The Eighth Wonder of the World With stores in Japan, Italy and now New York, jeweler Iosselliani likes to give its boutiques a local flavor. Which is why the latest location, in the shadow of the Empire State Building, features a giant, solemn yet appealing King Kong statue (below). Posing like a guard, the gorilla presides over the softly lit, simple gallery of colorful, embellished, modern metalwork the Italian company is celebrated for, such as this statement necklace (left). » Iosselliani, 4 W. 29th St., 212.686.2211

We were already confident David Lynch was capable of pretty much anything, but tableware (plate, below)? Unexpected, even with his wild-card résumé. Bernardaud, the revered French porcelain manufacturer, has a surprise up its sleeve in celebration of 150 years in the industry: Its recently opened boutique exclusively features dinnerware designed by the likes of Sophie Calle, Jeff Koons and the aforementioned Lynch. Here’s to dining with your artistic idols. » Bernardaud, 465 W. 23rd St., 212.255.5280
Fading Prints Once the master of swirling, psychedelic prints, Pucci is headed to a new place. The fabled label just streamlined and dialed down, and these design sentiments are aptly reflected in its latest store (right), which is in good designer company on the Upper East Side. Modeled after the Florentine Palazzo Pucci—which, we expect, after seeing this boutique, is pretty divine—the space is dotted with velvet couches, purple-marble cabinets and lots of regal gold trimming, creating a truly luxurious atmosphere in which to try on the new, more subtle pieces and kiss the patterns of the past a long goodbye. » Pucci, 855 Madison Ave., 212.230.1135

Or button-down. Whatever you want to call them, Jachs’ popular shirts (left) have arrived at their own store. Pegged as an inexpensive yet inspired take on the classic men’s staple, the line appeals to guys who are looking to find that ideal mix of rugged and easyliving look. The new boutique boasts an Americana vibe, too— antique wood, cool vintage trunks and hand-painted windows. And then there’s the women’s collection, “Jachs Girlfriend,” perfect for the all-American girl. » Jachs, 310 Bleecker St., 212.206.6306
