a Day in the Life of Shop Gotham: Uniglo and +J – steal the show

Marla — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 20:59:41 +0000

So… we at Shop Gotham recently took some major fashion magazine editors shopping. Would love to drop names but alas, cannot. Suffice it to say, these stylin’ gals have seen it all and then some. They had just come from the top 2010 fashion “shows” in Bryant Park, have been courted directly by all important designers and likely over time received plentiful freebies. So we hit some of the uberfab independents in NYC. Yes, they loved Kirna Zabete, Deco Jewels, and Opening Ceremony. But where did they drop their $?? At UNIGLO!!! They were pumped up about the new + J line (Jil Sander), specifically the black jackets in 3 lengths, which are oh so Prada reminiscent, but a mere $79- $99. Who would have thunk? www.shopgotham.com

Catch the Sample Sale Wave

Marla — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:17:10 +0000

Do the names Lewis Cho, Walter and Rachel Leigh make your knees weak? Good news is that high quality NYC sample sales are now year round (where once they were seasonal). We can thank a difficult economy for this. These and other “scores” can be had THIS week on our Garment Center “Insider” shopping tours. http://www.shopgotham.com/daily-new-york-shopping-tours.php

Shop Gotham Hits the Road!

Marla — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 21:33:43 +0000

New York City will always be our first love, but here are some stores across America that have knocked us off our Jimmy Choos…

1. Pangea (Nashville, TN; www.pangeanashville.com) Located alongside the Vanderbilt University campus, this eclectic shop is a feast for the eye as well as the pocketbook. Shoppers will find temptation around every corner, from indie-label rompers to kitsch folk art to a variety of naughty cards and buttons. Expect a sniff or two from one of the store owner’s adorable dogs while killing time in the best way possible.

2. Candy Baron (Laguna Beach, CA; www.thecandybaron.com) This sunny beach town is home to a candy store that brings out the kid in all of us. Check your self-control at the door and indulge in barrel after barrel of classic penny candies that remind you of summer days at camp. Their selection includes sugar-free, international and hard-to-find concoctions meant to satisfy your sweet tooth for days to come.

3. Hey Daisy (Appleton, WI; www.heydaisy.com) This unexpected gem of a boutique breathes life onto East College Avenue in Appleton. The shopper who ducks into Hey Daisy will find a well-edited selection of jeans, tee shirts and dresses at terrific prices. The last-minute “impulse” buys located next to the cash register are particularly tempting.

4. American Rag (Newport Beach, CA; amrag.com) American Rag’s “classidelic” look has a loyal following on the West Coast. Their vintage-inspired men and womenswear manages to be both timeless and boundary-pushing all at the same time. Make time for lunch, as their in-store café offers the best salad selection west of Paris. Then walk out with bags full of head-turning and envy-inspiring fashion. You won’t regret it.

Garment Center Shopping Tour Review

Marla — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:26:47 +0000

A shoppers delight (domestic visitor): Rating: 5 stars

“Myself [ 54 ] , daughter [ 24 ] and daughter-in-law took the shopping tour in the garment district. After spending 4 days shopping, we were’nt very excited to go on a shopping tour! But what a successful trip it was! Our guide was awesome and had loads of information, including suggesting some places to go after in other areas. We went to six very different designer showrooms.which had a varied selection of products and each of us found lots of things. I would reccomend it!.” www.shopgotham.com
