I discovered this Brooklyn-based shopper’s paradise whilst apartment hunting last summer. To be honest, I was “DUMBO-founded” to find such a stunning store situated beyond the island of Manhattan. The open and airy space reminds me of a mini version of Barney’s Coop, sans the attitude and bustling crowds. Now that I’m living next door (yup… new abode happens to be adjacent to Zoë), I constantly have first dibs on all the new arrivals from my favorite labels, including 3.1. Phillip Lim, Matthew Williamson, Miu Miu and Chloé, to name a few. And when I’m too lazy to trek downstairs, I’m typically clicking my way through their equally impressive e-store (pathetic, I know).
