I love a fair trade shop and this one was welcoming and chock full of delightful surprises! The…read morestaff was friendly and welcoming and helped us find various options, as well as had some great suggestions. My purchase of a bracelet made locally was an easy sell as it is beautiful, but there were many other gift items and purchases that I would have liked to make. The prices weren't too bad and each has a story of those who made it, which helps to remind a shopper that their purchase goes toward someone's fair livelihood. Love it! I'd go back and get all my gifts if I had more time, but definitely worthy of a look and a browse.

From outside it looked like a store I could have spent some money at, but after I entered, while…read moremasked up, I was approached by the owner who demanded I apply chemicals to my skin before being welcomed to the store. I refuse to inundate myself with chemicals to passify a business owner living in fear. To respond, I did come in. But I was not made to feel welcome, to even look, because I didn't care to use your chemicals. I had just washed my hands. That should have been enough I feel. "Local" or not, it's chemicals. You tried to force it, I refused, and spent money elsewhere that day. You didn't offer to sign anything accepting any responsibility for adverse effects I might have even . . Main point, You don't get to impose your stuff on my body, and I just hope you'll look at what kind of customer experience I had there and maybe grow from it.

We spent a short bit of time in the store and had the same experience reported by several of the prior reviews... staff that simply wouldn't leave us alone and let us browse.

The reason was, it looked too well organized, clean and more like a boutique-- therefore I reasoned, the prices would be high. I was definitely wrong! Owner, Lydia (Lili) Ramirez, has a passion and an eye for trendy women's clothing and accessories and makes sure each item is clean (she even scrubs the soles of the shoes), pressed and in great condition.
