The best shops in Little Italy and Nolita

Seamstress-turned-jewelry-designer Erica Weiner sells her own bronze, brass, silver and gold creations alongside vintage and reworked baubles in her first-ever, eponymous boutique. Weiner combs estate sales and New England auction houses to line the shelves of her cozy shop with antique engagement rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets, all of which have unique stories behind them. Her wares are often casts or modified versions of old objects, such as 1930s cocktail stirrers from the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel that she fashioned into polished brass necklaces ($85). Even better, much of Weiner’s jewelry can be scooped up for less than $100.

Lori Leven, owner of sister tattoo parlors New York Adorned (one located in the LES and the other in Williamsburg), has expanded her brand to include a new jewelry haven: Love, Adorned. The third spin-off chainlet houses a treasure trove of baubles, home goods and trinkets. Though splurges such as Jeeyun Ha dainty gold-chain necklaces accented with feathers ($380) are scene-stealers, cheap thrills like Alyssa Ettinger porcelain milk bottles ($40–$70) make us equally giddy.

The Canadian brand that built a following on comfy-as-hell sweats has put down roots at a 600-square-foot storefront in Nolita. Step inside the concept shop—the store plans to rotate new collections and one-off collabs on the reg—and you’ll feel like you’re glamping (that’s camping for the glamorous). While admiring rustic log stools, driftwood shelves and a large photo mural of woodland sceneries, snag classic sweaters ($60–$80) reppin’ the Roots logo, handcrafted leather totes and travel bags (starting at $128) and tees ($24–$38). The store offers monogramming on carryalls.

Guys with a penchant for preppy-with-an-edge basics will love this Amsterdam men’s clothier. In the space that was the former Soho home of Christian Audigier, Ed Hardy shirts have (thankfully) been replaced with simple menswear boasting jazzy details: Slim-cut blazers ($235) feature patterned fabric under the collar and inside the sleeves for decorative popping and rolling, collared shirts ($125) have fanciful buttons and embroidered Scotch & Soda badges above the chest pockets, and roomy plaid pants ($103) look and feel like pajamas but are actually designed for street wear.

This Dutch womenswear brand, founded by designer Olcay Gulsen in 2004, opens its first stateside store. The modern space features light-colored wood floors, painted-brick walls and minimalist white sofas for lounging. The label’s tailored and trend-driven collection includes snakeskin-print maxidresses ($156), long-sleeve tops with glitter collars ($117) and faux-fur-lined jackets ($312). There are also select items from in-house lingerie line Madame SuperTrash, including polka-dot push-up bras ($59) and high-waisted lace panties ($52). Don’t miss the small but chic selection of accessories, including wallet-friendly beaded hoop earrings ($26).

The charitable brand behind your comfiest kicks recently opened its first NYC shop—a brick-walled space in Nolita housing shoes ($48–$159), eyewear ($98–$189) and TOMS’ newly launched handbag line ($28–$298). Find perforated open-toe booties ($98) and men’s linen slip-ons ($54) at the outpost, which also features a coffee bar, outdoor patio and a book-swap shelf for browsing, borrowing and donating titles. Sip a cup of joe while eyeing ikat-print purses ($78) and striped-canvas totes ($78); the bags offer a new way to give back via TOMS—every purchase helps pregnant women in need.

Vintage specs are a huge trend, and since each piece of eyewear designed by this NYC brand is inspired by the 1920s, you’ll find every retro frame imaginable (all shades cost $129, plus shipping). Beyoncé is particularly partial to the cat-eye trend (yes, we creep on her Instagram like everyone else, too), so you should probably scoop up a pair, like, now.

Husband and wife Rob Magnotta and Winnie Beattie have opened their first boutique, filled with eclectic women’s threads ($97–$2,000), accessories ($41–$2,500) and vintage books ($13–$80) meant to imbue a cozy feeling. The space retains the original hardwood floors from its past life as an olive-oil factory and uses an antique post-office mail sorter for merchandise. Zebra-print rugs and tropical plants give it a nature-inspired vibe. Shoppers can also nab home goods such as Auntie Oti towels ($41) handwoven in India and beach-scented Apothia candles ($55). Embrace your inner romantic with Roseanna lace tops ($212) and Vanessa Bruno Athé chambray dresses ($306). Extra trimmings include Locals flip-flops ($18), which are native to Hawaiian drugstores; Jerome Dreyfuss linen-and-leather handbags ($288); and VK Lillie necklaces ($667) filled with healing crystals.
