Retail News in Raleigh

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and this is an Ovarian Cancer Reseach Fund event usually held at Humble Pie each year, in memory of Cherrie Nation.  This year it will be at Father & Son and is well worth a trip.

Working “real” hard to help people “pretend” doesn’t work anymore.

Beside Firefly Shoes and Bistro 607 (one of the best eateries in Downtown Raleigh) on Glenwood South, a new boutique has popped up this summer.  This time it’s not a doggy boutique, but a boutique for people.  FM Goods and Sounds is finally one of the only shops on Glenwood South to actually sell music, clothing and shoes (except Firefly of course).  Most of the vinyl and clothes are street wear oriented, with brands like Vans, DC, North Cack, Diamond, Mishka, Crooks and Castles, each of which are brands that are prominent on the urban streets of New York City. Interior graphics of the shop are by local artist Adam Peele.

Raleigh’s Victor Lytvinenko is preparing to launch a new line of jeans manufactured right here in the triangle.  Verses Jeans will be coming in full effect it seems.  Word on the street, is that the jeans are all made using vintage denim of the highest quality.  How very cool.  New Raleigh wishes Victor and Verses much love & luck.

It seems that Verses may be looking for some good help, and knowing how talented our audience is, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind hearing from you.
