"We scour the US and European markets to assemble this collection." Focusing on classic designs with a contemporary bend, the shop boasts knitwear, denim, pants, and outerwear from leading brands, including John Varvatos, Rag & Bone, and Vince, as well as, most recently, menswear from Paul Smith and Billy Reid.

Cast in lively stripe, dot, argyle, and skull patterns, simple wardrobe pieces like socks, cuff links, wallets, and cashmere scarves take on a playful spirit.
