This is so great, I love this couple, if you ever stop by the store they treat you like an old friend.
Billy!
A great shop! Very nice people!
Jane picked out an amazing outfit for me to wear to my cousin's wedding 20 years ago. I never would have picked it out for myself, yet it was perfect and elevated my Me-ness. Billy often played music with my daughters on our way home from their day care. Invaluable Humans of the East Village!
