If it’s made in Sweden, sign us up. Aside from the staples IKEA and H&M, fashion-y types can’t get enough of Acne and Cheap Monday. Leave it to Achilles Project (283 Summer Street, Boston, 617.423.2257) to nab the next soon-to-be cult favorite from the land of tasty little meatballs. In the tradition of Swedish design, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair’s spring collection contains no-brainer pieces that are the perfect mix of impeccably tailored structure and just the right amount of avant-garde. Put more simply: wearable items that will yield unlimited compliments from strangers. Think paper-thin
draped jersey knits, super trendy drop-crotch trousers, and breezy chiffon and jersey dresses that are essentials for hot city days. Great craftsmanship doesn’t come cheap, but these pieces will pay for themselves in the times you wear them this season alone. Those gaps in your spring wardrobe? Consider them repaired.
