Ecologie

2615 George Busbee Pkwy NW, Suite 12, Kennesaw, GA 30144.

Kennesaw, Georgia is known for its melting pot of cultures. On every corner, you will find a Korean Bubble Tea shop, or if you visit near the Town Center Mall, you will find Patel Brothers Grocery store, a staple to Indian cuisine. Many individuals live in Kennesaw, which in turn creates a large potential for commerce. Thrift stores are no exceptions. One one street is Plato’s Closet. Another is Uptown Cheapskate. But these are both chain thrift stores, found in many different locations. A true diamond in the rough is found in a shopping center located close to Barrett Parkway, one of the most popular streets for shopping within the city. This is truly a spectacle, called Ecologie.

Ecologie Vintage is a small business that doubles as a thrift store and a boutique. While not built like a grandeur and artsy representation of what a boutique has to offer, the inside is unique. The store expanded into two showrooms, with one containing a predominantly women’s section and the checkout lane, while the other consists of men’s attire, as well as trinkets and decorations that are eye-catching. Ecologie is about promoting a unique culture, and there is a little bit of something for everyone. Are you into rare and unique graphic tees? Well, the store sells them on a carefully catered rack that contains shirts that highlight subjects such as old sports events and teams, vintage brand apparel, or even music concerts. On layers of shelves on the back wall lies many different hats for hat lovers. There are even multiple racks dedicated to jeans, all different sizes for each person. Paired with the men’s attire, there are unique decorations for those looking to spruce up their home’s interior. The special thing about this is they are all different. When I visited recently, I found a green, peacock designed chair and diamond cut ashtrays as well as posters dedicated to cars, baseball players, and historical figures. There were also beautiful couches, plant holders, and mirrors as well as trinkets.

Although Ecologie is unique, one potential thwart to its brand appeal for tourists is the high price point. Yes, Ecologie has unique one-of-a-kind items, but with this comes higher price points for its product mix. Even with this matter, tourists should still consider the location and its appeal, as there are items for everyone. And who knows? Maybe you just got your end of the week paycheck and wanted to splurge on some fashion and decor? Ecologie has you covered. One of the most important things about this store is its willingness to embrace its community. From qualified and kindhearted employees to its selling of apparel for all different body styles (plus-size, super small, and tall), this is a boutique and fashion store you won’t want to miss. So next time you’re in Kennesaw, grab a bite to eat, get comfy, and embrace the splendor Ecologie’s atmosphere and products have to offer. You may walk in wearing one thing, and come out a changed person with new confidence because you found the item that completes your look
