Against the Wind

Wild Seed Boutique

Marching to the beat of your own drum has landed you alone on your tuchus.

Marching into Wild Seed Boutique? A better idea.

Owners Set Shakur, Tamúra “T” White, and Kianga “Kiki Kitty” have bios as delightful and diverse as the clothes their store carries. Shakur (Tupac’s younger sis) is a stylist who grew up obsessed with sci-fi and fashion. White’s an AIU grad-turned-custom dressmaker. Kiki’s designed for Sean John, Heatherette, Eve, and Justin Timberlake.

Bonsai trees, a water wall, and boudoir-style dressing rooms have pretty-meets-eclectic touches all over. The merch is equal parts upscale vintage (Louis Vuitton and Escada blouses and Falcon Crest-worthy ’80s cocktail dresses, last we checked), bicoastal flirt (LaRok tanks, Serfontaine jeans), and indie pieces by the owners and their designer pals.

Don’t blow this one off.

Wild Seed Boutique, 225 East Ponce de Leon Avenue, suite 130, Decatur (404-371-9453 or 3wildseeds.com).
