Love this place! Very unique and well made crafts and textiles and other neat items. Got some beautiful pieces from the shop on a cold day, warmly welcomed and no pressure atmosphere.

Small, beautiful boutique full of authentic african goods, the owner was very helpful and knew every item's diverse backstory, mostly handmade in different African countries. Very reasonably priced (almost too low of prices honestly) I would highly recommend for anyone with any interest in African culture.

I’ve been coming here for years to get my work clothes tailored - hemmed, taken in, casual clothes tears repaired, etc. they’ve all held up. I keep coming back. They have a changing room, will have you stand on a thing to measure the alterations, and a few days later, your clothes fit! I’ve also got some cute gifts for family here, earrings and bags.
