Shoe boutiques in New York

If you are shopping for new shoes, New York is the perfect destination.  Partially because real state is so expensive in NYC, there are fewer large department stores and more specialized boutiques.  Sure the city has Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Barney’s, Lord & Taylor, etc., but many other big stores do not venture into the city.

The city has many distinct sections that have trendy consumers as well as trendy boutique owners.  Sometimes finding a fascinating shoe boutique in New York is as simple as stepping into Soho, Greenwhich Village, Nolita, etc.

La Petite Boutique Hits the Road

La Petite Boutique, a small chic boutique located in Winthrop, MA is launching their new mobile fashion truck called 'La Petite Boutique - On the Go!' this summer. Owner Sarah Roth-Oosten will be hosting a launch party for the truck on Saturday June 27, 2015 at the store located in downtown Winthrop allowing customers to see both the new La Petite Boutique Fashion Truck and also the store.

The truck will be traveling to festivals and other events coming up in Winthrop, Boston and other areas of Massachusetts.

The purpose of the truck is to efficiently promote her store while traveling as well as to sell a selection of merchandise to different audiences. This will widen her customer base not only across Boston but also throughout the state and the Northeast. According to Sarah, the vision of this launch is, “A way for me to expand my business without setting up another physical location. This is like a second store which can go anywhere!"

The truck is a completely renovated FedEx truck with the store logo printed on the outside. The inside of the truck will be like walking into a smaller version of her store located in Winthrop but with a different decor. Kind of like a walk in closet on wheels.

Sarah plans on traveling this summer to markets, beaches and downtown Boston where she feels there will be a strong market for fashion. Expanding her customer base will intentionally persuade consumers to come to her physical boutique in Winthrop.

Apricot Lane Boutique Online

The Apricot Lane Boutique name has grown across the country being the go-to destination for mothers and daughters, (teens through fifties) to find trend setting, fashion forward clothing, shoes, accessories and gift items for affordable prices (think head to toe outfits for under $100) the locally owned stores constantly received requests for online purchases.

After a successful online sales pilot program ran by two Apricot Lane store owners (girls in their twenties) based in Peoria, IL and Dallas, TX increased their social media followers to over half a million 'likes' and followers in under a year -the franchisor realized a national online site needed to be the next move. After extensive design and build out of the site and the two original store owners staying on as operating partners of www.apricotlaneboutique.com it is now live for all fashion lovers to enjoy. 

From the hottest trends to the next must haves www.apricotlaneboutique.com updates the site with dozens of new items every single day- always offering a chance to find something new.

Apricot Lane Boutique has expanded the success of its bricks and mortar franchise system to online with the launch of the company’s new website, www.apricotlaneboutique.com. The online presence will continue to offer a unique boutique experience to its customers who will enjoy high fashion, on trend looks at affordable prices.

The Apricot Lane Boutique site features editorial looks, beautiful product and lifestyle images, a live chat and easy check out all while offering items that are not otherwise available in physical store locations throughout the country.

NATIONAL STYLE CONTRIBUTOR
Style expert, TV personality and author of The CheapChica's Guide to Style, Lilliana Vazquez has partnered with apricotlaneboutique.com to serve as their guest editor for Fall/Winter 2014. Known for her enviable style, Vazquez will curate her own boutique filled with hand-selected items that reflect her personal style and fashionable picks that are a must for any fashionista.

"I receive so many personal requests from women all over the country who want me to help them find the perfect outfit, and now I have the opportunity to do just that thanks to Apricot Lane," Vazquez explained.

SOCIAL MEDIA PAVING THE WAY

Apricot Lane was developed by franchisor Country Visions, Inc. who over the past several years, has supported a pilot program with two franchisee partners based in Peoria, IL and Dallas, TX. Through a Facebook sales presence created to build the consumer base, the team discovered substantial new sales resulting from e- commerce while social media numbers jumped drastically, soaring from 5,000 combined followers to over half a million in approximately a year. These two franchisees, owned by mother/daughter duos, will be managing partners of the new corporate online website. By embracing the ‘fast fashion’ culture of buying from Downtown Los Angeles, new merchandise will be showcased continuously online, creating a demand from the sites shoppers. All purchases from the new website will ship out of the distribution center in Peoria, IL.

