Affordable, High Fashion Boutique Launching in OTR Retail District

Bobbles & Lace to Celebrate Official Grand Opening This Weekend

CINCINNATI (May 14, 2025) – Owner Amanda Logan-Athmer will commemorate the official launch of women’s clothing boutique Bobbles & Lace with a public ribbon cutting ceremony tomorrow at 11AM, followed by the official grand opening on Saturday. Logan-Athmer is leasing the 1,240-square-foot space, located at 1209 Vine Street, from Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC). The boutique is known for being a fresh, chic destination for women looking for high style without the high price tag.

From denim to dresses and jumpsuits to jewelry, Bobbles and Lace offers everything from basics to formalwear. The fashion forward retailer is committed to creating a unique and personalized shopping experience while celebrating and empowering an inclusive community where every woman can feel confident and beautiful.

“Our goal is to change the shopping experience for women and bring back the fun and celebration,” Logan-Athmer said. “We find joy in transforming how women feel about their clothes and can’t wait to share Bobbles & Lace with everyone.”

In addition to being woman-owned, Bobbles & Lace is also fully staffed by women, including four stylists who offer complimentary, personal styling sessions to all shoppers. The individualized experience allows them to build lasting relationships with their clients while catering to their personal style preferences.

“3CDC remains purposeful about bringing women-owned businesses to our street level commercial spaces, supporting them, promoting their work and advocating for their growth however we can,” said Christy Samad, Executive Vice President of Civic & Commercial Space Activation for 3CDC. “Over 50% of 3CDC’s leased first-floor commercial spaces in OTR are woman-owned, which is a testament to the organization’s commitment to this effort, to the ingenuity and creative of the entrepreneurs opening small businesses, and to the continued growth of Over-the-Rhine as a destination for unique and high-quality retail shops.”

Following tomorrow’s ribbon cutting ceremony, Bobbles & Lace will celebrate its official grand opening with a sip-and-shop event Saturday from 11AM to 7PM including live music by Nicole Polara, complimentary sips & snacks, free style consultations and more. After the grand opening, the store will be open daily from 11AM to 7PM. For additional information, follow Bobbles & Lace on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/bobblesandlacecincinnati/.
