Shibui

Vinegar Hill

From owner Dane Owen: A love of beauty runs in my blood. My father was a goldsmith, my mother studied and practiced ikebana, and they filled my years at home with thoughtful beauty. I made my first gold ring at ten, and worked in my father's jewelry store until I left home at eighteen. During the subsequent years,my general appreciation of beauty matured into a lasting fascination with Asian arts, and I began collecting Japanese antiques. My criterion for obtaining these items was the same then as it is now: a rare, palpable essence of quality and timeless beauty. The Japanese have a word for such beauty: Shibui. To enhance my understanding of the eastern aesthetic that so enthralled me, I studied the classics at St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I had taken my beautiful surroundings for granted before, but at college I learned just how important they were to me. My new home was an aesthetic void - a cold, bare cinderblock dorm room. I felt bereft in these sterile quarters,but on a student budget I could no longer afford to live amid the beauty that nourished me. Still, I knew I wouldn't be happy until I did. Over time, this lack of beauty and funds gave me an idea: I could send for the objects that made my last home so beautiful, and sell a few to finance the shipping. When I put them on the market, the interest that met these eastern antiques was overwhelming. As it turned out, I wasn't the only person in the desert who loved the elegant simplicity of Asian art. People were hungry for more, so I began to furnish them. It was my junior year in college, and Shibui was born. Since graduating, I have worked exclusively to develop Shibui and make it accessible to people around the world. I continue to study and increase my familiarity with things Shibui, and strive to acquire one-of-a-kind merchandise that can transform and enrich any setting. At Shibui, I do what I love: share my passion with others and add beauty to their lives. Thank you for your interest in our collection; we hope it will enhance your life as well.

The Disney Store - Times Square

Theater District

Disney's newest flagship store in Times Square.

Bauman Rare Books

Midtown

For those truly hard-to-find, rare, luxurious, leather-bound impressive tomes.

Forbidden Planet

East Village

Located at the nexus of Greenwich Village and the East Village—arguably the epicenter of Manhattan's comic-loving population—Forbidden Planet is packed to the rafters with graphic novels, manga, single issues, statuettes and maquettes. Models of favorite and obscure machines and characters from films and books.

Cartier - Fifth Ave

Midtown

This is Cartier's Fifth Avenue flagship, with stunning displays and offerings to rival any other jeweler in the world. If you are looking for the perfect gift (for yourself or someone else…) and you have money to burn, Cartier is your best bet. Their classic "Love" bracelet is one of the most coveted jewelry items on the planet, and nothing symbolizes elegance more than a Cartier timepiece.

Vera Wang - Madison Ave

Upper East Side

Once the ultimate name in wedding gowns, Vera Wang still retains that crown, but has now branched into other things as well. In addition to a successful diffusion line for Kohl's that debuted last year, Wang also makes gorgeous dresses that may be for a big, special day, but not necessarily that big, special day. They're all silk satin and chiffon and ultra feminine and gorgeous, and soft colors abound in her stunning boutiques.

Exit 9 Gift Store

East Village

Extremely cool store on lower Avenue A filled with exciting gifts, most of which you'd rather keep for yourself than give away. Very helpful service as well as website from which you can order directly if you haven't time to go in person. If you can't find what you're looking for, the staff is ready to assist in finding it.

Babesta Threads

Tribeca

For your cool babies, toddlers and kids, Babesta offers everything from Che tanks, Ramones concert tees, record player retro raglans and Trumpette sneaker–socks to the tunes that they really tune into–like Music for Aardvarks, Putumayo Kids' Reggae Playground and Dan Zanes' cult favorites. You decide if his genetic marker for cool came from the X or the Y (probably both!), but he's a Babesta for sure if he snuggles up with Ugly Dolls and Pooki pets, and insists on mischievously modern furniture from standouts like Oeuf and Duc Duc New York. Babesta's artists and designers have made it their life's work to stylize kids and their cribs. This hip boutique full of unique children's designs has everything that he will need to cultivate his discriminating taste palate and accessorize his (sometimes) raging attitude.

Christian Louboutin — Madison Ave

Upper East Side

The name made famous by its sexy stilettos and fire engine red soles is now worshipped by shoe fans all over the world. At Louboutin's boutiques you'll be able to find the shoe that your favorite celebrity was spotted in on the red carpet, as well as some of the comfiest 5-inch heels on the market…but buyer beware, these peep-toes and pumps can cost you a seriously pretty penny.

Sephora — Times Square

Theater District

This makeup superstore is a wonderland for the girly girl inside us all! From fragrances for him and her, to eye shadow, to mascara, to bubble bath, to shampoo and everything in between, you can find anything you need beauty-wise at Sephora. Most notable is the perfume section, with many hard-to-find European brands.
