Butter

On our visit, Butter was doing its very best to stay low key. The storefront is small and the only adornments were two opaque screens blocking a view of the clothes inside. It wasn't working. The store was packed regardless, with women constantly shifting in and out, and we can't really say we blame them. The shop stocks an amazing...

You're walking along with purpose, with places to go and people to see, until you notice intriguing items at a window and have to stop and take a look.
