In 1999, Pierre Hardy was created, starting with women’s shoes and following in 2006 with the introduction of handbags. Since then, the brand has made waves in the accessories world, adding a modern, geometric twist to the sometimes staid worlds of designer handbags and shoes and created a cult following in the process.
We’ve covered the brand and its bags before, but today wanted to take a further peek into the world of Pierre Hardy and visit the brand’s NYC boutique. Tucked away on Jane Street in the northern end of the West Village, the store is clean and sleek, with a dark glass front. When you pop inside, you are immediately taken swept into the brand’s aesthetic world, with bags and shoes meticulously placed on an artistic presentation area.
The front of the store showcases the women’s selection while to the back you will find the men’s options. I have been drawn to the Pierre Hardy Alpha Bag since its release, and there were quite a few options available. Along with the bags, the shoes are stunning; each has a unique feel while flowing with Pierre’s aesthetic seamlessly.
If you are in New York City, be sure to stop by the location to check out all of the bags and shoes. The store is located at 30 Jane Street, (646) 449-0070. While closed Monday, the store is open Tuesday to Friday, 11am to 7pm; Saturday, 12pm to 7pm; and Sunday, 12pm to 6pm.
