It’s the local luxe spot that turns “going shopping” into an event.

Holzweiler is a family-run Norwegian label proving that Scandinavian style can be playful, not just pared-back. Launched with a line of quality scarves in wild prints, the brand quickly expanded into ready-to-wear that blends easy elegance with a dash of whimsy. Think slouchy cashmere sweaters, vibrant raincoats, and tailored trousers – all with that Nordic knack for simplicity and function. Holzweiler’s pieces are future-facing (they love sustainable materials) yet rooted in everyday wearability. It’s the kind of clothing you’ll throw on in the morning and feel instantly put-together, whether you’re roaming Oslo’s streets or just running for coffee.

The Primary Essentials is the Brooklyn shop where mundane meets magical. This independent boutique (opened by tastemaker Lauren Snyder) elevates primary essentials of daily living through exquisite design. Shelves are lined with things like hand-thrown ceramics, small-batch apothecary goods, linen kitchen towels, and coffee table books – each item carefully chosen to bring beauty to routine. The style is minimal but warm, with an emphasis on craftsmanship and materials that age gracefully. Whether you’re picking up a scented candle or a stoneware mug, you know it’s going to become your new favorite thing. It’s everyday living, but profoundly prettier.
