Rising Boutique is a tastefully created, higher end-ish women's boutique in the Hingetown neighborhood. It's hugged by two others surrounding boutiques, so make a day out of it. I sure did stepping in for the first time today.
AMBIANCE: The shop smelled like intense fall creating the perfect shopping mood. Against white exposed brick there are various pockets of treasure. Service is warm like autumn sunlight.
INVENTORY: The selection is pretty expansive from purses to candles to purses. I'm a huge fabric snob and found them to be well curated here - silks, cozy sweaters, and textured pieces. I'd call this collection very elegant. All very touchable! The prices greatly vary. One purse that caught my eye was $98 which is pretty much the equivalent of sale Coach purse. The inventory is not listed online so stop in at the West Side or East Side locations.
I wasn't impressed with the size assortment at the store. The sizes only go up to L. I wear XXL or XXXL so nothing in the store would remotely fit me. But petite girls could easily build an entire unique outfit for any occasion - work, formal, and leisurely weekend.
I liked this boutique in terms of being on trend, on season, and perfect curation. I didn't love that I couldn't find something that would fit me. I won't be shopping here due to sizes, but recommend that anyone seeking sophisticated outfits plans a visit. read more
