It’s Sarah Shapiro’s readout from the week in shopping. ⁠ ⁠ First, Sarah examines a trend among contrarian retailers (like Outline and HommeGirls), who are stepping back from e-commerce and building their models around stuff you can actually touch (yes, that means physical stores and catalogs).⁠ ⁠ Then, Sarah brings us inside Dries Van Noten’s newest NYC outpost on Mercer Street—which they landed after a 15-year quest for the perfect Manhattan location.⁠ ⁠ Read Sarah’s full dispatch, at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Photo: Tijs Verveken/Courtesy of Dries Van Noten⁠ ⁠ #Fashion #Retail #Outline #HommeGirls #DriesVanNoten
