Pioneering the concept of 'upcycling,' this is the place for unique gifts, art, jewelry and
clothes made from reused materials. It has a great local feel and lots of one-of-a-kind ac-
cessories for women. The card selection is hilarious.

you through it all. The Western school of herbal thought dominates the thinkspace here.

marijuana!

Es-
tablished in 1914 and still Boulder's leading denim resource, this store is damn near
warehouse-sized, with all manner of stressed, smooth and relaxed denim. It also carries
the odd top-end designer label such as Southern California fave Free People.
Beat Book Shop

Tom Peters is the poet pro-
prietor of this funky pile of consistently brainy, soulful books. We're talking more than 30
Kerouac titles, as well as classics from Ginsberg, Burroughs and (Beat-esque) Bukowski,
among others. His hours vary but Peters claims to be here from afternoon into the night
daily. Well worth a browse.
