For Keith Lewis, six years ago the decision of where to open his store was an easy one. 'This is my home,' says the Brooklyn native who's clothing store offers style conscious clothing for cost conscious pricing.

Located in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, COLLECTHER is a vintage clothing store specializing in women's fashions from and inspired by the 1960s to the 1980s. With affordable prices and one of a kind pieces, this boutique is sure to be a must stop for any recessionista.

The sister store to the flagship in Lagos Nigeria, this boutique specializes in apparel for both men and women. Embedded in 'the truth about color', The Village @ Gureje was also started which is an all-round hub for community activities ranging from serving as a meeting place for local block associations, community board meetings to product launching and promotional events.
