Now is a 'super' time to be a shopper

Frock Shop

Resurrected vintage and resale of name-brand designer goods is the philosophy of Frock Shop, which started almost three years ago. April 2010 was the beginning of trunk shows for family and friends which were well received, offering the notion that there was much room for growth. On Jan. 12, owner Caroline Cook-Frers opened the doors of her new space which includes expanded offerings: furnishings, housewares and menswear. Find the Frock Shop on Central Avenue; open Wed. - Sun.
