You don't have to be HRH to to shop at the newly opened
Duke and Duchess on South Park Street. I'm sure I wasn't the only person pushing my nose to the glass in late December as Aldrick Bradley and Antony Hine worked to get their new fashion-forward Montclair boutique open to the public. The minimalist and urban-edgy interior and elegantly spaced clothing racks beckoned, and, having stopped in last Saturday to check out the threads, I can report there's now a place for the Barney's crowd to pick up a top or frock and at much better than Manhattan prices.
A welcome addition, if you ask me, and more in keeping with the Montclair I remember before Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie brought their studied chain store artsy-ness to town. Have you ever wondered how all the clothes in Anthropologie cost about the same? What is up with that $128 price point, anyway? Is that the perfectly researched profit margin price?
Speaking of threads, however, if you're interested in supporting local boutique talent and your esthetic runs more to a Cape Coddish/Martha's Vineyard weekender, do check out
Thread on Watchung. We don't really need small business Saturday to get us to shop local, do we?
