I'm surprised that there's no existing Yelp page for this store, as there are a few UCHUU sites in…read moreMontreal, and it's been around since 2016. It's a woman-owned, Montreal based brand that specializes in women's clothing and accessories. I've passed this shop on Greene quite a few times in the past, and my mother has often visited here with her friend over the past few years. Today was the first time I actually went inside and I was impressed by the pricing, as everything in the store was 60%! (It's not often I stumble upon a good sale like this!).
I should note at the outset that this shop has only women's clothing and accessories (sorry, guys and kids!). Also, this shop doesn't have classic, traditional or basic clothing. Rather, everything here is trendy, funky, some borderline wacky (!), all fun, most unique, some "out there". Think purses made completely of faux fur with pom-pom zipper pulls, jackets covered with sequins in various colors and patterns, leather-like black jackets with tons of zippers, long and full red tuille skirts, groovy mini-dresses made of metal mesh and silver discs, and more, so much more. SO so fun and funky. Yet, yet.....in between all these wild fashions, there ARE some more ...."regular" fashion to be found. I saw a fabulous black pair of pants that were high-waisted with gold sailor buttons at the top and, wow, if I were younger and thinner, I'd get these in a heartbeat. They totally rocked, and were really well-made, too. They had a black swing top that I loved, and a silver belt with a retro/60's-esque modular belt buckle that was awesome. There was a rack at the back of more basic t-shirts and tops, tank tops to wear as base layers, and other foundation items (the clothes on this rack were the only items in the store that were not offered on their 60% off sale). They had lots of accessories that were cool (lots of big rings and hoop earrings, leather belts in various solid colors, hats, bling-ed out water bottles, and more).
By the cash was a rack of scarves and most of these were amazing! Very graphic, some very colorful, all terrific! I found a few that I really loved and, being 60% off, what a steal! I got one for a friend's birthday that regularly cost $65 (and looked like it'd cost more, actually). I was thrilled with my find, and what a great deal.
The lady working the cash was super nice and fun to talk to.
This is such a fun and funky shop, and surprising to find, on posh Greene Avenue where usually the fashions in shops are more staid and traditional. Cool!
