DUO NYC

BEWARE: The following store might make you want to quit your job, drop everything, and move to Santorini to be a vintage clothed, boyfriend-jean wearing, leather-sandal clad goddess. But seriously, one step inside DUO NYC and you’ll understand why.

Most of us have about 600 Pinterest boards filled with pictures of perfect vintage kitten heels, sundresses, and Levi’s boyfriend jeans, but unfortunately, all that's left at our local vintage store are some 80's prom dresses and a few old Vera Bradley totes. That’s where DUO NYC comes in! They cater a heavenly blend of clean and minimalistic vintage finds with small, sustainable brands like Lacusa, Tigre et Tigre, and Le Bon Shoppe. But don’t expect to find the same selection next time you drop by, DUO NYC likes to keep you on your toes so they change out their inventory weekly.

         

When you stumble inside this quaint boutique in the East Village, you’ll probably be greeted by the bubbly blonde sisters who started the store 11 years ago. With the goal of curating a shop that focuses on natural, sustainable, and high-quality fabrics in minimal and timeless styles, it’s pretty clear that they have succeeded. Not to mention, they could not be more helpful with styling the perfect ensemble for you...no lie, these girls could probably convince me to spend my paycheck on a burlap sack.

Next time you are looking for a dreamy silk cami, hand-beaded necklace, or pair of to-die-for leather mules (you know, the kind that you could totally see yourself skipping through the streets of Italy sipping espresso in), pop into DUO NYC and take a look!
