Although the holiday season is just about over, there is never a bad time to share gifts with family and friends. If you love unique and affordable presents, Downtown Detroit has some great spots for you. Three of my favorite retail venues are Norah’s Vintage Loft, DSE Detroit, and Source Booksellers. Each of these stores carries wonderful clothes, trinkets, books, and body products that can put a smile on anyone’s face.
Norah’s Vintage Loft: 214 Grand River Detroit, MI 48226
When you walk into Norah’s you almost feel as though you are walking into your own closet. The store’s comfy vibe makes the shopper feel right at home as they peruse the tastefully selected vintage inventory.
Why I like Norah’s: Fun fact about me…my ears aren’t pierced. One of the main reasons I love Norah’s is the stores amazing clip on earring collection. As my fellow clip on wearers know, it can be extremely hard to find a great pair of earrings.
DSE Detroit: 202 Grand River, Detroit, MI 48226
What better way to show your love for Detroit than with a graphic T-shirt or crewneck sweater? DSE Detroit, is a locally owned and run clothing line that uses fashion as a way to spread positive messaging about the city.
Why I like DSE: When I purchased my first DSE T-shirt, the first thing I noticed was the soft fabric. When commenting on this wonderful surprise, the store owner noted that quality and care are important to him. He wanted to design a ladies T-shirt that would feel great on the skin and look great as well.
Source Booksellers: 4201 Cass Ave., Detroit, MI 48201
If you are looking for a store that takes the shopper’s mind and body into consideration than Source Booksellers is the shop for you. This small independent non-fiction bookstore supplies books from for major genres: History and Culture, Health and Well Being, books by and about women, and books about the Metaphysical and Spiritual. In addition to literature, you can also by body products, art, and accessories at Source.
Why I like Source Booksellers: I get a glowing internal satisfaction from getting or giving a book that I know is going to spark amazing ideas and conversations. Every time I go into Source, I’m always excited to find a new book to challenge my way of thinking or help me to understand another person’s perspective.
