Alhambra

The Alhambra discount warehouse is not listed on Judy's book for some reason, but just atop the University Village is this great little nook completely devoted to sales! The prices come down significantly from their main store on out of season items. The t-shirt collection, in my opinion, is a godsend. In the colder months you can always later cotton tanks and tees and in the summer, one of their sleeveless tanks will do great. What sells these tees for me are the colors- not just your regular gray, black, and blue as most Seattle-items stick to, but rather these very vivid colors that will definitely stand out in any wardrobe, despite being in design just a tee-shirt. Great quality materials ensure long-life for these shirts and the sale prices will have you walking out with more than one. Go in and see what you can find! more

You know a clothing store is going to be a success when they have a good selection of hats. This is one such store. The collection extends to glassware,home accessories, jewelry, shoes, as well as clothes. The clothes are by the usual designers. But Alhambra usually picks the best and most interesting pieces of the different designers collections to sell. Alhambra also cares lines by little known designers.The shoes are all works of beauty by shoe artists such as Bettye Muller and E-Shoes. Alhambra is rather pricey though they do have a great sales throughout the year as well as a discount warehouse located by the University Village. more
