These stores have been recommended to me by colleagues and students here in the Fashion Design and Retailing Program at Framingham State College. The stores located nearest the College are listed first. I try to keep the list updated but you should call the store to verify location. Please let me know if you have other favorite stores I can add to the list — Professor Arlene Handschuch (ahandschuch@frc.mass.edu) |
