Reviews

Branch Out has received a lot of press, including a mention from Gambit. The green boutique has more than 600 Facebook fans:

• [Owners] Beshel and DeVoe apply a "hip not hippie" mantra to the boutique, which features local and sustainable fashions for men and women. Branch Out sells organic and fair-trade cotton and wool designer brands, recycled and repurposed accessories (think seat-belt bottle openers and former billboards and bullet casings turned into haute couture), and Tencel products, which are made with lyocell, a biodegradable, wood pulp-based wearable fiber. – Gambit
