Old City Philly boutique store Philadelphia Independents announced that it’s closing its doors for good at the end of this year, after over 12 years in business. View this post on Instagram “We have loved our ‘small but mighty’ spot in Old City, all of our fabulous neighbors, amazing customers, and of course all of our makers that made it all possible,” shop co-founders Tiffica Benza, Ashley Peel and Jennifer Provost wrote on Instagram. In a sea of mass-produced Liberty Bells, Rocky/Apollo Creed boxing trunks and Phanatic birthday cards, the store has been an island for tourists and locals alike, offering a curated selection of handmade items made by local artists. The baby onesies, scented candles, greeting cards and pretzel earrings were all undeniably Philly. Onesies by Ana Thorne Credit: Kimberly Paynter / WHYYPhilly stickers for sale at Philadelphia In
