Founder Geraldine Chung focuses on curating the shop with unique pieces from young, emerging designers. With inspiration from contemporary art, street culture and menswear, LCD’s mission is to discover and support independent designers from all over the world with a like-minded attitude, unique point of view, and quality craftsmanship. Sounds like our kind of place. Plus, LCD collaborates with artists, photographers, jewelry designers and musicians so the shop is often stocked with exclusive products. Could this boutique get any cooler?

Seattle-based Prism functions as both an art gallery and a collective space for local and indie designers. With an inventory that spans women's and menswear, lifestyle goods, and of course, art books and tools, the space works to curate pieces and goods that are practical and covetable--or as they put it, gifts you buy for others, but keep for yourself.
