The Greenpoint accessories shop drips with nostalgia for a bygone era from the boudoir-style decor to the pinup bathing suits and feather headbands for sale. The focus is on jewelry with necklaces, bracelets, and rings from local designers like Digby & Iona, as well as stunning original pieces from the ’50s.
Well-edited but hearty collection of favorite lines like Rag & Bone, Marni, Rick Owens, and Helmut Lang. In the accessories department you’ll find Dries Van Noten shoes, Phillip Crangi jewels, and Jas M.B. handbags.
Indie clothing and accessories for lads and lassies in what feels like your eccentric grandparents’ tiny attic (everything new feels special and old).
Owners of antiques store Darr extend their quirky, eclectic taste for vintage finds into men’s clothing in a retail space, adorned with busts, across the street.
Your willpower is nothing compared to the dress and jean selection from up-and-comers, plus the BabyBird annex.
Look for an art deco dry-cleaning sign to gain access to this Fort Greene boutique, which carries local and indie designers with an eye for detail.

The sparse little shop has odd hours and is best reached by car or ferry, but — oh! — what an expertly curated gem. Owner Russell Whitmore is more than happy to give you the history behind the antique jewelry, curiosities, furniture, and cutting-edge designs.

The edgy, musically charged, indie fashion foursome (one’s named Tinypants) produces experimental collections for men and women — which they carry in their boutique along with select pieces from designer friends.

Rarified pieces from the likes of Sonia by Sonia Rykiel, Mociun, and Lyell fit perfectly into the casually bourgeois bohemian wardrobe of locals.
