About me: I am a fabulously glamourous boutique that specializes in fine and beautifully kept vintage clothing. I am situated right next door to Dot's cafe on Clinton St. The secret of my charm and allure is my luxurious atmoshere, where people can literally spend all day relaxing in the dressing lounge area. Slip into some sexy gold pumps while the sounds of Astrud Gilberto waft through the air. I am a bit sexier than your average vintage store. What's an Xtabay you might wonder? Well, I'm glad you asked....The Xtabay is in fact the most elusive of all women. You chase her all your nights and think of her as beautiful as the morning sun...Really, if you want to know more you'll have to come inside. In fact, the walls of the Xtabay are decorated with Beautiful Portraits of Xtabay women..If you've ever seen the Tretchikoff potrait of the Blue Chinese lady, you know what an Xtabay Woman is like. Come inside and discover your own inner Xtabay. She really is inside every women, sometimes she just needs a little coaxing to come out.
More about the shop itself: My owner is constantly scouring Estate sales and attics looking for beautiful garments or you to enjoy. She takes special care to insure that each item is up to her high standards and cleans Everything.
She appears to have a bit of a shoe fetish and has tons of sexy heels for you to teeter around in. I am open EVERYDAY from noon to six. Please come by. You'll be so glad you did.
