NYT on Shen Beauty
The NY Times writes about Shen Beauty [315 Court Street]:
NY Times: David Netto helped design the space, which is stocked primarily with organic products and exclusive British imports like the Lubatti Collection (the recipes of the 1920s skin-care specialist Madame Lubatti, revived by Jo Malone’s sister, Tracey); the London facialist Amanda Lacey’s line (she’s a close friend of Stringer’s); and Kate Logan’s potions, which are made from herbs plucked from her own garden. The original samples arrived stateside in Stringer’s hand luggage. “We’d rather someone buy one small item and then come back,” she says. “I think that goes with the spirit of the neighborhood.”
While Richards, a Cobble Hill resident, founded the shop as a resource for those living in the area, Shen Beauty has become a destination for city dwellers. Says the model Jessica Stam, “I take trips to Brooklyn just to shop there.”

Jodi Arnold NYC Opens Atlantic Ave Boutique
This Saturday, July 24th, contemporary women’s fashion designer Jodi Arnold will celebrate the grand opening of their newest retail location at 347 Atlantic Avenue (at Hoyt). Ms. Arnold, a neighborhood resident, is thrilled to have a location in the hood:
“Brooklyn isn’t as transient as other parts of the city; it reminds me of home. Most people wouldn’t put Brooklyn and Birmingham in the same sentence, but they both have a sense of community and warmth. This lack of pretense – what I call “soul” – is the essence of our brand.”
Jodi Arnold NYC’s grand opening sidewalk party runs from 1 PM to 5 PM this Saturday. In the meantime, check out the photos provided by Ms. Arnold of her new retail space.
