11 Christopher St., nr. Sixth Ave. 212-620-5430
All Scandinavia, all the time. But at this airy store, that doesn’t mean a relentless onslaught of everything Marimekko; Hus is the kind of place that inevitably has something delightful and not that expensive for the home or the closet (or the last-minute birthday party).

You can also get Filippa K. dresses, Tiger of Sweden’s cool sportswear, J. Lindeberg sweaters for men, and Tretorn’s excellent rain boots for both genders, plus clever, whimsical kids’ toys.
