THE TOWN’S RETAIL DISTRICT IS SECOND TO NONE

Whether you’re on the hunt for the perfect couch, a unique hostess gift, or the latest kicks and workout gear, Greenwich retail has you covered. Never before have the options been so diverse, from high-end fashion and homefurnishings stores to boho boutiques, contemporary art galleries and a bevy of beauty emporiums. The best part? Most are within an easily walkable six-block stretch of the downtown area and neighboring side streets. (And that’s not including the expanding offerings in Cos Cob and Old Greenwich.). HERMÈS, LONGCHAMP, TUMI and TORY BURCH all have elegant shops on the Avenue, as do tony jewelers BETTERIDGE, MANFREDI, SHREVE CRUMP & LOW and TIFFANY & CO. RH’s spacious digs are in the town’s historic post office building (and RH BABY & CHILD and RH TEEN are nearby). Of course, no trip to the Avenue would be complete without a stop at the APPLE store, where the very helpful techies can guide you to the perfect products, and geniuses are on call for troubleshooting problems. Whether your tastes run high, low or somewhere in the middle, you’ll find what your heart desires in this exciting retail district.

One of the landmark shops is RICHARDS, part of the Mitchell family’s growing retail empire, with a rich tradition on the Avenue. (The original men’s shop first opened more than 50 years ago.) Set in a stunning two-story building with a grand central staircase, the store is renowned for its exceptional customer service; style advisors help customers navigate a carefully curated selection of on-trend and classic designs—think Tom Ford, Gabriela Hearst, Nicholas Kirkwood, The Row, Tod’s and Zegna, to name a few. There are in-store boutiques (Loro Piana and Brunello Cucinelli) and a brilliant array of fine and designer jewelry. Enjoy a cappuccino at the coffee bar or in one of the comfy club chairs by the flatscreen. Alterations are complimentary, too. Another Avenue anchor is SAKS FIFTH AVENUE (now comprising a four-store complex called the Saks Shops at Greenwich), where shoppers will find the latest Céline bag, the most coveted Prada coat, the chicest Chanel dress and a cornucopia of cosmetics. Nearby, on Elm Street, is the brand’s stand-alone shoe store: 10022-SHOE (the name references the shoe shop at the New York flagship store, which is so big it has its own zip code). Customers will think they have died and gone to shoe heaven when they step in the door. Searching for the perfect denim jeans for those new booties? Head to SAKS GREENWICH THE COLLECTIVE for contemporary designer fashion, and then complete A view down the venerable Greenwich Avenue (opposite); Restoration Hardware (above, left); Saks wardrobe expert Withley Verdiner offers personal styling (above, right)

