Beautiful variety of home decor and it changes regularly. Chris is really connected and supportive of the community. For example, all of the art is from local artists. I fell in love with a sofa here but unfortunately the measurements were too big for my apartment. Chris was kind enough to refer me to another store down the street. He wanted to keep supporting the neighborhood. I did purchase a gorgeous lamp here. It's really cool and hangs on an angle, and I can tap the middle hanging piece to adjust the brightness. I'll definitely return to buy more things. Exceptional service from Chris. I highly recommend visiting. Gorgeous store!

This is the kind of store that makes you appreciate the charm of a local business. A curated selection of clothing, accessories, skin care, and home goods awaits you upon arrival. And though items tend to be on the pricier side, they carry a range of brands that run the gamut of price points to satisfy most customers. The staff are so incredibly warm and friendly, you can tell they truly value your business. Example: a customer's dog vomited in the store and the staff helped clean up the mess without batting an eye or lambasting the dog's owner. That's next-level customer service. This store is such a gem! read more

I'm absolutely delighted to have run across this men's boutique in Andersonville. They have everything from home decor, men's sundries, and clothing. Not only are the items excellently curated and unique, the customer service I received was outstanding, the super handsome person who waited on me walked around from behind the counter to hand me my bag. I hope this place takes off like a rocket! read more

So, I'll start with the interior, it was nice, nothing special but not bad also. But unlike from the shops that I went to before, I can say that it is already common and they are comparable to others. But it's still good. Then for the staffs, well, they are nice, accommodating and friendly. They are assisting when I have questions or if I want to look for something around the shop. And of course, for the products, I can say that they have good quality, it was my first purchase from their shop and I am quietly satisfied from what I bought. So, I got 2 shirts for myself and 1 shirt for my brother. The texture and fabric look comfortable to wear, so thumbs up for that. I also like the shorts in their boutique but I have limited budget that time so, yeah maybe next time.
