About Me

we're a clothing boutique located in the east village part of chicago, illinois. whoop! whoop! the store was founded by veggiesomething on the vision of having a space where art/design, music, and lifestyle converge after visiting the ximending section of taipei, taiwan. therefore, the clothing that we carry deals mostly with art, design, music, and lifestyle. ha, ha, ha... anyway, what makes our boutique a bit different is that we have art shows and openings in our tiny space from time to time and we are artists/designers/musicians ourselves.

oh, veggiesomething would like to remind everyone to live a life that truly lives.
