Repeat after me: ”I deserve a treat – I deserve something special – I deserve to look fantastic!” Now that we have that settled… instead of going to the same old big-box stores, why not see what your local boutiques have in stock this season? There are so many reasons to shop local.
Reason Number One – You have to love trying to find something that no one else has. The greatest reward is when you strike gold and everyone wants to know “where did you get that?” And that’s the fun in fashion, isn’t it – seeing which trends work, and which don’t? Local boutiques are the trendsetters in the retail world because they constantly hunt for items that will set them apart. How can you not support and respect them?
Reason Number Two – Shopping locally has environmental benefits, like less car pollution and habitat loss, but it also benefits you, personally. According to the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, local businesses often put a large share of their revenue back into the local economy, meaning they are helping your city grow. So, by shopping at boutiques you are not only helping the business, but also you are helping your city continue to prosper.
Reason Number Three – There’s greater opportunity for you to support your local designers and artists! For example, at Via Tucci you will find great fashions by the local manufacturer; Surrealist and jewelry/accessories made by a variety of local artists. We all have hometown pride so why not wear items designed by people right in your neighborhood!
Reason four, five and six…. You deserve a treat – you deserve something special – you deserve to look fantastic!
