Roman & Leo is the only all-boys boutique in the Midwest, providing on-trend apparel and accessories for little guys! Our store opened four and a half years ago, when we saw a need for cool clothes for boys in our area! With so many stores catering to girls, and being a boy-mom myself, I knew I wanted to bring the unique and trendy styles that I was purchasing for my kids online, to Indiana!
