Hi! Thanks for joining us here. We're the Smarr's, well and now the Smarr's, Pingel's & Arend's family. Mel & Charlotte have been in the construction industry since the 80's here in Columbia. Riley & Morgan are their daughters who grew up fully immersed in all things business with their parents running several local businesses. We saw a huge missing market for more "modern" western fashion here in Columbia, and often found ourselves driving to neighboring cities to shop for upcoming concerts or just daily apparel. After several years of thinking it would be a good idea one day, Fringe Boutique opened in downtown Columbia in early 2017. While downtown we only carried women's apparel and boots. We kept hearing how men wanted a place to shop, too. We decided to expand in 2020, and closed Fringe Boutique downtown during the summer of 2021, and quickly opened Fringe Western Wear to provide a shopping experience for the entire family. We're so glad you're here and hope you'll stop in to say hi one day.
