Three hair stylists working together at Obadiah Salon a year ago sat down and shared a dream to open a high-end fashion forward clothing store. A year later Apryl McCarthy, Serenity Wallen, and Gabe Walton have achieved their dream.
They opened RAG, a much-needed men’s clothing and high-end fashion boutique at Bellevue Place at the beginning of August. Bellevue Place is also where Obadiah Salon is located. Downtown Bellevue is now beginning to receive a reputation for being a well-respected shopping mecca, and RAG fits into this profile to a tee.
RAG is targeting male customers in their 20’s – 60’s. They are going for that customer who doesn’t want to be like everyone else, “He wants to stand out in the boardroom.” said Apryl. You will stand out in the boardroom wearing RAG’s unique, sophisticated and elegant clothing.
Anything from T-Shirts, jeans, and suits are all featured in the store. A personal favorite was the high-end umbrella’s they offer. This seems like a natural in Bellevue. Imagine being dressed up in your best suit with a chinsy $1.99 umbrella walking down Bellevue Way. Something doesn’t seem right about that picture.
Get your wallet ready…the clothes aren’t cheap. But you get what you pay for. The clothes, and service are of the utmost quality. And the best part is that you can just about bet that nobody else will be walking around Eastside with the same outfit, the clothes are imported from the east coast.
Go and check it out, the store is very inviting. The owners are very hands on and seem to genuinely be having a fun time with the store.
