This eco-friendly boutique is filled with mostly local designers and earth-conscious pieces that make you feel good when purchasing.  The prices are definitely steep, with clothes from $75-400 and up.  So if you have the cash and the desire to get your hands on fashionable, eco-friendly pieces, then check gominyc out.

The incredibly chatty and friendly staff is willing to walk you through each designer and their philosophy. Most memorable was the brand Majestic, which consisted of French, hand-cut linens in solids, stripes, and the newest experiment: tie-dye.  These difficult-to-find, ready-to-wear pieces are well organized and are hung on the walls for maximum viewing real-estate.

The most exciting finds were the precious metal jewelry, ranging from $30-350.  Delicate rosebloom rings and earring studs are on the less expensive end, whereas more robust pendants and bracelets are more expensive.  The jewelry is created by Brooklyn and East Village designers.
