Indeed, that's what you'll find here among the urban decor of canted steel girders, artsy columns and walls stamped with ants to form repetitive patterns. Akines has amassed a wealth of fashion-forward clothing and accessories for men and women, as well as antique and modern home furnishings from around the world.

Rather, you'll find logo T-shirts sporting the original art from more than 90 (cool) independent businesses, all in one spot. "Real shirts from real places," as the shop's tagline says.
