Shoestring budget

Mother-and-daughter duo Danni Palmore and Erika Jones used to send postcards to announce their upcoming discount designer clothing sales. People would flock to various hotel meeting rooms for the week-or-two-long events.
During the weeks between Savvy on a Shoestring sales, as they came to be called, the clothes that didn’t sell were put in storage.
That’s no longer necessary, since the traveling sale has settled permanently in the Short North. Palmore and Jones opened Savvy on a Shoestring in mid-November after two and a half years of hotel sales.
But besides the location, not much has changed. The pair still brings in off-season designer merchandise — now more of it — from outlets and friends in Los Angeles, New York, Milan and Paris.
