Not overwhelming, they do not have a lot of stock just a hand full of the items that they do have which is very nice. They have everything from clothes, jewelry and novelty items. Great place to come for a unique gift for a friend, or just something for yourself. I love that they support local business and carry the BKC clothing line. A local clothing designer. It is a bit of a pricer store, but you will be getting things that are more original that your average cookie cutter mall stuff. I will definitely be back.

It did cost me more than I was planning to spend but I came away with so much that I didn't need to buy any more clothing until the next season.

And do not be shy to ask Bri for her help, she really knows her stuff and she actually remembers what you bought from there five months ago!

Riley answered the phone and gave me a quick review of what they had in store and made me realize I better stop in. When I got there, she helped me find the perfect pair. Although they were a half size bigger than what I would have ordered and a different color than I had in mind, they ended up being the perfect Sorel wedge sandal and now I'm obsessed. I also was able to use my 30% off bday coupon, which you can use pretty much everything (excludes Birkenstock and another prestige brand I can't think of). What a great deal! Riley also told me I could "double dip" and head over to Sunshine and Bluebirds (right next door). That's where I found more of the Teleties hair clips. These are so great because they lay flat, which omits the uncomfortable feeling of driving with a clip on the back of your head. Brittany who was working at the store, was beyond friendly and easy to talk to. The customer service alone makes me want to go back to both Research and Design & Sunshine and Bluebirds. Pro tip: add yourself to your mailing list and enter your birthday. You'll get a 30% coupon that I can use at both stores.

They're getting their item back in perfect unused shape and want to take extra money from you for an accident? You can find better stores that will build better loyalty without ripping its customers off.

They have it here. It's fun wandering around the store checking out the assortment of items. Warning, this doesn't mean 'made in Buffalo', it's just Buffalo related. But still fun to see.

There were many items that caught my eye and I had to wrangle myself in. I purchased a pair of earrings and two pairs of socks. I got some Christmas shopping done. I will definitely return before the holiday shopping season is over. They have bath items, candles, serving items, barware, clothing, accessories, and so much more.

It felt at the time that the purchase was to please the owner more than myself. The next morning, less than 24 hours after the initial purchase, I attempt to return the dress and the owner said, "I can't believe you would ask to return this." I was a new customer and was not told the store policy at the time of purchase. Essentially, I was punished for shopping there. I faced a hardship because I did not look and read every single thing on her cluttered counter. I could understand refusing the return had the dress been worn, or if the return date was lengthy, but she refused to return my money because there was nothing else in the store worth purchasing. The most challenging part was the owner's deplorable attitude. She only cared about how the purchase impacted her, not me. Had she returned this item, I would have been likely to patronize her business in the future, now, all I will do is avoid it and warn others to be 100% certain of their purchase.

I can't believe I'm the first to review this great little business, which opened in walking disance…read morethe same year I got an apartment on Elmwood near Summer(2006). I was a regular the 2+ years I lived in that location, picking up jewelry & shea butter and chatting with the super friendly owner. I just revisited it after several years away (I live in Black Rock - like anyone on Yelp doesn't know, har har, and don't get to EV much) and was excited to see that not only was it still there, it's flourishing. Ambiance/service - The store is in the back side corner of a non-descript brick building, sharing a small urban "strip mall" of sorts - with Elmwood Market (formerly DVD Dot), a laundromat and a nail place occupying the street-facing shops. It is small and has that market feel common to small, indie ethnic shops without being dingy, dirty or cramped (a la Manar's, now closed). The space is very clean and much better organized than when they first opened seven years ago. Products - The store focuses on traditional African and African-incluenced clothing and accessories, including jewelry, clothing, hats, home decor, instruments, beauty products (shea butter, black soap), scarves and even fabric to make clothes (sold by the 6 yard piece). On my most recent trip I bought a beautiful cream and aqua stone necklace with silver accents - it has a really quality heft and look, with excellent craftsmanship, and set me back less than $25; it was a small price to pay considering teeny bopper mall chain stores charge $12-20 for similar, less quality necklaces. The store also carries a small assortment of African foods and a variety of less traditional clothing that still fits with the shop's vibe. The store has expanded into the spot next to them, with this shop focusing on handbags and accessories. I did not pop in this side, though the owner offered to open it for me, but I took a long gander through the window and it looked clean, well-organized and full of goodies.

I especially loved the variety of Polish Buffalo products. I had to stop myself from purchasing the butter lamb pillow.
