Ohio Knitting Mills at 231 Smith Street has closed its doors for good.
The store with the fun 1950's and 60's one-of-a-kind vintage sweaters was being emptied yesterday as I was passing by. Today, the place is empty, only a sign in the window:
We have loved being here, but now we must say " see you later" as we wind down our Brooklyn Boutique. We will be closing the store as of April 1st. We want to send a Huge Thank You to all our wonderful customers and friends who have supported us and shared in our fun adventure.
The "Virgin Vintage Knits" in those fun patterns will continue to be
sold on Ohio Knitting Mills' web site, www.ohioknittingmills.com

I'm actually not surprised. It was a cool idea, but the sweaters were kind of ugly-chic and very expensive. Like around $200 each. I never saw anyone buy anything in there. Probably smart to go all-online.
I think a lot of these places need the exposure that a store provides, but once they have a certain clientèle, they can do their business exclusively online.
The place will most probably become another restaurant...
I always wondered how they survived the summer and some of the outfits they had in the window were real doozies! Hope they have better luck on line.
