Visit the shop

We sit at the corner of Florida Avenue and Georgia Avenue NW, a block from the Howard University gates — look for the brightly painted front. The space is small and the shelves run floor to ceiling, so tell us what you already wear and we will pull three bottles off the wall for you to try. No appointment, no pressure, and most visits take ten minutes.
