Description

When we heard that one of our favorite indie boutiques was opening a third location in Williamsburg to join its men’s and women’s Greenpoint shops, we could hardly contain our glee—no more waiting for the G train! With the arrival of this unisex locale, we now have easier access to our favorite brands including MinkPink, Kill City and Mary Meyer. In addition to such effortlessly cool styles at nice price points ($5–$300), owners Roy Caires and Tommy Cole will carry exclusive pieces like Osborn for Alter African-print oxford shoes ($149), which are handmade in Guatemala from vintage fabrics. We’re craving Cheap Monday striped sweaters ($80), ultra-durable field jackets from original U.S. military supplier Spiewak ($220) and Comune Dean men’s jackets ($210) that will keep you warm without the dreaded marshmallow-man effect.