the look with a bauble from SAKS GREENWICH THE VAULT next door. In addition to department stores, there are numerous boutiques and international retailers on the Avenue. For the latest in makeup and hair styling options, SEPHORA and BLUEMERCURY feature all the big-name brands. Across the street, GREENWICH PHARMACY stocks a fabulous selection of restorative bath salts and oils, among other products. To meet the growing demand for active lifestyle wear—for yoga, spinning, jogging or just running around town—the Avenue has all the top brands. London-based SWEATY BETTY, ATHLETA, JUJA ACTIVE and LULULEMON offer sleek workout gear for a variety of disciplines, while THREADS & TREADS has been outfitting the town’s running crowd for years. Put that gear to good use at the many gyms and fitness studios on or near the Avenue. In addition to EQUINOX, FORME BARRE FITNESS, NEW YORK SPORTS CLUB, PURE BARRE, SLT and SOULCYCLE, are newcomers CLUB SWEAT, COUNTDOWN FITNESS and GREENWICH BARRE STUDIO. As for hip street style, the fashion-savvy crowd flocks to ARITZIA, INTERMIX, JOIE, RAG AND BONE and VINCE for a cool downtown vibe, while preppyat-heart shoppers tend to gravitate to VINEYARD VINES, whose founders Shep and Ian Murray are Greenwich natives, as well as the bright and breezy designs of LILLY PULITZER, located across the street. The recently opened BLANKENSHIP DRY GOODS offers made in America classics, while ROLLER RABBIT’S cheerful block prints brighten up easy cotton tunics and dresses. CLUB MONACO, ZARA and COS are great stops for wardrobe basics and trendy knockoffs. Everyone from CEOs to ladies who lunch adore the custom designs of KATIE FONG, another Greenwich native turned upscale fashion designer. And speaking of fashion-forward, check out the collections at MICHELLE FARMER COLLABORATE and the Italian designs at PESERICO. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the clothing and gear at New Zealand icon RODD & GUNN and Swedish icon FJÄLLRÄVEN as well as that American classic ORVIS. J. CREW is a go-to-venue for shoppers of all ages who appreciate modern styles and nicely priced cashmere. Ditto J. McLAUGHLIN on East Putnam Avenue, whose easy-to-wear designs are a classic favorite. New to the Avenue is SHE LA LA—a home décor, accessories, gift and clothing store—that also carries dresses from the Greenwich-based Persifor. Other chic boutiques to browse include new perfumerie LE LABO, WARBY PARKER, MARCUS and SHARI’S PLACE. GDV i.e. is the home accessories boutique of Grayson De Vere, an interior design and staging firm. (above)

Of course, there’s no shortage of shops for the smaller set, including newcomer EGG NEW YORK, the sweet lifestyle brand that first hatched in 2003; JACADI and JOJO MAMAN BÉBÉ for upscale baby gear; CREWCUTS (inside J.Crew) for kids and FIFI & BELLA for tweens; as well as that classic—BROOKS BROTHERS for preppy childrenswear. You’ll also find sections for kids and tweens in SPLURGE and SHOES ‘N’ MORE. SMART KIDS is the place for innovative toys and games, while the new FUNKY MONKEY TOYS & BOOKS is a treasure trove of fun for kids of all ages. For classic style at home, HOAGLANDS on the Avenue has been the preferred destination for bridal registries, elegant table settings and assorted furnishings for seven decades. Near the top of the Avenue, on West Putnam Avenue, a mini design center has flourished with WATERWORKS, CIRCA LIGHTING, OOMPH, the New Canaan-based furniture and accessories store, and the SHADE STORE. Nearby, LEICHT’S sleek kitchen design showroom is on East Putnam Avenue near modern fave MITCHELL GOLD + BOB WILLIAMS. Contemporary furnishings powerhouse ROCHE BOBOIS is directly opposite. While you’re there, take a peek at FARROW & BALL’s broad paint selection a few storefronts down. On the far side of Whole Foods is Westportbased Giles Clement’s flagship HOUSE OF CLEMENT DESIGNS. Nearby is SIMON PEARCE, whose custom glassware and beautifully crafted wooden furniture and handmade ceramics grace many a home in Greenwich. PERFECT PROVENANCE is a delightful boutique in a renovated Victorian across the street from MCCARDLES; it features products from around the world as well as a snug café. The treasured local bookstore is DIANE’S BOOKS, where many customers are on a first-name basis with Diane and her knowledgeable staff and rely on them for recommendations. While local shoppers like to indulge, everyone loves a deal, including well-heeled Greenwich residents. Each July, the streets around the Avenue fill up with cars bearing out-of-state plates as bargain hunters hit the sales racks during the annual Sidewalk Sale Days in search of deals on designer duds.

For a well-deserved break, slip inside the tranquil DREAM SPA, a lightfilled oasis one level above the Avenue, for a facial, massage or a whole new look. It’s a popular spot and reservations are recommended. Or treat yourself at any of the excellent hair and beauty salons in town. Among them are MAISON D’ALEXANDRE, PAULO LANFREDI, CHRISTOPHER NOLAND and THE COLOR CAFE.
