New York Magazine just listed Zoe as the best boutique in the big city adding that the shop has taken the title from shops like Bird and Butter (my personal pick would have been Love Brigade Coop, but I’m a biased bastard who likes to keep his friends close). Do you agree with New York Magazines pick or would you have suggested another destination for spending you bucks in the outer borough?

Bird and Butter have dominated the Brooklyn fashion-retail scene for years, but the fashion-label lovers still had to travel to Manhattan for Jimmy Choos or anything Lanvin. Zoe is an emporium (3,500 square feet) that has managed to lure high-ticket, big designer names for men and women (Prada, Marni, Jil Sander) across the river. There’s no doubt the price tags can be intimidating, but there’s an affordable selection of gear from J Brand, Cheap Monday, and C&C California. The sheer amount of merchandise and size takes away from the charm that Brooklyn retail is known for, but the shopping options are endless.
