WorcesterScene.com has always been a big fan of Tush: A Denim Boutique, one of the first stores of it’s kind to come to Worcester. It was announced today that Tush is leaving the hands of Deb and Shannon after being sold to Leigha Hervey (clothing designer) who will continue the dedication to designer fashions—and add her own flare to the boutique, such as her own designs and on-site custom alterations!
Look for great things to come from Tush over the next few months while Leigha’s transition takes place!
A note from Deb Covino:
Dear Tush Shoppers,
I would like to take this opportunity to announce the sale of Tush to Leigha Hervey. Leigha is a young and talented clothing designer, who plans to continue to run Tush as a designer denim boutique. Leigha also plans to incorporate some of her own designs into the store (which are stunning!), as well as to offer onsite custom alterations (yeah!). She brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the store, and I am very confident in her ability to successfully operate it. I truly foresee a great future for Tush (and all of us who love to shop there!).
I’d like to thank all of you for your support and patronage over the past two years. Both Shannon and I put our heart and soul into the opening of Tush, and we leave it with a lot of great memories and a lot of pride. Though there is always sadness in leaving, it’s gratifying to know that Tush will continue to run, and hopefully grow, under Leigha’s ownership. We will be doing our best to help Leigha over the next several months in any way that we can, and look optimistically forward to the future.
I will still be available by email at Deb@tushdenim.com for a fair amount of time, if you have any comments or concerns that I can assist you with.
I genuinely hope that you continue to show Tush the support that you have over the past two years, and again, I thank you all very much.Sincerely,
Deb Covino

Happen to notice this on the web…Dr. Gonzo’s Uncommon Condiments Emporium, 122 Main Street, Worcester, is having a interesting, casual and “uncommon” gathering Sunday, May 31. Billed as a BYO Dip / Canape party, the good Doctor is asking everyone to bring their favorite dip made from Dr. Gonzo condiments to share. This should be interesting as the condiments sold at this shop add a kick to any meal and if you have never tried them, you are in for a real treat. Besides the food, some of Worcester’s most interesting people are regular visitors and it is the type of spot where a music jam could break out at any time. If you can’t get there this Sunday, make sure you put Dr. Gonzo’s Uncommon Condiment Emporium on your list of stops soon and pick up something to add to your summer grilling menu. Trust us, after you have used them once, they will become a staple in everything you cook!
Here is an interesting idea…PunkyStyle.com is teaming up with The Nostalgia Exchange to host, what they are billing as, Worcester’s Largest Clothing Swap on May 30th, 11:00am-4:00pm in the Canal District. Swappers will bring a bag of clothes, shoes or other accessories and then “swap” for other items. There is no cash exchanged. If you don’t bring clothes, you can buy a reusable bag and fill it up for $10 with proceeds going to charity. Canal District retailers and restaurants will be open with some offering great discounts and specials that day. Any clothes left at the end of the day will be donated to local charity. If nothing else, sounds like a great day to walk in the Canal District, have nice lunch and enjoy the sites!
It is that time of year again, the Holiday’s are upon us and for the next few weeks it will be a fast and furious race to the Holiday finish line. Good thing the City of Worcester has so many ways to enjoy this magical time of year. Don’t let all the bad news you see on TV get you down…go out and shop in a City filled with great new shopping experiences just waiting to be discovered! Forget about fighting the crowds and traffic at the mall, Worcester (and the surrounding area) has some very unique shopping boutiques that would greatly appreciate your support.
First off, there is Tush, a very special denim boutique on Green Street. If you haven’t been there yet, you need to see this store. They carry all the brands today’s trendy shopper would want along with shoes and accessories to complete a new outfit. Next, Shrewsbury Street isn’t just about food anymore, check out Rio and Company for something with a more stylish European or sexy South American feel. And while you are on Shrewsbury Street go to Spoil’d where you will find a more relaxed yet still very stylish look.
If you are not looking for clothes, Worcester offers a wide variety of arts and crafts outlets to choose from. Of course, there is the Worcester Art Museum Gift Store. Here you’ll find items inspired by their collection and collections around the world. Next, The Worcester Center for Crafts on Sagamore Street has a variety of gifts and artwork on sale by their members. And finally, Vaillancourt Folk Art in Sutton is the leading creator of holiday collectibles in America. This magnificently decorated gallery is a unique shopping experience that will be enjoyed by the entire family.
Other specialty stores include Victory Cigar and The Owl Shop for cigars, Dzian and Davis Galleries for art, Neal Rosenblum for jewelery and so many more we can’t list them all.
No matter what you need this holiday season, Worcester has it so get out and enjoy our City, support our merchants and have fun!
