Nolita, New York Shopping Guide

A map some of the coolest independent shops in Nolita, New York.

Lord Willy's

At Lord Willy's wearing a suit and tie is more an avenue for expression than a symbol of corporate conformity. Combining expert British tailoring with one-of-a-kind suitings and shirtings, the...

The Good The Bad and The Ugly

The Good The Bad and The Ugly seems more a nod to the fashion of the times (the spaghetti western released in 1967) than to the content of the store. The store, stocked primarily with their own...

Unis

If there's anything we can learn from Unis, it's to respect the fundamentals, the classics. Whatever the trends of the season, Unis produces a collection of men's clothing with the...

Area ID

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/area_id_1_web.jpg

Area ID is the vintage furniture store to visit if you think "mid-century modern" furniture is code for "Danish teak" or "designed by Ray and Charles Eames." The shop takes a delightfully broader view of the wonderful furniture that was produced in the mid-twentieth century. While a selection of Danish teak tables, plastic molded chairs and chrome lamps are...

Barker Black

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/barker_black_1_web.jpg

What do you get when you cross a traditional, centuries old British men's footwear company with punk rock styling. Barker Black is what. For its line of leather loafers, wingtips and oxfords, the company combines fine leathers and immaculate construction with subtle and sometimes not so subtle skull and cross bones (the company's logo) hardware and imprints. If you don't quite...

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/blue_bag_1_web.jpg

A country cottage overcome with handbags, purses and carry-alls, Blue Bags looks like a scene from the cult classic "When Handbags Attack!". Hanging and resting all over the store's rustic setting are bags of all shapes, sizes and colors. The colors tend to be bold: fuchsia, turquoise, and lime green are not common. The sizes vary from small clutches to spacious beach bags. The...

Capitol Furnishings

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/capitol_furnishings_1_web.jpg

If "antique furnishings" recall images of your grandmother's dresser, you'll want to visit Capitol Furnishings for a new perspective. The shop collects antique and vintage furniture, lighting and accessories that are anything but staid or conservative. The pieces are drawn from 19th and 20th century work and each will make a bold, dramatic statement in your home. Mirrored...

Classickicks

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/classickicks_1_web.jpg

Somewhere between the ultra-exclusive, line-down-the-block sneaker shops and your generic mall/department store selection, lies Classickicks. The selection of cool, colorful sneakers from manufacturers massive and emerging is unique but not so limited as to require waiting in line overnight. "Classic" refers to the fact that many models are reincarnation of decades old designs.

Coclico

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/coclico_1_web.jpg

Stylish women's shoes aren't all dangerously high heels, and wispy, strappy sandals. Coclico, with shoes under its own label and that of a handful of like-minded brands, presents and a more natural, organic (not to mention more comfortable) take on women's shoes. There's not a patent leather heel or a silver sandal in sight. There are dozens of shoes combining soft leathers...

Daily 235

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/daily_235_1_web.jpg

"We can go inside, but you have to promise not to touch anything!" we heard a mother warn her young son before she led him inside Daily 235. We're not sure how the poor kid faired but he sure failed the test inside the crazy, Wonka-esque fantasyland. The primary color loving store is an eclectic collection of colorful toys, trinkets and candies. A typical sampling includes:...

Combine fine European suitings and shirtings with some hints of funky, fun American style and we get Duncan Quinn. The shop offers the hallmark service of any European tailor--bespoke suits carefully crafted from a variety of luxurious fabrics--but the atmosphere and accompanying clothing is decidedly less stuffy and traditional. Those without the funds for such an indulgence will still want to...

EVA

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/eva_1_web.jpg

When we think of EVA the first word that comes to mind is well-balanced. The mix of clothing and accessories is half well-established, avant-garde designers and half emerging upstarts. The clothing is challenging--not your usual casual fare--but also not so out there as to feel unwearable. The prices are up there, but no so high as to make an occasional splurge impossible. Balance can be a...

Want to attract men to your shop? A classic sportscar near the window will help (either a Lotus or Ferrari will do). Want to keep their attention? Put in a long rack of hip, high-quality dress shirts, a shelf of sweaters and accessories and pristine Italian and English leather shoes. That's the strategy of Groupe 16 Sur 20.

With labels like these, who wouldn't heart New York? I Heart is what good New York shopping is all about, namely a collection of cutting-edge designers that you're just not going to see put together in any other city. Follow the discrete neon sign (well, as discrete as neon can get) down the stairs into an airy, inspiring space full of arty, often avant-garde clothing and...

Le Labo

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/le_labo_1_web.jpg

Le Labo certainly looks like a lab, but it's not all smoke and mirrors. The boutique perfumer operates like one as well, mixing one of its ten scents on the spot. The idea is to ensure maximum freshness and focus on the quality of the raw ingredients rather than spending money on fancy packaging or multi-million dollar marketing campaigns.

At Lord Willy's wearing a suit and tie is more an avenue for expression than a symbol of corporate conformity. Combining expert British tailoring with one-of-a-kind suitings and shirtings, the Lord Willy's look is both formal and fun at the same time. While the shop specializes on custom tailored suits and shirts, casual shoppers can drop in to look through the selection of ready to...

Lunettes et Chocolat

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/lunettes_et_chocolat_1_web.jpg

Lunettes et Chocolat is the kind of store that results when you throw retailing rules out the door and go with your gut. The store combines the chic, glamorous sunglasses and frames by Selima Optique with decadent hot chocolate, truffles and other sweets. Why? We're not really sure, but it works. The chocolate is wonderful, the glasses are fabulous and the idea is, well, an only in New...

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/min_k_nolita_1_web.jpg

While it may seem that all roads to Asian fashion go through Tokyo, Min-K makes a strong case for Seoul. The women's clothing shop combines separates and dresses from Korea's finest designers with designs from its own line. Dresses come in vintage silhouettes and happy prints, skirts are short and pleated, halter and tube tops come in rich fabrics and rainbow stripes. Min-K is proof...

Sample

It's rare to walk into a store, especially one as simple as Sample, and want one of everything. It's even more rare in the case of a store such as Sample, that carries a few simple items in multiple colors. When we walked the amazing collection of cashmere sweaters caught out eye--so much so that we considered breaking our cardinal rule of never owning more than one of anything....

The Good The Bad and The Ugly

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/new_york/the_good_the_bad_and_the_ugly_1_web.jpg

The Good The Bad and The Ugly seems more a nod to the fashion of the times (the spaghetti western released in 1967) than to the content of the store. The store, stocked primarily with their own clothing and accessories labels, takes cues from decades past, adding a dash of modern sensibility to create a dizzying array of sexy, sultry pieces. Shop nylon knee-highs, re-imagined mule designs...

If there's anything we can learn from Unis, it's to respect the fundamentals, the classics. Whatever the trends of the season, Unis produces a collection of men's clothing with the quality construction and understated style to be wearable years later. Name the classics and Unis has done its version: the black 3-button suit, the trench coat, the 5-pocket jean, the blue dress shirt.
