But then again, giving their awesome edgy vibe, it made sense they would have the awesome edgy sunglasses I wanted. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/panache-seattle?select=XeBegpbCywiwM4pb4AkYVA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE SETUP My gal pal Tanzie and I were on the move through Capitol Hill, just checking out the scenery, hitting comic book stores, and getting selfies with the Jimi Hendrix statue down Broadway a bit. I remembered the Gothic-clothing store The METRO and was saddened to hear from friends that it had closed some time ago. But when I happened upon it's old site, I was surprised - and overjoyed - to find out that PANACHE had taken over the store, and was pretty much in the same line of fashion! HELPFUL STAFF! I was smitten with the sheer awesomeness of both store employees Iris and Fitch (and there was a 3rd but did not get her name - she looked like Sally had just walked out of Nightmare Before Christmas!) They showed me the sunglasses selections, shared the histories of both sides of the stores (there two in one place) and the history of Metro.

The lady working here was very nice and told us the place was the coming together of two adjacent stores, Panache Clothing and New York Exchange I believe. It's hard to nail down exactly what this place is - Part costume store, part specialty store, part fashion boutique. If you're looking for just about everything from a formal top hat to a skimpy leather outfit, some designer shoes or a knife you'd see in Underworld, they've probably got it. It feels uniquely Seattle and it was a fun place to spend 20 minutes! We were looking for a hat specifically as it was stereotypically raining outside. The selection was rather vast and included bowlers hats, townie type caps and some boss level top hats! In the back, we even found an American flag themed Fedora for $5 - Win! While most of the stuff here isn't our dig, the place has a cool vibe, the employees were very chill and there was plenty to look at and try on, plus you'll probably find something you didn't know you needed.

They have men and women's clothing to check out but since I am fairly picky with clothing I did not find anything that quite hit me. But there was plenty of other stuff that I liked. The home decor selection is what really drew me in. Their candle selection I really enjoyed as the primary draw on the home decor front. And of course candy... what would I do without that? They had some great caramels here as well. The f=general vibe with this place is country chic so that is what to pick up from when going here. They also sell pumpkins, peaches, blueberries and more when they are all in season of course. Definitely a place to make a stop at when visiting the island.

I was visiting for a special Yelp event and this place was recommended as a must to visit and they were so very right. As we pulled up in the parking lot, the first thing I saw was the only thing I wanted- a place to sit in the sun and this place has a long patio with two different areas to sit and they are gorgeous. One side had red Adirondack chairs all facing out for a nice view of Little Bird Garden across the way. The other had padded outdoor seating where you could sit and enjoy the sun. So ladies, if your hubbies aren't into shopping, they can hang out on the patio and chill on the patio. Inside there are fun little nooks. This place lives up to the "country store" name because they sell bulbs for flowers, candles, souvenirs and home design items. They also have men and women's clothing and there's a section for old time candy and fun kitchen items. It reminded me of one of those old mercantile shops you see in westerns or movies from the 40s and 50s where they have a little bit of everything and what they didn't have, they could order if you picked out what you want from the Sears Roebuck catalogue. So utterly charming. This place will give you the cozy feels, so you really should check it out!

Since I was staying not-that-far-away, I popped in right after they opened! I was blown away by the sheer size of this place. It looks small on the outside, but it's quite spacious and they literally carry everything. From their designer and vintage sections to a large shoe area, tons of jewelry, handbags, and of course plus size clothing, there was a LOT to occupy my time. When I arrived, the kind woman at the counter gave me the lay of the land, and then I was set free to explore the store. The other two staff members were extremely helpful, too, as I loaded my arms with all sorts of things to try on. I ended up leaving with the aforementioned pink sweater (phew!) and a couple of other things. This is the kind of place you definitely want to keep coming back to, as their inventory is always changing. Prices were on the medium-high side, but that's just the way of the world right now it seems.
