We Love to Embellish

We're serious about this new accessory store.

Embellish

Sometimes, we embellish a bit. Like that crazy blind date story. So, our date didn’t actually have a greasy mullet, just a little too much gel and a very unfortunate haircut.

Hey, we know how to tell a good story.

What we don’t know is how we survived before Embellish, the adorable accessories store that opened at 4161 N. Lincoln Ave.

Bags, wallets, jewelry, pendants, hats and belts are all artfully displayed, and the owner likes to support independent designers, so everything in the shop has a unique, indie-inspired flair.

This weekend, Tutela handbags will be on-hand to help customers create their own bag. You choose the vintage fabric as well as the type of bag you want, and the Colorado-based company will make it for you. (Shouldn't everything be that easy? Take a look at the styles they offer.)

From the service to the selection, we really love everything about this place.

And no, we're not embellishing.
