Handmade Goods, Fashionable Finds and More: Best of the West

Best Cleveland T-Shirt Shop: GV Art + Design

Our Cleveland love is strong —after all, “Home is Where Our Heart Is,” as the popular GV Art + Design shirt says. The local hotspot lets us literally showcase that love on our chests with dozens of creatively designed T-shirts that celebrate our city, root on our local and regional sports teams and even poke a little fun at our quirks.

Best Boutique: Knuth’s

As a women’s wear boutique offering fashionable options for shoes, clothing, accessories and more, Knuth’s keeps style local.  Pop in before a fun night out or just because you want to feel fun and grab a new on-trend sweater to pair with make-you-look-great jeans, a statement bangle and outfit-finishing handbag. The town won’t know what hit it.

Best Handmade Retailer: Talents

Often, the best finds are the ones you come across tucked into a cute, have-to-step-inside sort of shop. This market in the historic Beach Park Station Building features specialty goods from high-quality creators and retailers. You’ll find everything from nostalgic candy to artistic decor perfect for the coffee table and crafted items that celebrate the things you love.
