Velvet Sol is a super cute second-hand clothing store with a wide variety of affordable selections ranging in styles from Y2K to boho chic. The selection, I've found, is primarily geared toward a feminine clientele, though I myself have had no issue shopping there as a guy. (The owner did mention there are plans for a larger men's selection soon). The owner was very friendly and helpful. It is clear that she cares a lot about the local community and sustainable practices. This is also evident in the other local vendors, artists, and events frequently featured alongside the already large Velvet Sol assortment. Oaktree Treasures, for example, makes awesome upcycled handmade jewelry!
All in all, Velvet Sol fits well within the Southside and greater downtown community. Its location at the corner of Butler and San Francisco St. is extremely convenient. I have already found myself stopping by to browse quite frequently. If you haven't had the opportunity yet, I highly recommend stopping by and checking it out especially for it's Grand Opening in April! read more
