Two locals with a passion for fashion are opening a custom-made clothing boutique on Passyunk with high hopes for the avenue's potential.
Issac, a manager at King of Jeans at 1843 Passyunk Ave., who did not want to give his last name, said staying open is a great idea in theory, but in his experience, it just doesn't work.
"I tried later hours and it hadn't really been working," he said. 'We're in a recession where people have a limited amount of funds. I wish them luck because anything that works will benefit all of us. It's better to have a store than an empty store. Maybe they could start a trend."
The opening of Aci Nae, then, couldn't come at a better time.
"I feel like it's overdue. We've been all over [the world], took every aspect, we learned from it and we just put it in our own business," Didonato said.
"We're bringing it home ...," Mullett added.
"... And we're ready," Didonato finished.
