Owner Koji Kusakabe has spent the past 26
years as a vintage dealer, crisscrossing the country looking
for well-designed finds. Now you can view his quirky,
impeccable taste on display at this small but immaculately
organized store, tucked away on a dead-end East Village
street. Serious collectors can nab a deck of Hermès playing
cards from the 1950s ($350) or a 1920 Navajo-inspired cotton
Beacon blanket ($850), but if you’re just looking to up your
style quotient, take your pick of the selection, from a ’60s
dead-stock button-up ($40) to a ’60s tie clip ($30). In
addition to Kusakabe’s vintage stash, which is displayed in
old wooden crates, you’ll find new items: Japanese-designed
American workwear from Post O’Alls ($200–$325) and jewelry
constructed with delicate strands of silver and gold by Any New York ($90–$365).
