Velvet Fly

Description:

• The merchandise here isn't exclusively vintage, but even the newest pieces share that sensibility -- you definitely won't see your outfit on anyone else. Unusual accessories complement the flirty fashions. The Velvet Fly is one of the little boutiques that's helping the North End develop its own quirky fashion sense; it's on the main drag past where the restaurants peter out.
