at the intersection of fashion, art, and travel

Arcadia Boutique is Philadelphia's eco-fashion boutique and lifestyle destination located in the heart of Northern Liberties. We offer a place for the independent-minded to find fabulous and orginal, yet affordable fashion from emerging and eco-friendly designers and artists from Philadelphia and around the world. Boutique owner, Ali McCloud, offers a welcoming, eclectic haven for the individual who loves fashion, art, craft, music, and travel but also hopes to minimize their impact on our environment and support emerging design talent. In addition to offering a distinctive selection of new fashion brands, Arcadia features the best sustainable fashion brands so customers can embrace green lifestyle alternatives without sacrficing style.

Arcadia is now offering a small selection of men's apparel and green baby items so our customers can find green alternatives for the men and children in their lives. Arcadia's lifestyle offerings include eco-minded home decor items, soy candles, lotions, and artwork for sale from local and national artists. Our in-house travel consultant is available to provide information on eco-tourism and international travel destinations. Visit our Away@Arcadia section for information on Arcadia's group trips that take customers and friends on socially responsible adventures around the world.

Arcadia loves to throw a party! We host all kinds of events throughout the year including art openings, trunk shows, and fashion shows. Sign up for our monthly newsletter for updates on events, latest fashion trends and style tips. Every 6-8 weeks our Art@Arcadia gallery wall features a new local or emerging artist which we kick off with our 2nd Thursday artist receptions.

Don't forget - we now offer e-commerce. Browse our online shop to see what is new at Arcadia.

about ali

Shop owner, Ali McCloud, spent several years living and working in Manhattan, building a career in sales and marketing. A few years ago, determined to persue a dream, Ali broke free from the corporate world to begin a Graduate program in Global Fashion Management at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. While finishing her Master's degree, Ali worked in the fashion industry for luxury Italian fashion brands including Just Cavalli, Galliano, and Malo and assisting with public relations work for independent fashion and lifestyle brands.

In addition to her love of fashion, Ali always makes time to explore new places and cultures. She seizes any opportunity to travel the world for both work and play, browsing boutiques, flea markets, and craft fairs that inspire Arcadia's merchandise. After completing her final graduate project on sustainable fashion, Ali is on a mission to suppport eco-friendly brands.

Ali returned to her hometown just over a year ago with a desire to create an earth-friendly style sanctuary in Philly, and Arcadia was born. She is excited to be party of the continued growth of Northern Liberties and the eco-fashion movement.

Every 6-8 weeks Arcadia features new work from local and national artists. We've had some amazing solo and group exhbitions so far. We've had art for sale starting at $50 and all work is under $1000. Stop in and check out our art wall, we hope you find something you love! If you are interested in showing work at Arcadia email our curator, Lis.

"Art@Arcadia is about working with fine emerging and establisehd artists who understand & support the notion that art is an integral part of the way we live. The art & fashion we choose to live with are reflections of who we are and who we want to be. Art@Arcadia is affordable and eclectic. It is fashion / art fusion!" - Lis Kalogris, Curator

A portion of the proceeds of art sales is donated to the KatherineAlexandra Charitable Foundation whose mission is to promote and advance the arts, healing, freedom of expression and education.

Our current exhbition is:
