Enjoy my time here. A lot of great things!
I really like supporting small local businesses but not when they mark things up so high. This store is EXPENSIVE. Not to mention things that aren't locally made seemed to be marked up over $5+ than big box stores. There was even an item DOUBLE what you could get it at Amazon. I don't want to support Amazon, but why am I paying extra for shopping "small". I just find it annoying, the store is beautiful with a great selection. I just didn't expect all the locally made goods to be luxury and the rest to seemingly be marked up.
I had such a fabulous trip to Cargo today! I wandered in to check out jewelry and hooooo boy was I not disappointed! I’m not much of a jewelry girlie but I timidly asked for help putting a jewelry wardrobe together for an upcoming wedding. Wow, never imagined I’d walk away with such special, gorgeous pieces from the Hill Tribes of the Indochinese Peninsula. And ya know, relatively affordable! I’m so thrilled and I highly recommend to anyone looking for unique pieces. As the Love Islanders say, I’m absolutely buzzin!
I want to live inside this store! It's all gorgeous and so fun! Very eclectic inventory with a mix of old and new. There is something to look at everywhere and the decor is creative and transportive. Totally reminds me of how Anthropologie used to be. Staff is helpful, and there is also a bathroom available. For kimono lovers, there is a great selection of men's and women's kimono (though a lack of Haori), along with juban, obi (mostly fukuro), and some accessories. Probably the best in the city. Behind the museum Cafe has a couple kimono but the selection here is much larger. Not to mention more teaware available, like chawan. I was sad to miss their annual kimono sidewalk sale as I was in town visiting and unable to accommodate it into our itinerary. But apparently it's a big deal and if you live close by or can time your visit to the sale, I recommend it. They have inventory for it that is not put out a majority of the year.
If you’re looking for one of a kind treasures this is the place! 2 stocked floors that will take hours to adequately admire. Every nook and cranny is jam packed with beauties. It’s like World Market if Cost Plus kept each item unique and not reproducible. There are standard, stock items, and then a revolving display of options.
