This post is dedicated to all the ladies out there…(and the boys who like to buy gifts for ladies). We’d like to welcome a new retail shop that started carrying Jedidiah this past Holiday season. That shop is Penelope T Boutique in Tampa, Florida. This adorable, chic ladies boutique is located near the stylish neighborhood of Hyde Park and has been a go-to place for unique fashion since 2005.

To give you a better idea about the shop, we had a little Q&A session with owners Nickie and Manne. Here’s what they had to say:

JEDIDIAH: How long have you been in business and what inspired your shop name?
PENELOPE T: We have been open for just over four years now… we named the store after Penelope Tree, a slightly obscure British model from the 60’s… at a young age she had a cult following due to her rebellious style and became the muse of famed photographer Richard Avedon- we liked that she wasn’t as well know as more popular super-models of the decade like Twiggy and slightly off-kilter and quirky. That is why we have the tree in our logo.
J: What products do you specialize in?
P: Unique, contemporary women’s clothing and accessories… we don’t sell any work clothes, just fun clothes!
J: Describe your customer?
P: She is a modern woman- She may be 20 or she may be 50 but she follows fashion and knows what she likes…she loves to look different than the rest of the people at the party while still being comfortable.
J: What is your favorite thing about your city?
P: (There are) tons of fun, energetic people who are always out and about. Tampa has a great vibe.
J: Is there something unique about your shop or anything else that you’d like people to know?
P: We always try to support up and coming talent and bring new lines into the store every season.

For everyone in Tampa this weekend for the big pirate festival, Gasparilla, go grab one of the Jedidiah AHOY pirate ship tees at Penelope T!