“By offering personality, immediate comments and constant updates to our social media sites, we have built relationships with each and everyone of our followers; they feel like they know us,” explained Jena Green, co- owner of Apricot Lane Peoria.

Both operating partners Green along with Allison Scott and Lauren Young, sisters and co-owners of Apricot Lane Dallas have embraced the affinity their shoppers have to online communication. “Our clientele spends the majority of their time on their social media pages,” said Scott and Young “So we reacted to that and increased our sales online drastically by reaching out to them, creating and expanding our social media niche.”

Unlike other retailers, Apricot Lane updates their inventory arrivals constantly, often posting between 20 – 30 new items a day. When products are announced as out of stock, the team polls their fans as to their interest in the item and issues pre-buys for products, creating a demand before inventory is even in stock. This creates a continuous demand for products, increases interactions with customers and leaves them anticipating the next post.

“We have a unique relationship with our online customers” said Green. “We are personal shoppers for our guests, reacting to their requests and re-stocking items they create a demand for! We also poll our shoppers located all across the country by showing them items while Apricot Lane buyers are on the streets of LA’s fashion district, asking ‘Hot or Not?’ Watching the seasons hottest items fly off the “cyber-shelves” is incredible!”

LOCALIZED FRANCHISEE SUPPORT

To encourage a fully integrated marketing approach and system-wide franchise opportunity, Apricot Lane structured a unique profit-sharing model, which distributes 10% of total gross sales to participating franchisees. One unique upside for independent franchisees is the “no cost” opt-in with the corporate e-commerce program to participate. Sales are not limited to local zip codes, enabling franchisees to market to family, friends and customers who may not be located in their specific market, but still want to “shop local.”

“We worked hard to provide an e-commerce solution that builds the brand while providing our collective customers the best possible experience online,” said Ken Petersen, CEO and founder of Apricot Lane. “Our customers will enjoy a personalized online experience, while maintaining their relationship with their local boutique!”

ABOUT APRICOT LANE AND COUNTRY VISIONS, INC.

Apricot Lane is a member of the popular Country Visions, Inc. franchise, specializing in offering a high variety of fashion-forward styles, accessories and gift items at affordable prices. The franchise offers a new mix of merchandise both online and in-store, and offers customers the ability to build a unique style. Approaching system wide sales of $50 million and growing at a pace of 20-30 stores per year provides new resources and opportunities system wide that will keep Apricot Lane Boutique on top as a fashion trend leader and top retail franchise.

Junk Food Clothing Store Venice, CA

Junk Food Clothing Co. is proud to announce the opening of its flagship store in Venice, CA for spring 2014. On May 3rd, the 2,700 sq. ft. store opened its doors on renowned Abbot Kinney Boulevard, offering its iconic premium tees for men, women and children in one location. Junk Food Clothing Co.  also carries a variety of third party brands that complement its aesthetic, including Genetic Denim, McGuire, Baggu and Ralph Lauren to name a few.

"I'm really excited about the opportunity to bring the essence of Junk Food to life on Abbot Kinney. The core of our brand's DNA is to deconstruct iconic elements and inject a modern unique storyline for the consumer.   Adapting these design principles to a three dimensional space was the ultimate culmination of the evolution of the brand," says Mike Palermo, Creative Director of Junk Food Clothing Co.

Junk Food Clothing Co. sought to create a union of vintage iconic imagery, modern interpretation and surprise technological twists to paint the perfect picture in its first ever retail location.  Housed in a building from the early 1900's in a historically rich beach town, the design of the flagship space was created to reflect both the heritage of the location and the brand. A combination of natural wood tones paired with white plaster washed, antique brick walls create the feel of the quintessential modern beach house.  Mid-century modern fixtures add to the foundation of this idea as the overall muted palette juxtaposed with bright pops of color allow for the interesting lines and textures of the walls to accent the clothes.

