Profile

Since opening in 2007, this flagship has provided a relaxed retail sanctuary for Lim fans weary of hunting for his designs at crowded department stores or out-of-the-way boutiques. The understated white-plaster walls and cast-iron railings here echo the California native’s laid-back-yet-elegant aesthetic. Double-breasted coats and strapless dresses casually hit above the knee, while basic navy trousers and knit turtlenecks are cut from luxe cashmere and wool mohair fabrics. Lim’s forte is in the understated details—headbands splashed with Swarovski crystals, shift dresses adorned with pearls, and shorts pressed with rolled hemlines. Accessories include shoes, belts, handbags, and eyewear, as well as seasonal runway jewelry and in-store exclusive items like cashmere travel blankets and eye masks. And the bi-level boutique also showcases his more recent pursuits, like the Kid by Phillip Lim children's line and the organic Go Green Go collection.

Firsts off, I want to say that I absolutely love Phillip Lim's clothing and will try to be unbaised.. The store has all the merchandise hanging on racks with choice accessories on a display table. There is also a little tiny lower level that is probably rarely perused. It is at the back of the store so dont be afraid to go down the stairs, I was for awhile! The store stocks womens, mens and accessories. I've been in there quite a few times, there is this french chick with glasses who is friendly with me, but i think that is because im in all the time. There is also an asian/filipino sales woman who isnt eager to help and then there is another blonde pixie cut sales associate who isnt all that eager either. overall, if you are there to just browse you probably won't hear to many words said in your direction but if you are there to buy they eventually notice and ask to set up a room for you. You now know more than you probably ever would know about the mercer street store. Enjoy.
