Ramy Brook to Open N.Y. Store

Ramy Brook, the contemporary sportswear and handbag company, is ready to take the retail plunge.

The four-year-old company, which sells to stores such as Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as Shopbop.com, will open its first retail store at 22 Prince Street in NoLIta on Sept. 26. The 360-square-foot shop will carry Ramy Brook's tops, dresses, skirts, pants, jumpsuit and cover-ups, as well as handbags that launch at retail this fall, and exclusive jewelry.A rendering of Ramy Brook's first boutique, which opens next month in New York's NoLIta neighborhood.

"We'll use every inch of it," said Ramy Sharp, president and creative director. She chose the neighborhood because "it's hip and cool and a great place to browse," noting stores such as Haute Hippie, Maje, Sandro and Vince are all neighbors. "It's like a mall on the weekends, it's packed," she said.
