Just your style
Do you have your Halloween costume picked out yet? Need those last few pieces to make your outfit pop? Looking for unique decor to wow your party guests?
You know what you need to do….Head to Cappel’s!
Join us as we drop in at Cappel’s Annex in Downtown Cincinnati for the 411 on this year’s popular costumes, must-have decorations (including some very cool vintage reproductions!), and items you wouldn’t think you needed (but will probably leave with!).
There’s something comforting about walking down the aisles at Cappel’s Annex in Downtown Cincinnati.
Maybe it’s the fact that the shop has been here for decades, or the array of offerings in front of you - from modern to vintage reproductions. There’s a no-fuss feel here. Walk in, browse, and take your time.
“You can’t do that online. Here, you can come, you can see it, feel it, and buy whatever you’re looking for, the prices we have (these products for) are very competitive versus what we’re seeing online,” says Ray Cappel, owner.
Each year, there’s a “must-have” costume. This year, Cappel says it’s a mixed-bag.
“Guys are always looking to do things that are easy and fun. Ladies are looking for appealing costumes. And we have all that,” he says. “Another thing we have…so.many.accessories – Hundreds of styles of wigs, hats, eyeglasses, and all these different accessories that when you’re going to a party will make you look different!”
Of course, now is the time to grab that costume and your accessories. Cappel says their busy times kick off this weekend and will run through the first week of November.
Ray began working with his father, William Cappel, when he was still a young boy and has more than 50 years of experience in the retail industry. His wife, Stef completed a doctorate in education and later joined him in the family business.
In 1990, Ray and his cousin, Rich, bought Cappel’s Display from their dads, at which time they officially changed the name to Cappel’s Inc. The cousins successfully adapted to the changing party needs of the community. Cappel’s continues to evolve in retail, wholesale, and internet commerce.
