After a summer lull, boutiques across the city are—or will be—stocking lots of great new stuff. We asked 25 store owners and their well-informed staff—including buyers, managers, and designers—to tell us what piece they’re most excited about this season. Beverly’s has Solange Knowles glassware; Common Things and the soon-to-open East Fork are stocked with colorful dinnerware; and the newly opened New York branch of Danish menswear store (and brand) NN.07 has luxe basics like a jacquard dress shirt and merino wool sweaters. Here’s our preview of these items and more.
Note: All items listed below can be purchased in person at the stores listed, however for retailers without e-commerce, we have provided links to other stores where needed.
