MORE REGIONAL RETAIL IN BROOKLYN

checked out the brooklyn handknit sample sale after having lunch with the girls at mary's fab new place in greenpointe (best quiche ever!), andrea found me an amazing brown scarf with delicate flower embroidery, but otherwise it was just a room full of giant ponchos. (the manolo would say, yuck!). then we headed to this new place. more french-only designers. even tho the website is highly annoying, the store is quite cute. dresses from designers like maje make it feel like an alternative to the pricier vanessa bruno. a lot of interesting knitwear too. VERy far down sixth, best to hit during the day as one more half block and you are in that wierd no man's land that feels like old billyburg.
