I have been the co-owner and apparel buyer at Skinny Raven for the past 7 years. We are now an all-female buying staff and managers. We are currently enjoying many women-owned small business brands for apparel and accessories. Skinny Raven loves collaborating with our Vendor Partners and expanding education and opportunties to make Run Specialty the best it can be. Providing core running apparel, shoes, and accessories is important. However, we think that addding something fun and unexpected for our customers is equally pertinent- that’s my goal as a buyer. Being raised in Alaska has afforded a special opportunity to understand and embrace our community.
