ISSEY MIYAKE / NEW YORK

It's always a pleasure coming here. I have developed a wonderful relationship with Midori and the rest of the staff who are all super knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile for you even if you are new to the brand. It's nice not feeling pressured into a sale - this is the worst feeling I think anyone can get from high end brands. Seeing the clothes, getting the chance to feel their texture, or trying them on can either reinforce my desire to purchase or destroy it all together and I think that rings true with everyone - regardless of status. With the team here, it's a journey regardless of your state of mind. The best of these high end brand stores are like really good speakeasy's IMHO 🤔 - you don't keep going for the drinks (fashion items), you keep going because the bartenders (staff) are amazing at what they do and how they treat you. It's a two way street of kindness, so be kind to the folks here and they will treat you like royalty.

What a lovely store, spacious and staff are welcoming. The store manager Marni is super nice. I came for an alternation on a dress I bought online, Marni even helped to drop off my dress in my building after the alteration and left me a sweet note. Will certainly visit the store more often.

Beautiful, museum like experience. Can be intimidating but staff is kind and helpful. Troy was especially nice. Would definitely go back!

What can I say, the shop is amazing, the staff is professional, friendly and not pushy. Nice to see people paying attention to their clients more than their phone. I will go back again and gain.

We visited Issey Miyake NY store during our trip and the experience was great - even better than the Ginza flagship store in Tokyo. Staff are super friendly and welcoming (Debra is the best! :) She even gave us some recommendations for other good shops in the area) Will definitely come back next time.

Fun store, great staff. The selection is very curated (though they have more colors of most bags hiding in pull out drawers) and things are well organized. The store strikes a great balance of great service without being overbearing.

Everyone is so polite and helpful. Ready to pull out as many clothes as you want and get whatever sizes you need. Perfect service, Japanese style. Can’t say the same about the othystores! Mina Krishnan

It has a full collection, like a museum.
