The Epicenter of Luxury: Greene Street
Greene Street is arguably the most concentrated corridor of luxury in SoHo. This is where you’ll find a stunning lineup of iconic fashion houses, one after another. Key stops include:
- Chanel: A massive, museum-like boutique offering the full range of ready-to-wear, handbags, and accessories.
- Dior: A breathtaking store that often features immersive, art-like installations alongside its collections.
- Louis Vuitton: One of several LV locations in the city, the SoHo store has a distinctly artistic and neighborhood-centric feel.
- Burberry: Showcasing the brand’s modern British luxury in a sleek, contemporary space.
Contemporary & Cutting-Edge Hubs
SoHo is also home to multi-brand retailers and department stores that offer a curated mix of established and emerging designers.
- The RealReal: While a consignment store, The RealReal’s SoHo location feels like a luxury boutique. It’s the place to find pre-owned designer pieces from Chanel, Gucci, and Hermès in excellent condition.
- Bloomingdale’s SoHo: A smaller, more curated version of its famous uptown counterpart. It offers a well-edited selection of contemporary and designer brands in a more relaxed, boutique-like atmosphere.
Must-Visit Flagships on Other Streets
Don’t limit yourself to just one street. Be sure to explore the surrounding blocks for other major flagships:
- Prada (Broadway & Prince St): An architectural marvel designed by Rem Koolhaas, featuring a giant wooden “wave” and futuristic dressing rooms. The store design is as much of an attraction as the clothing.
- Saint Laurent (Greene St): A sleek, minimalist space filled with Hedi Slimane’s signature rock-and-roll aesthetic.
- Gucci (Wooster St): More than just a store, Gucci Wooster is a creative space that includes a screening room and often hosts special events, embodying Alessandro Michele’s eclectic vision.
