YOU GUYS ROCK TO HIGH HEAVEN

“A Quote from a Happy Customer”

“I am ecstatic about the boots you sent me! Just overjoyed! I spent the day wearing them and they fit me like a glove. The worn out leather is just perfect and the studding job is more perfect than I expected or imagined them to be. Just when I thought that back in November that the boots were “sold” to someone else- I panicked and called your shop and was told that there was no way of knowing, but they were as good as gone; I went back to your shop here on Etsy and saw they were back! I guess they were meant just for me.
This Christmas, I got some amazing gifts, but none more spectacularly perfect than these boots.
These are soooo perfectly worn out, but have so much life in them and are my dream boots! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Can’t wait to buy more items from you both here on Etsy and in your store in the city.”

YOU GUYS ROCK TO HIGH HEAVEN!

Sarah is wearing a vintage 1970s vest borrowed from a neighbor, a sweater from Metropolis in the East Village, a dress from Urban Outfitters, and shoes from Metropolis. Her bag was a gift from her brother and she filched her hat from a buddy in Copenhagen. Metropolis is her favorite store.
