Taking a break from nonstop graphic work this past weekend I paid a visit to a little store in center city, tucked away behind the hustle ad bustle of Walnut St. The store OMOI is a small boutique on Pine street carrying street brands such as Hellz Bellz, Uzi, Upper Playground and alot more. I got a quick second to exchange a few words with the owner Liz. She says:
"The store is on its fourth year now, about to see another birthday. I started it after I took a trip to Japan, studyng languages. I became immersed in the culture and since i could not afford to stay and live there I decided to bring them back with me and open a store to share the things that I love."
Japanese brands like Mr. ttt, and Domo have a significant presence within the store along with numerous books, cameras, jewelry and toys. Cool stuff should definately stop by if you're in the area.
