Some boutiques just sell stuff. That is soooo 2005! Owner and former New Yorker Christina Getachew runs a boutique with a heart, donating thousands of dollars in sales to charities that improve educational services for children in the US. Substance also offers design lab workshops, teaching patrons how to deconstruct and redesign T-shirts, use antique block printing, or recondition your favorite old jacket. That's recycling, Holmes! Despite all these acts of kindness and charity, Substance also finds time to assemble a cool, urban collection of clothing, bags, jewelry, and accessories. You know, it's a little easier to buy a new handbag when you know a chunk of your dough is going to a good cause. We think Substance is a creative mix of philanthropy and marketing genius.
