Shore Society feels like a lake breeze. I finally got tired of checking out their dainty designs online and stepped into their Hingetown store. It's an aesthetically pleasing store currently playing Taylor Swift's new album.
INVENTORY: The boutique is big time nautical inspired - think mermaids, seafood, and Lake Erie. You can find cute pairings printed on tees - lobster + wine, champagne + oysters. Beyond the tees, there are wine charms, sweatshirts, hair clips, mugs, candles, necklaces, and more. Clothing goes up to 2XL which is incredibly refreshing. Prices are fairly reasonable considering the uniqueness.
My favorite art print at the store was "Haunted Sites of Cleveland." I had no idea some of them are haunted. Playhouse Square? What an ornate location to haunt.
I was eyeing champagne + oysters tee for $32. I could envision having a Sunday brunch in this tee somewhere lakeside. Ultimately I decided against it for two reasons. One is I like my tees to be a bit baggy and this was a very tight-looking fit. Two is I am the worst person dressed in white due to continuous stains that find me.
SERVICE: The service at this store is okay. There's a lack of warmth and sincere friendliness. Slight elitist overtone.
Stop in if you're looking for a new outfit to sail Lake Erie. You're guaranteed to find unique statement pieces. I'll be on the lookout for pairings tees so that I can finally own Shore Society apparel. read more
