"Tucked way on Thompson street is a store and museum dedicated to lucite handbags, Janice Berkman may well be the world's expert on these sculptural bags handmade in limited quantities in the 1950s, starting this store 19 years ago. Every piece here is uniquely beautiful - geometric with intricate hardware, some with a splash of glitter or gemstones. A treat to visit, and even more so to pick out your own piece of timeless history." - Julia Guo

What a delightful little shop! Perfectly curated, beautiful selection, impeccably organized.
The owner is a lovely woman who was so helpful. She's an expert on lucite handbags too and has a very cool book about them.
Pricing is pretty much perfect. I thought it would be a really expensive shop based on the quality and condition of the collection, but it was more than reasonable.

What a great find! My mom and I were walking the neighborhood in search of vintage jewelry. Evan helped us out and made the experience truly unique, and special. No matter the occasion you’re shopping for, stop in and check out their selection! Small place, but plenty of treasures! Prices are reasonable as well.
