After shopping at Banana haven't you ever wanted something more original and interesting? After buying jewelry or a purse at H&M haven't you ever wished you knew some small shop of designers with beautifully made pieces? This is the place. I bought a pair of lacy underwear my boyfriend almost died over. I bought a pair of betty boop underwear that are SO cute. I've spent serious time contemplating some of their purses, which are the kind of pieces that you get stopped on the street by other girls who ask you where you got it. My mother came with me once and bought me the most beautiful camisole that I wear with jeans. I love this little gold clutch that I've had for two years that I bought there. And I've gotten two pairs of boots that girls, and even one guy have commented that they love. So while It's nice to buy at the generic stores, this is the kind of place you talk about to your friends, that you buy signature pieces at. I love that you can talk to the designers personally and even make requests. Check it out. Pros: You can talk to the designers in person. Good quality items with signature pieces that people will always comment on. Cons: They're always closed on monday.

This store seems like a pretty good place to buy gifts for the women in your life. They have high-quality clothes, shoes, bags and other accessories for women. It's amazing how many stores like this exist on Fifth Avenue now--it's turning into a destination shopping strip for clothing as well as antiques and gifts.

So many wonderful accessories and trinkets can be found here. It's like being in a giant-size jewelry box. The pros are the unusual merchandise, you get individual attention from the staff, and overall great stuff for bargain prices. They sell Yuki bags here, too! They are very durable, yet elegant hand bags. This place is a great neighborhood boutique.

wonderfully creative store -- every item handmade by local artists. the prices are not what you'd associate with custom-made art-merchandise, since the artisans making these products clearly operate on low-costs, presumably making their goods themselves in their homes. the store itself is similarly, operated as a cooperative among several of the designers whose goods are featured at the store. while I was there, several customers from other parts of the city expressed how excited they were to have found this gem of a store tucked into a 300-sqft little curved space shaped like a piano. Pros: creative, inexpensive, original Cons: small, far from manhattan

Plan on a long visit - there's so much to see. You just want to pick up each unique item. Then you have to figure out something YOU can do with it or someone you can give it to, because you just don't want to leave it there, especially at these prices. I'm particularly taken with the Yukinyc handbags. The fabrics are gorgeous and they're functional, too. You can carry all your worldly goods around with you and still look fashionable. Pros: Individual attention, great prices, unusual merchandise
