You might have missed Savvy on a Shoestring the last time you were in the Short North, and that's…read morenot surprising. The store is located just off of High on First Avenue, and the only reason we spotted the tiny clothing store was because of a sign that read "Designer Clothes at 'Knock Off' Prices". There was one more thing that caught my eye on that sign, the part that read sizes went up to 20! I'm not a fashionista by any stretch of the imagination, but maybe it's because as a plus size girl I find it really difficult to find name brand clothing in my size that doesn't look like a floral print potato sack. Savvy on a Shoestring is small, with a couple hand fulls of outfits in each size category. Some of the brands I hadn't heard of, but I did notice a fantastic Vera Wang dress on display. Clothing ranges from business, active wear, evening dresses and accessories in the form of handbags and sunglasses. The lady behind the counter was pleasant to talk to and I told her how happy I was that they carried plus size clothing. She said both her and the owner were larger women, so they tried to look after us curvy girls. However, due to a lack of interest (or perhaps a lack of knowledge) from their customer base, they were going to start scaling back their plus size line. Don't let this happen, Columbus! I just found this great treasure of a store!

I've always been curious about Savvy, but they're only open on Saturdays. You don't hear much about…read morethem. They keep a pretty low profile. The store is also tucked on a side street behind Grandview Mercantile. These factors add up to one thing: me forgetting that Savvy exists. But one of my friends went in recently, and she couldn't stop raving about the place. She put three or four things on hold, all major name designers like Versace, Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana...Everything is offered at a huge discount. You can find a $400 pair of jeans selling for $40. I don't know how they do it, but they do. So, this past Holiday Hop, I made it a point to stop in. The store was small but full of clothing neatly arranged on racks by size. Personally, I couldn't find anything that was my style. Everything looked like it was selling to an older crowd. They had a bit of everything from sweat suit jumpers to skirts, blouses, and rain boots. There weren't many duplicate pieces. The workers were nice and had York Peppermint Patties for us. If you're a label whore, give Savvy a peek. It's oddly affordable in a neighborhood full of $200 sweaters.

It's always really well organized and clean in here, with friendly staff. They don't have a very large range of sizes from what I've seen (mostly small-large with an occasional extra small and extra large), but if you do fall within that range, I think it's worth trying a few things out. Very trendy with a lot of different styles. This location is very close to OSU's south campus and Gateway Film Center! Not sure about parking since it is on High Street, but it's very easy to walk or bus from campus.

Their clearance is buy 1 get 1 half off, such a steal! However, their jewelry is a tad pricey. They do sell NYX cosmetics if you are fan of that brand. They have great lipglosses and eyeshadows. Note: They accept returns but only for store credit. No returns on clearance.

I didn't even realize this store had changed ownership until i walked into the sleek new design. I found the jewelry to be most appealing if you like simple costume or silver chains and small earrings. Jewelry ranges in price from $20-$45 and seems worth it. The collection in general is unique. Clothing is pretty basic styles and a few retro mod pieces ranging from jackets to jeans and plenty of knit shirts. I tried on a cute cotton dress that was reasonably priced. While I was in the room the clerk received a call and I heard her chatting. I was pleased to see that as soon as I left the changing room she put the phone down and was very attentive. Prices range from $40-$200. Judging by the style quality and designers this is reasonable and worth it. Nice new addition to the Short North clothing scene.

My friend made arrangements for a private shopping experience for our group of friends during pre-covid times. Katya had snacks and champagne for us to indulge in while we shopped and tried on clothes. When I was told the shop specialized in caftans I wasn't quite sure what to expect. How many vintage caftans can a studio hold? First, not all of the caftans are vintage. Some are newer fabrics paired with older designs. Second, there are also jewelry, hats, rompers, dresses, and shoes! Third, there was more than one room so take your time so you can explore all of the space and find items you like. If we had a question about any item such as care (vintage sometimes comes without care labels) or approximate size in today's world, Katya was able to assist. Nowadays she has items available on her site and on Facebook. You can even sign up for the S.R. Provisions monthly subscription for $35 where a box of items curated around a them is sent to you. Past themes have included cocktails, Sunday mornings, and gratitude.

Here's what I suspect (and I say "suspect" because customer service never explained): the bag was on display in the store for a prolonged period of time and suffered sun damage. Was there any indication of discoloration in the product description? Nope. It's actually appalling, the damage is so bad. Like over $350-for-a-redye bad. Thankfully, even though the item was final sale, customer service did rectify the situation with a full refund. I'm so sad though...that behno bag is sold out everywhere. I hope Rowe reexamines how they handle delicate merchandise like suede so that the quality isn't compromised. I would've expected higher standards from an upscale boutique.
