a shop in the park
We love a park full of foliage, but one teeming with new frocks we’re more inclined to camp out in.
At brand new boutique Vincent Park,
there are many reasons to stay awhile. Other than the clothes, which
range from delicate silks by Graham & Spencer to affordable staples
by Sweden’s Dr. Denim, and the cute curios like artful Poketo plates,
fragrant Illume candles and sassy Sailor Jerry pint glasses, there’s
the place, run by two stylishly down-to-earth sisters and adorned with
resplendent old relics. At the entryway, an antique grandfather clock
turned display case greets you and at the end of the corridor, a
restored vintage photo booth will capture you in Amélie-like black and
white before you duck into the dressing room.
And Vincent Park outfits both sexes, so no need to feel bad about dragging your other half along on this walk in the shop—especially if you’re both happily hipster.
