This skillfully curated Upper East Side boutique features the latest eccentric trends and designers. Despite the name, the boutique has only two floors, but each is packed with brightly colored clothes, home furnishings, distinctive jewelry, and shoes. Men can find seasonal attire, much of it with a preppy twist, such as DelToro’s famous mustachioed velvet slippers, patterned and classic suits and dress shirts, straw hats and limited edition Nike sneakers. For women there are brightly colored party dresses, stacked platform heels with daring designs, and an ornate collection of jewelry. A range of bold accessories are displayed together—vintage Hermès, Maison Michel and then jewelry from newer designers like Dannijo are all featured side by side. While some of the wares veer into rarified world of haute fashion, playful pieces like Olympia Le-Tan’s unusual handbags, which are cleverly disguised as classic novels, and cuffs that look like skeleton hands and bugs, keep shoppers feeling like they’re in on the joke. — Nina Frazier, NY Mag