The space, designed in partnership with Danny Gonzales (known for crafting interiors and displays for such brands as Ferragamo, Fendi, Cartier, Armani, and Bottega Veneta),  is divided in two sections: the main area in the front will highlight men's and women's apparel and accessories, while the rear section will focus on kids, bath and beauty, and eyewear in the main space.  On the opposite side of the room, handcrafted "abacus" racks suspended from the 15' ceilings with hand carved 6" beads float along the piping.  Custom lighting was created for most of the store with two pendent lights highlighting the cash wrap while Sputnik-inspired "spider web" lighting adorns the back. In the sitting area, Junk Food carried over their "abacus" idea creating glass-beaded pendants out of hand-blown glass beads silvered in stages to create a tri-tone effect. 

Junk Food President Jennifer Somer gave some insight to the company's decision to open a flagship at this point in time, stating, "This store represents the exciting next step in the evolution of the Junk Food brand.  Since it's inception, Junk Food has always evoked an aspirational lifestyle rooted in classic American references.  This store gives us the opportunity to bring the brand vision to life in its entirety."

Junk Food Clothing
1103 Abbot Kinney Blvd.
Venice, CA 90291

Other Brands Available at the store: Women's- Level 99, McGuire, Genetic, 27Miles, Item, Baggu, Chan Juu. Men's- Tellason, Deep Pocket, !Item. Kids- Ralph Lauren, Joes Jeans, Appaman, Nununu.

Potentially the Best Fashion Boutiques in New York

We are not claiming to know the best fashion boutiques in New York City.  The reality is that we have no clue about your personal taste preferences.  How could we possibly write a blog that indicates that we know the best in town?  Wouldn’t the best be subjective.  The reality is that Manhattan has tons of amazing retail options for the style savvy shopper.  We are not going to be dishonest and promise you the top 10, top 25 or top 100.  Below are a few resources to help “you” decided which are your favorites.  Go to the stores, and you decide.  By the way, after you review the stores, please let us know your opinions.  You can use the comment area at the bottom of this page to help others learn more about your preferred destinations.

Without a doubt, New York attracts some of the leading minds in fashion.  It is understandable, that many of these fashion mavens would open retail stores in this fine city. From Fifth Avenue to shop-centric SoHo, if a designer's clothes sell, they sell in the boutiques of New York City. 

If you are ready to explore options, let’s begin our journey. 

A few important destination:

First, let me give you a few of the obvious choices for finding designer fashion in New York.  Barney’s, Neiman Marcus, Lord & Taylor.  OK, let’s know move onto some of the smaller options.

From the day that Dor L Dor opened their doors on Nassau St. in New York City, it has received nothing but great reviews and droves of customers. When the owner had his original vision of opening up the boutique, he wondered how to set it apart from all the other chic shopping locations in the area.  Similar to many other new retail store owners he was anxious to see how the city would react to his taste in trends. Fortunately for him, everyone reacted better than expected!  Dor L Dor blossomed due to these values, and is currently open in three different locations; New York City, Hoboken, and Brooklyn. The fashion remains up-to-date with every season’s hottest trends for the young-minded yet classy. “You need to feel good leaving our store,” says the owner. From the clothing, accessories, and their prices, to the staff, Dor L Dor welcomes you to come on in, shop around, and leave with a smile!  After having your fill at Dor L Dor, head on over to the Mystique Boutique which is a women's clothing store with locations in New York's SOHO neighborhood. If you are feeling a bit lazy, you can get your fashion online which will be shipped directly from their SOHO store.  If you are broke in New York, you may want to shop there for reasonably price garments (not this may change).

DASH New York was the third of the DASH boutiques and offers more upscale New York fashions. If you watch the popular E! reality-TV series about Kim and Kourtney you know about DASH boutique.  If you are visiting NY or live here, you can stop by the shop and check it out.  Another place you may want to review would be Madonna and Co which is dedicated to putting the thrill back in shopping with apparel and accessories as unique as the woman who wears them.  Similarly, OAK a New York-based cutting edge retailer offering men's and women's designer clothing, shoes and accessories would be a place you definitely would want to explore if you have some free time.

