While lamenting DSW’s decision to open by West Farms instead of in Hartford, you might have missed that That Flavour Boutique at 101 Pratt Street opened a few weeks ago.
Stock ranges from animal-print flats covered in rounded studs to clear boots to all variety of stilettos. There are camo rain boots, sandals, and sneakers. Prices range from $30-150.
Owner Sara Berger lives on the same block as her store.
“I’m a Hartford lover,” Berger said. She noticed that there was no shoe store in the central business district, so she jumped.
“The timing was perfect” for this market, she said.
The merchandise — shoes and hosiery — is on shelves along the walls. Chairs take up the center of the boutique. The vision is for the space to be used for birthday parties and events, like an upcoming “all black affair.”
That Flavour Boutique is closed on Sundays only. They are open Monday-Friday, 12-8pm and Saturday, 12-5pm.
