We Thieves @wethieves
After three years at Bow Market in Somerville, We Thieves has just “graduated” and moved to a new location close by in Inman Square in Cambridge. This female-owned creative and conscious fashion and lifestyle boutique features curated vintage and global finds while promoting independent artists of the area.
Owner and curator Sandra Rossi describes her customers as “stealing for the greater good,” meaning with each purchase, customers are effectively extending the life of a garment destined for landfill and voting with your dollar to shop small and local. We Thieves is home to a collection of unique pieces and rare finds that have been intentionally selected to seamlessly merge with your current wardrobe. You can expect to find high quality, staple and statement pieces proven to last for many years to come.
