NYC: 9th St. Haberdashery
Stepping back in time can only be done in 1930s rain boots, after all. Descending creaky stairs in the East Village can only lead to treasure troves, and 9th Street Haberdashery is a gold mine discovered. A tavern of antique dolls and taxidermy welcomes those seeking to drape their bodies in period pieces, slip into the best vintage jeans around, and adorn themselves with the essence of what once was. Every piece of Victorian lace gifts you with a story of past wear and each silk slip dress takes on yet another lifetime anew. With vintage loving clients, think actresses from Scarlett Johansson to Michelle Williams, Ten Undies designer, Daphne Javitch, and models like Hanne Gaby Odiele, you'll want to have what they're having. Clothes rooted in history and relics that turn back time, there is no time to escape to like the past.
