Amidst the rash of Newbury Street closings I’ve unearthed some good news. All Saints Spitalfields is setting up shop in the space vacated by Pottery Barn earlier this year. A definite improvement.
What’s that? Well, I admit I had no idea ’til I went to the website a few minutes ago. It’s a British brand, with complete lines of women’s, men’s, and kids pieces, plus a few home accessories. There are boutiques in New York, L.A., and Miami, and lucky us, Boston’s next. The aesthetic is sort of steampunk meets Ralph; an earthier Madewell. And, coincidentally, its plaid and antler style is perfect for my blog this week, as I’ve got a series of hunting lodge chic pieces planned in the coming days.
Here’s a sampling of their offerings. I think we’re going to like this place!
Hi Marni,
I will have antler shots to you on Thursday – sorry for the delay!
Awesome- thanks for the head’s up…going to peruse the site now 🙂
Oh that is good news! I hope its a sign of things to come on Newbury St. and even though there are lots of stores leaving, lots of new ones will come in.
Not a fan of All Saints – I actually would have rather that Pottery Barn stayed. It’s such a huge space, though, so I’m surprised that AS would choose it anyway. It’s funny how many UK companies have been opening on Newbury St: Agent Provocateur, Reiss and now All Saints. I wonder what this means about the retail scenes in our respective countries….
I’ve never been – why don’t you like it? Pottery Barn is so tired and over. Yes, lots of Brits – Ben Sherman too. And then there was that tea place… can’t thing of the name of it, which is gone already.
tealuxe marni!
hey come on!
and ps..many moons later i think that all saints is amazing..though it does not seem particularly boston ish..i get a mad max vibe from it..the whole thing has the look and feel of costumes from a dark moody movie..like brazil? you know.
