What People Are Saying About Blackmail

In Short
Since opening her small shop dedicated to everyone's favorite non-color, owner Gail Chovan has carefully filled it with both vintage and new clothing. Attention to timeless glamour rules over trendiness at Blackmail. Beyond the fur-trimmed capes and beaded flapper dresses lie a meticulously selected collection of menswear, jewelry and home decor. Most decades of the past 120 years are represented; prices vary with age, quality and rarity, yet most items are within a student's reach.

The shopping here is great, even if you don't know how to bring the whole fit together, the staff is exceptional with advice. Personal assistance is always the deal breaker with me, especially with so many cool threads to choose from. Kids clothes is always convenient @ same spot, too.

I really enjoy shopping at Blackmail. I also enjoy checking our their window displays, so creative. I find great buys for men and women. I wish their hours were extended, that is the only draw back. Great place for unique finds. I've purchased many items at Blackmail.

I love this store. They always have lots of interesting items. This is a great place to find something for yourself or as a gift. It is definitely worth checking out. I must admit that when I first walked in I thought everything would be way out of my range, but I was surprised to see prices be fairly reasonable. Everything there fits into the black theme and is great and such good quality. This is a great place to stop in and find something unexpected while enjoying your stroll down the many shops of South Congress.
