Designer Everything
There’s something about consignment shopping that makes the find special. This is especially true at Designer Revival, an Upper East Side mainstay, where you’re never quite sure what you’ll find, but more than likely it’ll be good. The luxury shop’s collection of new and vintage apparel and accessories changes daily—you might find yourself coveting rare cream-colored leather gloves from Hermès and pleated dresses from Chanel on your first visit, or slipping on Manolo Blahnik pumps and strappy sandals from Aquazzura (pictured) on your next. Handbag collectors, get excited: You might get lucky and score a Birkin bag (above). Shoppers who’d prefer not to spend five figures, though, can scoop up more accessibly priced Ferragamo crossbody bags, Armani clutches and Mulberry satchels. | Designer Revival, 324 E. 81st St., 212.734.3639
Dream Home The recently opened Herman Miller flagship store is like an Architectural Digest photo shoot come to life. Part showroom, part store, the airy space feels like a midcentury modernist fan’s dream home—sofas are piled with pillows in eclectic color palettes and patterns, cacti and objets d’art top coffee tables that look straight out of “The Jetsons,” and bedroom furniture sets are displayed with cheerful rugs, round mirrors and ceramic sculptures. You’ll leave with the well-designed goods—and creative inspiration— you need to reinvigorate your home. | Herman Miller, 251 Park Ave. So., 212.318.3977
