"For the last six years we have been collecting vintage clothing, creating one-of-a-kind upcycled garments, and traveling the country selling our designs at music festivals. You may have shopped with us at Localtopia or seen us at a local music event. Now you can shop with us at our new location in the Warehouse Arts District," owners Emma Charles and Marissa Baker wrote in a Facebook post.
"This is something we have wanted for a very long time."
The fashion designers opened the business with the mission to reduce waste through reusing/recycling/refurbishing vintage pieces.
The shop carries funky casualwear to high-end designer/formalwear.
The store is open Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Clearwater apartments sell for over $28 million
The Enclave at Northwood in Clearwater, a 188-unit luxury apartment community, has sold for $28.25 million.
The apartments, located at 2690 Enterprise Road East, were built in two phases adjacent across from each other next to the 20-acre Clearwater Enterprise Dog Park.

"New ownership plans to hold the asset long-term, benefitting from its strong tenant profile and unique construction style, making it a desirable residential investment that checks all the buyer’s boxes.”

The buyer took out a $31.5 million mortgage from Raymond James Bank.
