Modal skirt. It too fits wonderfully, is super comfortable to wear and catches everyone's eye. I highly recommend this store and although the prices are a bit high for me I know I will be enjoying the clothing for a long time. You get what you pay for!

The prices vary and she has a rack of pieces which may be discounted not yet out of season. There was is always something new to try and it's fashionable, on-trend and yet, classic and timeless as well. The owner is wonderful and extremely helpful. She has amazing style and fashion sense. What I love the most is she has a great eye for what looks great on her clients. She's also the first one to bring a body positive approach to the woman who enters the shop. Other clients in the shop seem to bring a very uplifting and empowering experience too. It's an uplifting vibe to be sure. I feel relaxed and comfortable whether it's a quick stop to window shop and always feel great with any purchase I make! If you're near and have a chance, stop by and check it out. It's worth your time!
