As an artist at heart, Allie also creates and sells some of her own designs, but emphasises that her role is more of an ambassador to the world, bringing the designs and handiwork of artists around the globe to Pittsburgh. “I’ve been in Pittsburgh for more than 20 years and have been finding designers with something unique to offer my entire career,” Allie said. “And, for all of the time I’ve been here, ‘grateful’ is the word I would use to describe my feelings about it. I am extremely grateful to each and every customer who comes through my door, as well as all of the designers who have created so many brilliant works for my customers.” More than just a retail boutique, Allie’s International Design is a destination for savvy shoppers, where shopping is more like leisure than work.
