Assembly Required
There’s a lot to discover if you know where to look. Or even if you know someone who knows where to look…
Welcome to Assembly New York, a collection of vintage finds and international gear, now quietly open on the Lower East Side.
The hole-in-the-wall location may have a familiar LES boutique look, but the contents are far from common. They don’t separate out the vintage from the new, so the best tactic is to dive right in. The labels are mostly foreign, like the Danish Henrik Vibskov who contributes a few bright green raincoats, so you won’t run into anything too familiar. They even find room for L.A. gray-scalers Endovenera, if you don’t mind a little pacific flavor, alongside vintage wingtips and knit silk ties to indulge your historical streak.
But the real finds aren’t on the racks. Peek under the glass display cases and you’ll find a whole other store’s worth of antique trinkets, like a ram-shaped bolo tie or a set of treated brass shoehorns dating back to the Gangs of New York era. There’s even a vinyl section in the back (skewed towards 60s prog) for a more musical discovery, and a selection of heavy metal t-shirts for your perusal.
Because Iron Maiden never goes out of style.

Holy Shit!!! Fashionista Sends Us Some Love
We are so in love with the Fashionistas right now. They just spotted our “Douche Bag” tote on Cafe Press and decided to show us some real love. I can here the registers at Cafe Press ringing now!!! Send us some money!!!
The full review below…
“It’s been a while since the last time we came across a spoof of the Anya Hindmarch “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” tote, but we think this one really beats them all.
Despite the bag’s popularity, and the good things we know came from it, we couldn’t help but burst out into laughter when we came across Fashion Indie’s “I’m Not a Douche Bag” tote on Cafe Press.
So seventh grade, and yet, so on point - we’d love to swing this around the Whole Foods salad aisle while enunciating our plans to offset the bag’s carbon footprint using only macrobiotic beets.”
