SoHo
Knickerbocker
"Ran into this store on accident and ended up really loving it. A great collection of quality made clothing. Many of their items have a classic, timeless style, but it's still got a slight flair to it that keeps it from being boring. It is definitely on the pricey side, but from the reviews I see, people seem to be really happy with the quality and fit of the clothing."

"Love this store. They make their own fragrances and also sell some from other niche brands as well. Great place to go find a new fragrance. They have candles and lotions as well."
Upper East Side

You can tell they are passionate about fashion and love talking about all the unique pieces in the store. I'll definitely be back."
