"Spreading Cleveland Pride One T-Shirt At A Time!"

They invited other artisans and designers to compliment their popular t-shirt designs. The store soon filled up with locally made jewelry, art and furniture. It was voted "Best Boutique - East Side" in 2010 by Cleveland Magazine. With a thriving online store that ships all over the world and a popular store front, in 2012 they opened up a Flagship store in the heart of do