Vivaldi Boutique one of New York City's top fashion boutiques and destination for women's designer clothes, Vivaldi Boutique is a treasure trove of fashion for special occasions.  Don’t forget to also visit Intermix which is a multi-brand fashion retailer with an assortment focusing on the most exciting fashion trends and the finest mix of emerging and established designers.

If you are shopping specifically for menswear, you may want to stop by at Odin in the East Village.  They are located at 328 E 11th St, but double check the address before visiting just to make sure I have listed that properly.  Apparel Search always tries to provide accurate information, but we are only human.  Odin features brands like Shipley Halmos, Rag & Bone, Trovata, as well as little known brands like Engineered Garmets and You Must Create

Addresses of Interest:

Note: if you plan on visiting any of these fine retailers, please double check the address just in case they have moved; that does happen on occasion.

Oh, what did you say.  You want even more of a selection.  Wow, you really are rambunctious today.  Seeing that you are not yet tired of reviewing stores, here are a few more that may wet your appetite for style.

Comptoir des Cotonniers

Rooted in an elegant South of France sensibility, Comptoir des Cotonniers turns out tunics, crisp pants, and trenches. It has an earthy vibe and is cut in a primarily neutral palette, with loads of special touches. Located at 155 Spring Street in SOHO

Daha Vintage

The emphasis here is on vintage footwear and handbags—'70s boots, perfectly ladylike '60s heels—though there are also multiple racks of similarly downtown-inflected blouses and dresses. 175 Orchard St. Les

Dunderdon

Started by a Swedish carpenter in 1997, this Goteborg-based collection has only three outposts across the globe. The New York store has the feel of a modern barn, which is the perfect counterpoint to its pared-down, workwear-inspired styles. 25 Howard St. SOHO dunderdon.com

Fille de Joie

Styled after a Parisian boudoir, this over-the-top spot—complete with Persian rugs and leopard-print ottomans—offers an exuberant selection of Christian Dior slips and sequined bed jackets. 197 Grand St. in Williamsburg.  Williamsburg is a neighborhood of 113,000 inhabitants in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, bordering Greenpoint to the north, Bedford–Stuyvesant to the south, Bushwick and Ridgewood, Queens to the east and the East River to the west.

Moon River Chattel

This long-standing shop feels like a relic from the early 1900s, since Moon River Chattel so successfully channels the vibe of an old-world general store. Its elegantly pared-down, low-tech versions of everyday items will have you clamoring to buy them all, whether it's a boar-bristled hairbrush, milk glass schoolhouse light, or a perfectly cast pharmacist's jar. 62 Grand St. Williamsburg

Pas de Deux

Men's boutique Odin burst onto the shopping scene in 2004, transforming the closets of legions of NYC guys overnight. Eddy Chai and Paul Birardi have a real vision for what's cool, and it's equal parts laid-back and tailored. When they turned their attention to women last September, they created a boudoir-like Alice in Wonderland space, where cubbies hold Loeffler Randall heels and stunning silk shifts from Wayne. Bonus: Den, two doors down, is an outlet for both stores. 328 E. 11th St. East Village.  The East Village is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, lying east of Greenwich Village, south of Gramercy and Stuyvesant Town, and north of the Lower East Side.  The area was once generally considered to be part of the Lower East Side, but began to develop its own identity and culture in the late 1960s, when many artists, musicians, students and hippies began to move into the area, attracted by cheap rents and the base of Beatniks who had lived there since the 1950s. The neighborhood has become a center of the counterculture in New York, and is known as the birthplace and historical home of many artistic movements, including punk rock and the Nuyorican literary movement.

