Uptown Flavor Fashion Guide
I was working on putting together a post about the many specialty boutiques and retail shoppes that Harlem has to offer, but this writer beat me to the punch. I have already posted about N Boutique on 116th Street and I also mentioned Montgomery in a past post.
My piece was going to talk about shops mentioned in the article like Denim Library and B. Oyama both located along 7th Avenue. Pieces neatly tucked away on 135th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues mostly offered an array of fashionable tees when I visited the store shortly before Memorial Day weekend. Harlemade is easily overlooked due to scaffolding outside of building but they offer a unique selection of branded gear and accessory gifts. They have recently been joined on the block by Purple Reign, a children’s shoe boutique.
Three stores that were not mentioned in the article that are worth knowing about are Purple Reign, located on Lenox Avenue; Xukuma which is also on Lenox Avenue; and Progressive Unlimited located on 125th Street for years. Features on these boutiques will be forthcoming.
If you have a favorite store that wasn’t mentioned please let us know in the comments section or via email uptownflavor[at]gmail.com.
