DETROIT – If you’re looking for accessories that are made from uncycled automotive material, Pingree Detroit is opening its first store in downtown Detroit. The store, which is set to open on Nov. 11 and will be located at 22 W. Columbia St. (the pedestrian-only street near the Fox Theatre), will offer shoes, bags and accessories. It also will have a street-viewable workshop where customers can watch products being made on certain days. Pingree Detroit will hold a grand opening event at its new store at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11. Pingree Detroit joins a list of growing retailers that are popping up in downtown Detroit. Alo Yoga which sells women’s and men’s athletic and athleisure apparel, became the first retail tenant at Hudson’s Detroit. Teacovas, a Texas-based retailer of cowboy boots and Western clothing, also recently opened at Hudson’s Detroit. The company’s factory is on Livernois Avenue on Detroit’s west side. Products range in price from about $4.99 for shoelaces to $349 for a made-to-order travel tote. Pingree Detroit said it has diverted more than 55,000 pounds of leather, vinyl and seat belts from landfills.
