Flaunt Brings Hip Styles to Classic Country Charm
Located on Main Street in the lovely Village of Erin, Flaunt is a fine balance between style, age and price. “Traveling the globe gives us a great opportunity to study the fashion trends and buy with confidence. What you’ll be wearing from Flaunt will make you feel sexy, fun and chic.”
Flaunt buys from such fashion houses as Ben Sherman from England who delivers a great casual line that is reminiscent of Oxford days. Soia & Kyo are jackets from Montreal and are such great designs they are not just for cover up but also become part of the outfit. Flaunt travels directly to Paris and New York to purchase unique items that you won’t find in other shops. It’s absolutely worth the drive to Erin!
