Profile

About 80 percent of the items for sale here are European, with an emphasis on fashions such as Boudicca from London and Bless and Maison Martin Margiela from Paris. Also in stock are two New York–based designers, A Detacher and Sunshine & Shadow. Customers come back again and again for Schiesser underwear, made from the thinnest pima cotton, and art nerds love the German Kaweco fountain pens. But perhaps most intriguing are the vintage finds, such as never-worn fifties Romika tennis sneakers discovered in the attic of a West Berlin tennis center; an Alex Moulton bicycle; and the store exclusives, such as delicate gold rings that would make perfect wedding bands for design freaks.

This was such an unexpected find---off the beaten path in that no-mans land between LES and Chinatown. I love the small, design details of all of the clothing here. Very subtle and often pretty funny. The staff is super helpful as well. They keep a lot of the stock tucked away in the back and will bring it out for you once they have an idea of what you like.

Excellent, eclectic selection

The clothing equivalent to the Kiosk store in Soho (with better service). The clothes here are truly unusual and beautifully made --- if you snag something here, you won't see yourself coming and going on the street, that's for sure! The non-clothes choices are equally unique: a few pieces of intriguing jewelry, notebooks, etc. I'm still kicking myself for not getting the gorgeous handcrafted still... yes, as in distilling. The staff is friendly and low-key, happy to tell the stories behind the goods.
