NEWS
I am sure you have heard about Max Fish and Pink Pony! We are very sad to hear they are forced to leave by the 31st of Jan after being on Ludlow for 21 years. It's Ludlow's loss. We have met many a friend there and had so many good times.
Yesterday we had a lovely visit from Scott Gibson, a local designer and friend. He was spreading a lot of holiday cheer and suggested we put up some decorations, so we did.Yay Scott! Come check it out!
Today our friend Amy Schimmel, designer of Myth & Ritual stopped by. We are receiving some beautiful dresses from her that are very Alice in Wonderland meets Ziggy Stardust for the Spring. We can't wait!!!!! We will have pictures up soon.
We also received a shipment of John Derian paperweights that are great present for the holidays, and we have an assortment of candles by Patch NYC and perfumes by them as well. We can assist you with holiday shopping to make it less stressful for you and there are lot of sales going on right now on easy pieces like scarves, hats, gloves, bags and jewelry.

Press Release of New Store!
MANHATTAN RETAIL PIONEER AND VISIONARY SETS UP NEW SHOP
The TG 170 Boutique Relocates to 77 Ludlow Street at Broome
The TG 170 Boutique Relocates to 77 Ludlow Street at Broome
Change is inevitable – and sometimes change is good. With a little help from her friends – including long time recording artist pal Chan Marshall aka Cat Power – TG170 owner Terri Gillis moved her ground-breaking boutique of fifteen years across Delancy to lower Ludlow on the edge of Chinatown. The new location sits on a bright, glass-encased corner of the newly happening Orchard Street area; flanked by the clamor of modern bistros and a fresh street energy, a few blocks South of the climbing rents divergent of creative pulse.
A fine art graduate of Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute, Ms. Gillis carved her retail niche throughout the ‘90s discovering designers Wendi Mullins, Susan Ciancialo and Rebecca Danenberg and helped to launch little known lines like United Bamboo. More than a retail hub, TG170 hosted art happenings that included artists Aaron Rose and Rita Ackermann long before the Lower East Side became mainstream. Most recently TG170 co-hosted a benefit for Stoked Mentoring that showcased and auctioned canvas bags as art pieces with handbag designer Rachel Nasvik.
Ms. Gillis wanted to ring in the new location as an antithesis of her quaint former locale with a minimal aesthetic that was “easy and accessible – well-organized – clean, classic and beautiful with room for personal interpretation”. To usher in the new look, she called upon longtime collaborator Philip Otto to design the space. Stanford-trained cultural anthropologist turned architect Otto and his partner-in-design H. Evert Lee created a very simple, adaptable environment where – like the Lower East Side scene itself – anything can happen. To execute this idea, the team worked with industrial materials – glass, simple pine elements, institutional lighting; softened with changeable lighting gels and a hand-finished iron oxide floor by Bahko Concrete.
This neutral gallery backdrop currently houses artwork by Lower East Side legend Rich Jacobs and posters created for the shop by artist Mike Mills, juxtaposed with Gillis’ collection of concrete garden animals. An original sign by Aaron Rose hangs outside. Ms. Gillis has plans to keep the scenery changing along gallery lines. Next up: A window piece by Chris Rubino whose graphics are seen at the likes of über-trendy Ace Hotel and other Manhattan hot spots.

True to its original sense of discovery, the new store carries a blend of unusual and wearable pieces found both locally and around the globe, that Ms. Gillis hopes will become wardrobe staples for years to come. Including hand-knit items from German team Corell & Corell, select separates from Sass & Bide, urban lifestyle frocks from Hengst and jewelry from artist Gabriel Shuldiner.
