New in Carytown: B-Sides Thrift Boutique

by | Jun 4, 2010 | ART

B-Sides Thrift Boutique is the most recent installment to Carytown’s ever-evolving collection of fashion and retail shops. The store, which opened last week, boasts a variety of women’s and men’s apparel in a wide array of styles from vintage to modern with plenty in between.

Situated at the eastern edge of Carytown, right across from Capital Coffee and the Byrd Theatre, B-Sides is a cool, laid-back little shop with a casual, informal atmosphere, eclectic soundtrack, and sharp, always helpful staff. It’s a comfortable, easy-going with a good vibe. When you pay the store a visit, you might recognize mother-daughter owners Leslie and Claire Tuite (pronounced “chewt”) from their other enterprise, Robinson Street’s longtime standard restaurant and bar Helen’s. This most recent endeavor was a natural next step for the duo, who both have their own distinct fashion and design senses, and an appreciation for all things stylish.

From flowery summer dresses, to jewelry, to jeans, to a killer selection of punk, hardcore, and graphic tees, as well as swim wear and formal wear, B-Sides has a little bit of something for everyone. The ladies of B-Sides offer store credit and cash for new items every day, as well as alterations on items in the store and any outside items. On top of all this, B-Sides, in partnership with Worthless Junk Records, offers a selection of new and used vinyl.

B-Sides is located at 2925 Cary, and Store hours are 11-7 Monday-Friday and 12-6 Saturday and Sunday, so go in and check out what is already looking to be a welcome addition to one of Richmond’s most unique shopping areas.
