Ralph pulled at the tears, making one noticeably bigger, at first saying he could fix it. Then he changed his mind, saying he can't fix it because it's poor quality. But he kept pulling at the tears! I asked him to please stop making the tears worse if he wasn't going to fix them. He immediately got super aggressive with me. I had taken the jacket back by now, and he tried to grab it from me, snarling "I'll fix the mother fucker." By then I just wanted to get out of there. For a moment, I thought he was going to hit me when I wouldn't give him the jacket. If he had been closer to me in age and size, I'd have been genuinely worried. Eventually he just yelled at me to get out, which I was already trying to do. As I was leaving he suddenly said "have a nice day" as if some part of his brain remembered that it's bad business to curse out one's customers. I still cannot believe this happened. All because I asked him to stop making the damage *worse* Check out the before and after picks on the tear!

Well, I needed a pair of hard leather shoes for a wedding. Something funky and classic I could wear for ages... Now being my feet are damaged from years of soccer I needed something wider in areas than a store like Nordstroms offers. Having scene this store on Western Ave at The Market I decided to drop by. Now Leanne ( THE OWNER ) who was uber friendly helped me design my custom shoes. She actually understood what I wanted and made a game changing call to improve everything. She made the suggestion of using a NIKE tennis shoe mold to build by shoe. Thus giving me a dress shoe that felt like comfort of a sneaker. After taking measurements and foot drawings she ordered the mold and proceeded to build my shoes. Now this process takes some time so book a pair in advance. After several months my masterpiece shoes were completed. My shoes are amazing and fit like a glove... Keep in mind custom shoes are not cheap but you have a one of one pair of shoes nobody else will own. Plus you can custom many aspects of the shoe including design color, sole and pattern. Now one more note , they make other items which include belts and wallets. I was super satisfied would recommend anyone to have shoes made at Leola Shoes! Cheers & thanks for all your help.

The owner was polite and professional and made a point of mentioning a couple of changes to his normal hours in the coming days so I could be sure to get my shoes back when needed (he also could have accommodated if I needed them back the same day). At the very reasonable price of $10/pair for excellent work I'll definitely be back.

Yasss! New Sunglasses!…read more SITREP Quick, basic stop: needed sunglasses and I was surprised that this eclectic clothing store would have what I needed. But then again, giving their awesome edgy vibe, it made sense they would have the awesome edgy sunglasses I wanted. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/panache-seattle?select=XeBegpbCywiwM4pb4AkYVA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE SETUP My gal pal Tanzie and I were on the move through Capitol Hill, just checking out the scenery, hitting comic book stores, and getting selfies with the Jimi Hendrix statue down Broadway a bit. I remembered the Gothic-clothing store The METRO and was saddened to hear from friends that it had closed some time ago. But when I happened upon it's old site, I was surprised - and overjoyed - to find out that PANACHE had taken over the store, and was pretty much in the same line of fashion! HELPFUL STAFF! I was smitten with the sheer awesomeness of both store employees Iris and Fitch (and there was a 3rd but did not get her name - she looked like Sally had just walked out of Nightmare Before Christmas!) They showed me the sunglasses selections, shared the histories of both sides of the stores (there two in one place) and the history of Metro. There were cute plushies..... https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/panache-seattle?select=lZ1su16G72i6pqgiEFJVIQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w ...and there were disturbing plushies (PERFECT for that bratty lil niece on your naughty xmas list!) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/panache-seattle?select=l9DkM2ph3NFMSgJCg3UYMg&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w It was a good time!

The lady working here was very nice and told us the place was the coming together of two adjacent stores, Panache Clothing and New York Exchange I believe. It's hard to nail down exactly what this place is - Part costume store, part specialty store, part fashion boutique. If you're looking for just about everything from a formal top hat to a skimpy leather outfit, some designer shoes or a knife you'd see in Underworld, they've probably got it. It feels uniquely Seattle and it was a fun place to spend 20 minutes! We were looking for a hat specifically as it was stereotypically raining outside. The selection was rather vast and included bowlers hats, townie type caps and some boss level top hats! In the back, we even found an American flag themed Fedora for $5 - Win! While most of the stuff here isn't our dig, the place has a cool vibe, the employees were very chill and there was plenty to look at and try on, plus you'll probably find something you didn't know you needed.
