The cashier didn't greet me or offer a basket, but you can request one if you need it. They basically let you do your own thing. Overall, I found the prices for the products to be reasonable. This shop is located right in the middle of China town! I would recommend finding a 'pay for parking' lot near the fire station for a few hours then walk over as you grab lunch and shop at other stores!

The shop also carries typical chic hipster-esc items like fun patterned reusable bags, a bunch of unique and cute greeting cards, candles, and they even have books wrapped for a blind date with a book! I am very glad I stopped by here on my trip to Philly and I'd recommend it as a fun shop for anyone artsy or visiting the city!

The back of the store is lined with mirrors, including a fun house type mirror and the dressing area is a lovely couch with curtains to pull shut for privacy.

Unfortunately coolness comes at a price...a very high one at that! I fell in love with a victorian-esque black floor length layered ruffle skirt that cost $347! However, they are definitely quality items! Sid was a fantastic help in helping find items that would both fit and flatter my friends and I. It was great.

So as the name would suggest, if you're looking for a special, unique gift for someone, this place is where you should come. If it's a baby you're buying for, the handmade clothes and accessories are stunning. No one else will have those at the baby shower! Local crafters exhibit things like wreaths, crocheted and knit goods, candles, decor, etc here for sale. Also, if you have an idea or maybe saw something on Pinterest you want replicated, talk to these ladies and they will make it happen. The store also has lots of beautiful things imported from Ireland. Having just been to Ireland, I can say all the brand names and quality are the same as what you'd get in Ireland, without that pesky transatlantic flight. Philly flair, local high school memorabilia, a wee bit of Irish merch, holiday decor, unique gifts, and pretty much anything you can think of is here my friends. Check it out and support a fine local business!
