With the launch of our Central Park Collection, we sourced six one-of-a-kind vintage rugs from Manhattan to bring an added sense of place and authenticity to the story behind the campaign. Along the hunt, we revisited some of our favorite antique shops, vintage stores, and design destinations across New York City — spaces that continue to shape our eye for collected interiors, storied objects, and homes that feel deeply personal.
Tucked between busy streets and familiar storefronts are interiors layered with antiques, handmade pieces, sculptural lighting, worn wood tables, stacks of vintage books, and perfectly imperfect ceramics. These are the kinds of places that stay with you — where inspiration strikes unexpectedly, and where you leave thinking about the one-of-a-kind piece you probably should have brought home.
A few of our favorite New York shops for inspiration, collecting, and slow wandering.
RW Guild
There’s a stillness to RW Guild that immediately changes your pace. The space is layered with natural materials, sculptural furniture, ceramics, linens, and objects that feel chosen for their texture and permanence rather than trend.
Everything feels grounded and intentional — a study in craftsmanship, restraint, and atmosphere.
Porter James
Porter James feels deeply collected — the kind of space where every object carries a sense of history. Antique furnishings, artwork, and decorative pieces are arranged with an ease that feels personal rather than styled.
The beauty is in the layering: worn finishes, quiet tones, and objects that invite a closer look.
Dyphor Home
Dyphor Home balances vintage and contemporary pieces with a softer, more minimal sensibility. Sculptural forms, muted palettes, and carefully chosen antiques give the space a calm, understated warmth.
Nothing competes for attention, which makes each piece feel even more distinct.
Humble House
Humble House embraces the beauty of lived-in interiors. Layered textiles, aged wood, soft lighting, and collected objects give the space a warmth that feels deeply inviting.
It’s the kind of shop that reminds you character matters more than perfection.
Painted Swan
Painted Swan leans romantic and slightly theatrical in the best way. Ornate antiques, faded finishes, mirrors, lighting, and decorative objects create interiors that feel cinematic yet approachable.
Every corner feels rich with detail and personality.
The Primary Essentials
The Primary Essentials is beautifully restrained — a space where everyday objects are elevated through thoughtful design and careful curation.
Handcrafted pieces, subtle textures, and functional forms create interiors that feel both modern and warm.
Coming Soon
Tucked into the Lower East Side, Coming Soon feels less like an antique shop and more like stepping into the home of someone with impossibly good taste. The curation blends vintage and contemporary with an irreverent colorful cool factor — unexpected objects, sculptural lighting, storied furniture, and pieces that feel collected rather than decorated. Equal parts playful and refined, it’s a destination for design lovers seeking the unexpected.
Seaport Flowers & Home
Part floral studio, part home shop, Seaport Flowers and Home brings softness and movement into the mix. Fresh florals layered alongside vintage-inspired décor create a space that feels vibrant without being overwhelming.
There’s an ease to it that feels distinctly New York.
Le Fanion
Le Fanion feels intimate and quietly transportive. The shop blends European charm with a collected sensibility — aged materials, understated antiques, and objects that reveal their beauty slowly.
It’s a place that encourages lingering.
The best shops in New York offer more than objects — they offer perspective. Spaces that inspire slower living, thoughtful collecting, and homes filled with texture, history, and personality.
These are the places we return to when looking for inspiration.
