PEcado Fashion House — Local services in Petoskey

Spending time at PEcado in Petoskey was an exceptional shopping experience. I was looking for two specific items: 1) a new handbag and 2) a uniquely designed mini pouch to fit an iPhone.

For the handbag, I found a style I loved, but the available color wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Alona suggested creating a custom piece in any color and texture I desired. That started a collaborative process that was so enjoyable! Alona listened to my preferences and offered thoughtful suggestions that aligned perfectly with my taste. The bag is nearly complete, and I can’t wait to receive it.

For the mini pouch, I was equally impressed with Alona’s approach. She asked insightful questions to fully understand my needs, making sure every detail was accounted for. Her attention to detail and commitment to checking in throughout the process gave me full confidence that the final product will be exactly what I envision and need.

I wholeheartedly recommend PEcado to anyone. It’s a lovely shop with a friendly, well-organized atmosphere, beautiful merchandise, with the added bonus of custom design options. The entire experience was...

I occasionally tag along with my wife when she goes shopping in downtown Petoskey. We stop in and browse at PEcado during many of those trips. I have a career background in product design and I am always impressed with this store, in its lineup of clothing and accessories, the store design itself, and especially the staff. From my perspective this shop has one of the most progressive and forward looking layouts, displays, and selections in northern Michigan, a smaller scale version of a higher end shop that you could find in the major cities. Likewise the owner and staff are friendly, patient, and professional. Also, I want to give them a shout out based on my first hand experience during the recent 2023 Petoskey Ladies Night Out. Many of the stores were simply horrible to the few guys who were there with their wives/partners. PEcado was one of the select few who were very friendly, kind, and welcoming to those men of which I was one. Based on my experience that evening, I know which stores I will be going to purchase my wife’s Christmas gifts from…PEcado is on that...

One of the coolest things about living in a small town is observing the output of small businesses, and how they collectively contribute to a local culture. So to see a store of bespoke high fashion, dresses, bags, belts is incredible. Now while it's only for women, (I'm waiting on the mens section) I've found it incredibly useful to take fiends and clients here just to observe how extraordinary it is to witness the creation and production of fashion goods. Observe above the work station and sowing machine. Many of the goods are made and assembled here locally. The lady who runs and owns the store is very smart, and can speak five languages. I once put in a custom order for a clutch bag for a girlfriend which she designed and it was beautiful. She let me pick out the leather, crafted the entire thing herself, and was very...
