Abercrombie graduates can head to Ruehl, the company’s more mature brand (370 Bleecker St., nr. Charles St.; 212-924-8506) for vintage-inspired handbags and small leather goods for women and men (the store stocks accessories only). In jeans news, Chip & Pepper (250 Mulberry St., nr. Prince St.; 212-343-4220) recently took over the old Levi’s Selvedge store with its own stylishly worn-in denim. (Also on hand is a collection of knitwear and outerwear.) And AG Adriano Goldschmied (111 Greene St., nr. Prince St.; 212-819-0980) has a coffee bar and a sewing machine for minor alterations while you wait.
