Review from Lans S.
8/18/2011
I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for Adhesif. It is easily one of the coolest shops in the city. I love reworked vintage and while most of the selection didn't exactly fit my personal style (or is it my current financial situation?), I found it all to be beautiful and well crafted, nevertheless.
The uber friendly chick who very much could have been the owner was also very helpful. I spent a good 15 minutes just jibing w/her.
I made out w/a fabulous dress made from salvaged silk scarves and included the sweetest button detailing and pintucking. And, a little black vintage belt w/abalone shell inlay to tie it all together.
Support local designers! -

This little shoppe makes me happy, because every time I wear my little dress, I get compliments. And when I'm cold I bundle up in my shawl. Compliments galore. What can I say, I like being stylish :) and supporting local artists.
Adhesif has a very distinctive style that I appreciate both on an aesthetic and on a good-for-the-environment level, as all of the pieces are made out of other items of clothing. You might also find some cute buttons/broaches and hair pieces here. The prices are for handmade, so they may be higher than you're going to find elsewhere, but you can also wait for "Nifty for Fifty" which is a sale that the owner hosts every spring. It features lots of independent designers, including Adhesif, and everything is under $50. The only downside to this store is that it's very specific. Luckily, Forysa is next door so you can get in more shopping and browsing than if you were to make a trip specifically for Adhesif.
