Karisma Klothing

Remember Christmas 2006 in Cincinnati? In case you don’t, allow me to remind you.
2006 was the Year of The North Face in this great city, and the popular jackets and fleeces were NOWHERE to be found that Christmas season. All of the large retail stores (Dick’s Sporting Goods, Macy’s, etc.) had sold out of the jackets or had a very limited selection for sale. Luckily for me, a friend turned me on to a little-​known boutique in Hyde Park Square called Karisma Klothing. KK not only carried The North Face line, but the store had every color, size, and design that was in demand that season. I was able to find the jackets that friends and family members had so desperately been searching for all year.
Karisma also happens to be one of the few stores in Cincinnati that carries designer jeans, mainly Seven for All Mankind. I have been guilty of spending too much money on jeans ever since I tried on my first pair of Rock and Republic’s four years ago, so I was thrilled to find a store so close to my house that carries high-​quality denim.
On a side note, if you don’t walk into Karisma looking like you just stepped out of a fashion mag the staff will turn up their noses at you… but as soon as they see you plan to spend you’ll have more help then you’d ever need to buy a pair of jeans.
