They are able use the space to test new designs, gain visibility and build a clientele. In fact, several RAG designers have taken their line and gone on to open their very own boutiques.RAG's Curator Blakely Bass, a sewing enthusiast and environmentalist at heart, founded the store in 2002. This cooperative boutique is curated much like an art gallery – only the art is wearable. Local clothing and accessory designers rent space on a monthly basis. They then outfit a rack or shelf with their latest designs and biographical information about their line. By not catering to a particular niche, RAG is able to fully embrace the community's diverse style and creativity. The result is a kaleidoscopic shopping experience.There is a constant influx of new men's women's and children's clothing, accessories and home designs. And with merchandise crafted on a monthly basis by over 60 designers, the racks boast anything from seams out one-of-a-kind gems to more tailored ready to wear garments.Proudly acting as a nexus for the local fashion community, RAG is in a unique position to foster up-and-coming talent.
