In an area filled with expensive designer boutiques, cookie-cutter department store chains, and very little in-between, finding a fashionable, unique wardrobe without breaking the bank can be a real challenge. But Ronda Chowaiki, a 25-year veteran of the retail, wholesaling and merchandising industries, made it a bit easier October 2004 when she flung open the doors of Ronda’s Closet.
Ronda’s Closet is a women’s fashion Mecca filled with affordable treasures retreived from as nearby as Los Angeles and as far away as New York and Paris. Highlights range from a wide variety of denim and tops, to dresses in every color and shape. “It” brand jeans and unique fashionable blouses. There’s also a complete line of distinctive accessories, such as Liquid Metal mesh bracelets, purses of every size and an abundance of earrings and necklaces you can’t get enough of. Archipelago candles and Cucina lotions fill the air with scents you have to have. Some might say that this retailer is an extension of Ronda’s own closet: it is full of reasonably priced, contemporary pieces.
