Colette
After walking through Colette, you will see every store that you thought was cool before under a new light. There is cool, and then there is "we sell our own mix CDs and our own water" cool. Colette is a store like no other. It sells a little bit of everything, but nothing in particular. There are CDs, gadgets, jewelry, books and clothing, anything the patrons deem worthy to be sold at the time. The clothing comes from both well-established and new designers (as long as it's hip and edgy). Many of the random items for sale are limited editions made just for Colette, with lots of collaborations with artists and trés hip design companies. Walk in on any given day and you are assured of a few things: 1) You'll see the most random collection of items ever collected under one store-roof. 2) You'll have trouble figuring out what some of these items actually are. 3) You'll find something you simply have to have.
