I so fell in love with this shop in Williamsburg with inspired curation.
I'm familiar with a lot of the work in here: Adina Mills rings, Abigail Chapin bags, Ghost Dancer beaded earrings, Morgan Speck ceramics, the Shelter book series.
The vibe is definitely California/hippie/native/ethnic/bohemian/artsy-craftsy/new age/local/organic/etc. An abundance of leather, beads, wood, crystals, and other natural materials.
There are lots of plants everywhere and gorgeous recycled wood displays.
If you cranky Yelpers think it's overpriced because you can't afford to shop here, that's not BD's fault, it's yours. I can barely afford anything in here (because I also own a boutique, ha) but that doesn't mean I don't love the atmosphere of this shop and the gorgeous things they carry.
It's clear the shopgirls here don't do the hard sell and let the goods speak for themselves, but the stressed-out manager definitely gave off an brusque attitude, which is ironic given all the lovey-dovey hippie vibes. A little more warmth would have been nice.
