Today’s post is going to be about a very special project – started exactly one year ago – which is probably one of the most important ones during our fashion adventure.
As you all know, our main career focus is the creation of our online boutique named “e-outfit.com”, however at some point we felt that we needed to create a “physical” store located in the heart of Athens that would reflect our personality & inspiration.
Moreover it would be a place where we could meet our beloved customers & followers “offline” giving us the opportunity for personal contact with them & some honest styling advise for the ones who seek it.
Last but not least, it would be the perfect place for you to have a closer look to our garments available online and our upcoming collections.
To us the creation of our “e-outfit.com” Concept Boutique at Tsakalof 16, is something much bigger than just a flagship store or a showroom.
It is our home.
We had loads of fun while collecting these “start-up” pics from here and there, while we have to admit we got a bit emotional, therefore we felt the need to share these moments with you guys.
Enjoy…
