pb & Caviar

Thu, 21 Jul 2011 12:15:00 +0000

Fun & flirty fashion in an intimate new shop.

Originally a shop in Tribeca for moms and their kids, pb & Caviar has recently moved their boutique to the LES where they have stepped up their fashion and left the children’s line behind. The new space is bright and cheerful with romantic decor and racks of flirty, feminine clothing.

The vision for the new pb & Caviar was to create the comforts of a dress shop that had more than just dresses to offer. The store isn’t overcrowded with merchandise, but instead has a carefully edited selection of trendy key pieces that are fun, bright, and effortless.

A love for color is obvious in every brightly patterned dress, jewel-toned skirt, and floral top. Prices range from $50-$250 and include brands Hype, Lucca Couture, Porcelain, and MM Couture. You can find styles for both day and evening that are on-trend and quality pieces. Our favorites include Lucca Couture’s silk floral top ($58) and Hype’s pastel feather dress ($215).

The friendly staff is happy to take you through their seasonally-changing catalog of brands and there is often a good sale going on in the back. A definite stop for fun, flirty fashion in an intimate new shop catering to its new neighborhood.
