El West

Full disclosure: I live and do business in the area but I’m not connected to the store… I have a weakness for unique accessories I can find at U. Outfitters and Anthro. but I’d rather not support that type of chain. Imagine my surprise when I discovered independent local alternative El West!
One of a kind bags, bracelets and Ipod Arm Bands made by a local designer from recycled goods, w/​a tough motorcycle feel. For instance, I found this wonderful bag, very well thought out that closes with a vintage car seat belt buckle, a’ la those chrome messenger bags but way less generic or floppy looking. He also does belt buckles, and more… If you want to add some «rock & roll» or «mad max» elements to your wardrobe this just might be a resource for you! Aviator boots, quality spiked leather wristbands, plus a wide range of cowboy boots naturally…
This is also my go-​to place for Guayabera shirts for men!
For women, yes a lot of the items are utterly saucy! They’ve got that brash vibe that works well paired with cigarette pants and the like. Again, it’s rock and roll, night time, smoked-​out eyes, bohemian & careless fun, not for the office! (Though some items could be dressed down) Think about the pieces individually, and how you might rock it. You’d be amazed at the fun things you can discover in this tidy little delicious smelling store! Bonus points for an accurate three (four!?) way mirror in their homey dressing room.

I like this store. Its kinda tacky but sweet.

The thick odor of tanned leather fills your nostrils as you enter this urban trading post. It tells you that quality goods can be found here, despite its proximity to the junk depots Dollar general and Sun Discount. Go ahead and examine the boots, feel the crocodile leather and the gossamer snakeskin. What was $ 599 is now just $ 300!
If animal slaughter is repugnant to you, then you can choose from a variety of lettered panties, each with a special message for your man (or woman). At checkout time you’ll notice the collection of signature belt buckles, in case your Western get-​up needs some more chrome.
Overall, this is a stylish and attractive store with high quality merchandise.
