Locals Kylie and Luke Mattioda were looking to house their ever-growing media videography business and came across the building on Mill Street.

‘I always thought Utica could use an out-of-doors inspired clothing shop’ said Kylie commenting that the building was a perfect ‘fit’ for what she wanted to do. 

‘I’m old school’ she added. ‘No online shopping here. I want to meet and engage personally with our clientele’ she said. Opened during the tourism off season, they are happy to report that they have met and exceeded all their projected goals.

And check back we will!  Housewares, personal high-end toiletries and gifts round out their eclectic mix.
