Kristen Stocks has been running DELUXA, a vintage fashion, furniture and home decor store at 187 Sackett Street for the last two months. She wrote to me to introduce herself and her boutique. I am glad she did. I am always happy to spend my money in the neighborhood and to support local merchants instead of throwing it at big chain stores. Though I haven't yet visited Deluxa, I will take a walk there this week. Hope you willl do the same.
I have wanted to share with you and the readers (if you're so inclined) that I've opened a new(ish) vintage store in Carroll Gardens, in the former Go Fish! Brooklyn location. The store is now called Deluxa, and while I originally had most of Go Fish's inventory, much of that has been sold and purged, so I'd love to reinvite people to the spot to check out the new merchandise and new price points. Its been Deluxa since October, but we are really just starting to get around now to spreading the word and reaching out to let people know we are out there, especially as a great alternative to big retailers with better style and lower prices. I've opened up the back room too, so there are now 3 whole rooms to shop in. We're a great place for a unique holiday present, and of course, as always, vintage is super duper friendly on the environment. We've got clothing for ladies, gents, and babies, great mid century modern furniture, housewares, dishware, brickabrac, records, and a small but growing new local music section. The website is deluxanyc.com, and I've also got a blog and myspace that I use fairly heavily, albeit only since the last 2 months while also opening and running my first business.

think it's great that this store front has been rented out. As a resident and homeowner of 40 plus years on that same block, I have one small problem with this store. That is the amount of racks and merchandise tht is in front of the store. It's makes it very diffcult to walk down to your home when there is all this stuff in your path. Sackett street is a pretty busy block being that it's one of the 3 blocks use to cross over to Cloumbia street. It's a pretty tight walk pass the store if there are shoppers in front of the store going through the racks. I don't see why the sidewalk needs to be use to merchandise your stuff. You mentioned that you now have a extra room in the back. Why not use it for all the stuff you display on sidewalk. Why not put thse racks inside the front gate of the storefront instead of blocking the sidewalk. Let's not mention how hard it is to get out of your car with the racks sitting and block the way. This is a hazard and I'm sure an accident walking to happen. I'm sure there is a law out there in rereference to blocking the side walk. The shops on Smith street and in other parts of the area don't put their stuff outside. I wish you all the luck with your business but you must do something about all the stuff on the sidewalk. It a eyesore and an accident waiting to happen.
