Nestled in the Catskills, Kria is a chic boutique in the historic Galli-Curci Theatre offering handcrafted jewelry and thoughtful home goods from local artisans.
"I visited the little town of Margaretville, up in the Catskills, for the first time a few months ago. I was charmed by pretty much everything it had to offer—vintage shops loaded with trinkets, a warehouse stacked to the ceiling with winter boots, even a tattoo parlor. But one of the places I fell for hardest was Kria, a bright boutique embedded in the town’s historic Galli-Curci Theatre. (The marquee is still there.) Designer and Reykjavik native Jóhanna Methúsalemsdóttir opened the store in 2019; among the many riches, you’ll spot her jewelry, which she crafts by hand from reclaimed precious metals, along with fragrant bars of soap from local natural skincare outfit Hudson Made and traditional Icelandic rag socks made by Varma. (I bought a pair for my future sister-in-law; Methúsalemsdóttir told me to wash them with conditioner to soften them up.) No doubt you’ll leave with your arms full—but don't forget to stop by neighbor Cafe Marguerite for one of the deeply delicious halva toasted-sesame donuts."
