In Pane Sight: Swankety Swank

In the window at Swankety Swank: popping colors, bold blazers, refurbished furniture, trendy housewares and plenty of stylish threads made by local master-craftspeople with the conscious consumer in mind.

Swankety Swank is an artist retail co-op that carries an assortment of locally-made (and reasonably-priced) goods, including Art Furniture by Yabette (founder of Swankety Swank), wearable art by Phoenix Zoellick, Miranda Caroligne’s clothing made from salvaged textiles, deliciously-scented Neives Natural Handmade Bodycare, wild-inspired jewelry by Sexi Seaweed and so much more.

Below, a few quick shots of the shop from our window-stalking adventures.

Clothing for men and women that's handmade by local artisans.