The Reformation

The premise of this brand-new spot from designer Yael Aflalo is to turn dead-stock fabric into turn-of-the-century-esque pieces, such as silkcamisoles with lace-inset backs and simple chiffon jackets. The new line fits right in with the actual vintage items on the wrought-iron racks, like black slips that have been artfully reworked into dropwaist dresses. 143 Ludlow St. in the Lower East Side.

The Shop at Cooper-Hewitt

There's no shortage of excellent museum stores in New York, but we're inclined to put Cooper-Hewitt's at the top of our list. Run by a former product manager for New York's most inspiring home goods shop, Moss, it carries an expertly curated selection of modern design hits, all arranged in bright green cubes within a darkly glamorous vestibule of Andrew Carnegie's former mansion. Spindly candlesticks from Ted Muehling rest next to an array of coffee-table books and Rodarte necklaces.2 E. 91st St. in the Upper East Side cooperhewittshop.org

Stella Filante

Before opening their store, sisters Hasna and Leona Erziak were styling French celebrities and decorating homes in Marrakech. As you step into the shop—which sprung up only six months ago—both influences become immediately apparent. The walls are decorated with cutout Moorish motifs, and the items for sale are exactly what you would want to pack for St. Barths: Heavily embellished Antik Batik tunics and floral dresses from American Retro are highlights. 156 Ludlow St. in the Lower East Side of Manhattan stella-filante.com

Store 518, General & Fine

Designer Nadia Tarr (known for the Butter by Nadia dress) decided to open a shop in Carroll Gardens when her insatiable flea marketing got out of hand and she needed a repository for all the treasures she had mined over the years. It's easy to tell that she loves everything in the store, from pristine '50s Mexican dresses to blue enamel Victorian lockets. Her clothing line is also here, plus every conceivable kind of retro-packaged candy. 518 Court St. Carroll Gardens  store518.com  Just an FYI, Carroll Gardens is a neighborhood in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, USA.

Thistle & Clover

Though Rand Niederhoffer and Camilla Gale only graduated from college in 2005, their first retail adventure already has a standout reputation. Every piece feels special and handmade, since the twosome focus on affordable, under-represented lines like Dace and Wren. They even host a quarterly open call in search of the next big thing, where they look at labels that have yet to land their first store account. 221 DeKalb Ave. Fort Greene thistleclover.com  For those of you not aware, Fort Greene is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.

Shareen Vintage

The original Shareen occupies a gigantic warehouse in L.A., and though it only opened in 2006, it's quickly become the place in town to score affordable vintage. Owned by a former stylist, the selection at the New York store is slightly more pared down but just as spot-on, like perfectly turned out winter coats and printed shirtdresses.. 13 W. 17th Street, Second Fl.

Topshop

When this famed High Street retailer from the U.K. finally unveiled its three-floor emporium earlier this year, crowds lined up for days to get inside. The wealth of affordable, envelope-pushing items, from leather jackets to floral-print tube dresses, rarely disappoints.478 Broadway SOHO topshop.com

In God We Trust

What started as a small operation in 2005 has quickly grown into a mini boutique empire.

Blueberi

Occupying a refurbished industrial space, the globally infused Blueberi offers an eccentric array of items you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere—or at least hard-pressed to find sold together in one store. There are Karen Walker tunics painted with images of roosters, trade beads from Africa, bright patent belts, and Victorian-era hats. 143 Front St. DUMBO.  No, Dumbo is not a reference to the Disney elephant.  Dumbo, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.

There's a mix of vintage, plus the house line of interestingly cut ivory-hued vests and slouchy dresses. A slick second level hosts an array of home pieces, like lighting fixtures and stationery. 95 Rivington St. Lower East Side 212-673-3494

Début

Set up like an art gallery on an overlooked stretch of Mulberry Street, Début gives each item its own placard, detailing its designer and materials. As the name suggests, the emporium specializes in the sort of emerging talent that can't be found elsewhere. 298 Mulberry St. NoHo, debutnewyork.com  NoHo is not a mis-spelling of Soho.  NoHo, for North of Houston Street (as contrasted with SoHo, South of Houston) is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan.
