Studio 5 in 1

This off the beaten path boutique is home to a hybrid studio-​store with a design studio in the back and local fashion and jewelry commerce in the storefront entrance. The space is raw with well-​worn wooden floors and stacks of vintage décor making it a comforting and unique place to shop. The seven fashion and jewelry designers featured in the boutique staff it themselves, giving you the unique opportunity to shop with the designer present.
Everything from comfortable cashmere sweaters, form-​fitting jackets, silk dresses, unique jewelry, scarves, tote bags, and even a small mens section can be found. Jackets and coats range from $ 300-​$ 450, dresses from $ 140-​$ 300, tops from $ 40-​$ 100, and jewelry from $ 50-​$ 250+.
The Brooklyn-​based designers include A Peace Treaty, Costalots, Covet, Dirty Librarian Chains, H Fredriksson, ROUND, and Uluru, and are all dedicated to sustainability and distinctive in vision. Focusing on the skilled craftsmanship of particular regional artisans, A Peace Treaty’s hand-​loomed cashmere and cotton scarves are beautifully made in bright and fun colors. Costalots’s sunglasses are made from materials originally intended for safety eyewear, but are transformed into sunglasses in a variety of tinted shades from grey and rose to brown and smoke. Achieving balance between sustainability and fashion, Covet consists of light and airy organic fabrics in feminine cuts with special button details and pockets. Dirty Librarian Chains is a jewelry collection of elegantly draped, twisted, and re-​worked vintage pieces in edgy, asymmetrical designs. H Fredriksson’s fondness for nature and prints are evident in her elegant pieces that unite her abstracted nature photographs with fashion. Mixing masculine and feminine forms, the ROUND collection combines delicate metals with heavy textures in uniquely wearable jewelry. And the Uluru fashion line pays much attention to silhouette and adds sculptural qualities to feminine classics.
Due to the designers staffing the boutique themselves, 5 in 1 storefront boutique is only open Friday-​Sunday, but the unique and locally-​designed pieces are worth the visit.
