Daytrip Society
(26 October 2007) - by Pamela Liou When homeward-bound couple and former record executives Jessica Jenkins and Andy West set up shop in their native Kennebunkport, Maine, they brought back NYC’s high-end design sensibility and blended it with their love of nature and travel. The open white interior of the shop is accented by warm wooden beams and the railings leading into the back of the store line...

Elkus Manfredi Neiman Marcus Store
(18 October 2007) - Inspired by a silk dress, the wrapping for a new Neiman Marcus store in Boston undulates and folds around the building. Neiman's philosophy is that every store should look completely different from every other of their stores. In line with this, the wrap to this outlet in Boston is made from patches of stainless steel knitted together and is 40 feet high and the...

Aesop
(17 October 2007) - For the entire month of October, cosmetic retailer Aesop transformed their signature space in Fitzroy, Melbourne into a book store containing nothing but hundreds of copies of "Seventeen Poisoned Englishmen." The store looks amazing, and not only do we love such a quirky statement but we've got the word on how and why. Why was Gabriel Garcia Marquez chosen as the featured author? There are...

dREALM Fall
(15 October 2007) - With the recent drop in temperature I've been looking for some Fall gear. We already told you about dREALM and 38 Regular, a small shop in the East Village section of New York that hand-stitches all their pieces in the city, often right in the back of their small shop. It's a destination for finding truly original and high quality items that are sure...

Blackbird: Seattle Men's Shop
(25 September 2007) - In recent years, Ballard has become a destination Seattle neighborhood for those in the know, thanks to Scandinavian industrial charm, a few new bars, restaurants, a gallery, music stores and boutiques—including the standout men's clothing boutique, Blackbird. With a good selection of the labels we know and love, some of the more obscure and lesser-known brands, like the Italian shoemaker Marsèll, put the two-year...

Burton Chicago Flagship
(20 September 2007) - Burton staked its claim in the Midwest by opening their latest flagship store in Chicago last night with a big ol' Burton-style party. It may seem odd to open a snowboarding store in the flatlands, but Founder and Chairman Jake Burton first competed with a Burton board in Michigan, so the store brings 30 years of Burton full circle. At four stories high in...

Two L.A. Boutiques
(27 August 2007) - With Los Angeles' recent spate of new boutiques—from East Coast imports Moss and Opening Ceremony to an A.P.C. flagship—the city's getting a major dose of prime retail adding to the few pioneers who were already there. The following are a couple more (located literally around the corner from each other in the popular 3rd Street district) who are doing their part to balance out...

Other Store
(08 August 2007) - We love the recently launched Other online store. Not just because of its selection of royalty-free illustrations (like this one above, available as a free download for all Cool Hunting readers), ultra cute designer kiddie range, and collection of canvases, cushions, and snap cards, but also because, with its international aesthetic, Other owns that space between sophisticated and fun using funky colors and minimalist...

Two Berlin Boutiques: Lil*Shop and Wood Wood
(11 July 2007) - Comme des Garçons opened their first of their "Guerilla" stores in 2004 in Berlin. It was supposed to stay open for one year, but how can you put an end to such a good thing? So the women who ran the Guerilla store opened Lil*Shop, which carries vintage Comme des Garçons, as well as special Nike products like Nike Vintage Running shoes. It's a...

A.P.C. Los Angeles Flagship Store
(13 June 2007) - A.P.C., the label beloved the world over for its understated Parisian style, opens its doors in the West Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles today. The second flagship in the U.S. (the other is in New York) brings their always-classic denim line (including the cult-status raw stuff of course) to the West Coast, along with the subtle feminity of their women's clothes, staple menswear, their...

(13 June 2007) - A new home for the best in retro-mod and limited-edition men's shoes, Ubiq, has just opened on Philadelphia's Walnut Street. Designed by Rafael de Cardenas, the optically stimulating store vibrates with black-and-white patterns, intense and strategic lighting, and reflective surfaces.

DEAR:55 and Travessia Boutiques
(23 May 2007) - Two new boutiques recently broke ground on the Lower East Side. Williamsburg antiques dealers Moon Rhee and designer Hey Ja Do were bored with the typical local vintage store fare. Now, their newly opened DEAR:55 on Clinton Street with its gleaming spaceship white glow, offers a modern twist on the norm. Inside the alabaster space is a meticulous selection of vintage and current collections,...

Lion in Love Boutique
(21 May 2007) - Lion in Love, a boutique in Melbourne, Australia, is causing a wave in the local fashion community. An antidote to knockoff Marc Jacobs pumps produced en masse and replicas of the latest Miu Miu dress in stores before it’s even left the catwalk, the store is a place to do the impossible and find something truly unique.

In God We Trust Boutique
(16 May 2007) - SoHo's latest additon, In God We Trust, opened 1 May 2007, and perfectly translates the curiosity/antique shop essence of its Brooklyn predecessor. Closet-like racks bear clothes and accessories by Ritten House, Shennan, Kristen Coates, Beard and Bangs, Harvey Hats, M. Carter, and Shara Porter—designers with a homespun aesthetic much like the In God We Trust label. And as for the much–loved In God We...

Kaight Eco-Boutique
(27 April 2007) - When Kaight owner Kate McGregor initially envisioned an eco-friendly boutique, she saw it in L.A. where the green movement had seriously taken root. Thankfully, she decided that a fair-trade boutique in New York would be a little more interesting. Now, the lofty space offers something for conscientious and discerning shoppers alike. A worktable finds organic cotton jeans from Loomstate piled next to beachy glass...

Three Places To Enjoy Wine Without The Fuss
(23 April 2007) - We like wine at Cool Hunting but we don't like the whiff of snobbery that often accompanies it, which is why these three places are more than welcome to top up our glass. In their own way, they're helping to demystify what's behind the label, encouraging drinkers to experiment without fear. The Sampler (above left) recently opened in Islington, North London to much fanfare....

No Quiet Boutique in Japan
(16 March 2007) - No Quiet is a small boutique located outside of Tokyo on a quiet, non-descript corner. Offering clothing, jewelery, bags, stationary and other accessories, some of our favorite items (pictured below from left to right) include the hook t-shirt, a loosely pieced together cotton t-shirt, the 2-hole ring and the receipt calendar, which is printed on a receipt roll.

DARR: Walrus Doctor's Bag
(15 March 2007) - In a neighborhood jammed with antique stores DARR stands out for its unusual inventory on Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue. Among eclectic furniture, busts and many offbeat cabinet-of-curiousity-like items (turtle shells, whale bones, etc.), we found this doctor's bag (click on images for detail). Made of walrus skin, the bag is fairly large, durable, and perfectly worn—very au courant for the enduring neo-19th century look of...

Surface To Air São Paulo Boutique
(22 February 2007) - When in São Paulo recently, I was excited to check out Surface To Air's new store that opened in the city's Jardin neighborhood in October 2006. The third boutique to their name (they also have spaces in Paris and New York), the all-white space houses the best of Brazilian clothing and accessories as well as S2A's own line. Standouts include Adriana Degreas, Alexandre Herchcovitch...

Anuschka Hoevener
(30 January 2007) - Thanks to the connection to Berlin that Project No. 8 co-owner Elizabeth Beer has (she's a partner at Arratia, Beer gallery there), the shop has a selection of some of the best Berlin lines. In addition to Schiesser, Kwik Shop and Bless, they carry Anuschka Hoevener, a designer who often incorporates sculptural volume into her work, though not in the usual puffed sleeve kind...
