It's a telling sign of Savannah's increasing emergence into a design and shopping hub that its bustling shopping strip, West Broughton Street, is home to a Marc Jacobs store (322 W. Broughton St., 912-234-2800) - most of the edgy designer and gay-rights supporter's swank boutiques are in much larger cities. Here at this airy, two-room shop, you'll find the boldly designed women's and men's clothing bags, shoes, and accessories (plus those colorful pro-gay equality T-shirts) for which Jacobs is known.
