Art dealer and retailer Geraldine Barclay-King has brought Africa to Woonsocket. Now, she has moved her African-themed shop Geri’s Bluffing Boutique to 285 Main Street this spring.
"Clothes talk to you, say things about you," says Barclay-King. "My West African roots show in what I wear and the items in my home." Though she started mostly with apparel, she has expanded to gifts, fashion accessories, and home decor from Africa along with handmade items and music.
"At first my inventory was from my travels to Liberia," she said, "Then I bought animal prints for face masks, bow ties for men, and mud cloth for furniture and it all took off."GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE -- SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST
