Unique Clothing


LikeI said above, a chain shop will have the same styles in every store. But, local shops tend to have things that you won’t find in chain stores. You can buy something super cute in your community, the go out of town for the weekend wearing an out fit no one else does! You get to stand out more!


Super Cute Options


When shopping at a local store, their styles and designs are always SO cute! They have something for every body type, style, size, anything! They make sure their clothes are trendy, cute, and flattering on everyone!


Worth the Money

Yes, they can be a bit pricey, but it’s totally worth it. I know I would much rather wear a fifty dollar shirt that is GREAT quality than a ten dollar shirt that will only last me about a year. Local shops ale sure that their clothes are good quality, that can be worn so much longer after it’s bought.


Nice Employees

I tend to shop locally a lot, and anytime I go into these shops, the employees are always so sweet and helpful. Sometimes it is much harder to find those kind workers in chain stores. I have never had a bad experience with local shop employees. They know how to talk to you and make sure you have a good time while shopping with them!


You help out your community


Nothing seems better to me than getting a cute outfit, and while doing so, helping out my community! It’s a win-win situation for everyone.


When shopping locally, I always make sure to let those employees know how amazing their shop is! To remember that who they work for, and what they do, is amazing! They could have worked at any store in town, but they chose to work at a store that is only in their community. How amazing is that?


Support your local shops and go get yourself something nice in the process!

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
