Picks byMarita Owens
Fashion worker and total shopaholic with an appetency for rarity, quality, and nostalgia. Loves a good hunt and a look that kills.
Shopping here feels like my favorite dress up session. Consumerism turns into sacred community. Absolutely no filler at all - everything is a hit. Fab finds from all your faves: JPG, Mugler, Comme, Margiela, Issey, Miu Miu, Prada, the list goes on. At some point or another the piece of my dreams always comes into JV…or I end up dreaming endlessly about a piece I passed on and immediately plan my trip back.
Did you know you can technically shop the Greenpoint location from the comfort of your home or on-the-go via BeaconsCloset.com? Highly accessible but still a total secret to most. From Edwardian vintage, to deep archival luxury, to sought after emerging designers – there’s no telling what the drops of the day will be. You’ve gotta act fast though, the competition is high; some pieces literally sell out in minutes! Pro Tips: Check the site multiple times throughout the day. + Bypass shipping with NYC Pickup from the Greenpoint location.
Great for pieces you never thought you needed but the second you lay eyes on them you realize you can’t do without. From OG cult brands like Hysteric Glamour, to Viv Westwood, to Y’s, to Junya; you want to walk out with the entire store. I found the Pleats Please midi skirt of my dreams here. Be sure to check out the jewelry counter for hidden gems.
Pre COVID you’d be greeted with a smile and a glass of rosé. For the more minimal soul; sexy, serious pieces in elegant neutrals. With a carefully curated selection of vintage glassware and decor in the same aesthetic realm; bringing the look in full circle. P.S. - The 7pm candle is to die for.
Favorite place in BK to shop for vintage furniture. Always gems to be found with on point pricing. There’s something for everyone within their collection. I find myself wanting to buy a new couch every time I visit. For my WFH set up - I bought the cutest, comfiest acrylic and vinyl rolling desk chair that gets more compliments than I do.
