Suite Orchard

Designed to resemble a modern French boudoir, with gray-white-and-pink-striped walls and sleek furniture, this two-year-old spot from New York City natives Sonia and Cindy Huang is a melting pot of the siblings' favorite labels. Cindy, who designed for Diane von Furstenberg, and Sonia, a fashion-industry veteran on the wholesale side, produce their own line of sweet dresses: Soni & Cindy, which mingles here with supremely wearable picks by Karen Walker and Hanii Y. 145A Orchard St. LES 212-533-4115, suiteorchard.com

TG170

In 1992, when owner Terri Ann Gillis had just graduated from art school and had no money, she took over this storefront as a live/work space. Rent was cheap and it allowed her—and her artist friends—a pressure-free showcase to sell one-off pieces. While it's now the area's most venerable boutique—offering established labels like Sunshine & Shadow and Vivienne Westwood—it has preserved its studio-like vibe and continues to launch the careers of many young designers. 170 Ludlow St. LES 212-995-8660, tg170.com
