I do not see this store staying open long. There are things in there that look cute and I would like to have them, but they're unnecessary and expensive.

The new hippie symptom - buy our way out of climate, capital catastrophe.

That place is awful; it doesn't fit with the neighborhood. Just look at the way it's set up inside with hanging doors ... And the prices!

I applaud her intention but the bottom line is consuming things causes pollution. Make it useful and green and I'll buy it. A $100+ necktie made from old audio cassette tape is insane--is that thing outgassing directly down my throat or what?

The lighting issue is a silly thing to focus on considering the amount of carbon some of the things in your store are made from..the purchase price does not fit in with the neighborhood and is more Laurelhurst or Queen Anne.

That must be the fastest irrelevant name-drop I've ever seen.

Wait don't the True's owe their fortune to Gull Oil? I guess this is sort of like a carbon offset. Not knocking them mind you. Western Bridge is for sure cool and they throw some great parties.
