It was also quite dark in here which made looking at clothing, fabric etc. difficult. If I was back in the area I might check their stock during another season to see if the short-shorts have been replaced with something that might work in my wardrobe, but alas, not today.

A few weeks ago I noticed a few racks of Eskell dresses/skirts at a Beta Boutique sample sale and I was hooked! Elegant, feminine, and unique pretty much sums up Eskell. Today I paid Eskell a visit and found more of their gorgeous clothing, as well as clothing from a few other designers and a few racks of cool vintage clothing. Everything is reasonably priced and even more so when it's all marked down like it was today. And Kelly (one of the designers/owners) was a doll! If Kelly and Elizabeth continue to design clothing this adorable I'll for sure be making this one of my frequent shopping destinations. Nice work gals!

Happy Belated Clothing works with a Japanese partner to take on huge shipments of secondhand…read moreclothing every 3 months or so to prevent them from hitting landfills. Pricing is based entirely on weight--$10 per pound--regardless of item. I recently went to visit them after they received their most recent shipment. The store is decently spacious and there were several changing rooms and mirrors around the shop. I went through pretty much every rack, and I was pleasantly surprised how many nice pieces of natural fibers there were, the nice mix of Japanese, Chinese, Korean and even American brands. It felt like a breath of fresh air for anyone who is used to the usual rotation of brands available in thrift stores like Goodwill. If you need some help identifying natural/synthetic fibers, here's a handy list of words to try and remember: Synthetic fibers: ポリエステル (polyester) レーヨン (rayon) アクリル (acrylic) ナイロン (nylon) ポリプロピレン (polypropylene) スパンデックス (spandex) ポリエチレン (polyethylene) Natural fibers: 綿 (cotton) 絹 / シルク (silk) 革 (leather; may follow 羊 (sheep) for example) カシミア (cashmere) 麻 (hemp; quite rare, I saw exactly 1 piece made of hemp) リネン (linen) Due to the way the products are packaged and shipped to the US, anything you buy will likely need a good iron/steam. Additionally, there is an adorable store cat, Ula. If you have a particularly sensitive allergy to cats, be aware! All in all, the shop is clean, easy to browse and can be a really good deal in getting some brands typically unavailable in the US.

I enjoy the vibe and how well the small shop is laid out. However, the prices are steep for many items, so I doubt I'll be checking it out too often, given my frugal nature.

The interior could not be more neat, and I can tell that the owners have put a lot of thought in what they are sourcing for the shop.
