Supply and Demand

Addict Opens

Closet space. On-duty cabs. People interested in committed relationships.

Just a few things you’re likely to hear that this city lacks. But good shopping? Now that’s a new one. (Have you even seen our sample sale listings lately?)

Nevertheless, Megan Johnson and Ashley Thompson couldn’t find enough retail fixes to feed their shopping compulsions. So, like good fashion junkies, the duo became dealers (we hear it’s very lucrative) and opened Addict, their new shop in the Village.

The boutique stocks an incredibly varied collection of merch, like Clu, Mike & Chris, Twinkle, Taverniti, Sass & Bide, C Label stilettos, Edena gloves, and Melanie Dizon clutches.

And, unlike your overstuffed closet, the presentation of the goods is just as impressive. Everything is neatly displayed in a clean, white space. So you can concentrate on the task at hand.

Feeding your dirty little habit.

Addict, 20 East 12th Street, between University Place and Fifth Avenue (212-633-2672).
