Had to take a full day out of my schedule (lost valuable freelance project time) to travel to this upscale shop and meet with the owner. Owner was quite busy, but gracious enough to give me her full attention while I presented my portfolio. We discussed ideas for their logo redesign and poster project. I gave a project quote and requested to be paid upon completion. Total mistake. The following day, I emailed her assistant 4 different concept sketches so that we may move forward (job ad claimed this was a job with a tight deadline and required several revisions). No answer. Several days later, I emailed asking for an update. No answer until about a week later. I get some pretentious 'we're having such a busy season, we cannot answer your email at the moment.' Ridiculous. It's been well over a month and I have never gotten a response back. I am a beginner at freelance work and have been struggling to land a full-time design-related position. I like to work with family owned companies, and this is the most unprofessional flaky experience so far. I don't recommend working with this company.

Lo and behold as soon as he looked at it, he immediately knew the T-shirt was too small. I was able to mail it to Tom and he sent me the size back that I needed. Now that's customer service!

A beautiful tree-lined classic West Village street is home to an equally wonderful boutique…read more Albertine is one of those quiet gems of a store that has an exciting, unique collection and perfect staff. On a more personal note, I visited Albertine three times before deciding to feature it on The Boutique of the Week, not because I was wary of the selection, but the price is higher than my norm. However, Albertine truly is too good to pass up and is the perfect place to splurge and treat yourself to an amazing piece (or two, or three...). The jewelry is the best feature of Albertine and will have you coming back just to drool over it. The exquisitely edited collection is priced from $100 to a steep $1,000+. The beautiful vintage pieces are displayed in glass cases, but touching and dressing up is encouraged. Delicate necklaces share a wall with leather cuffs, and pendants of owls and horns share a case with a silver snake ring and jade earrings. Prices can only be found out from a large binder where handwritten notes and photos document the inventory. The womenswear boasts up-and-coming designers and custom-made pieces that are feminine and vintage-inspired ranging from $150-600+. Flowy fabrics in all colors can be found in floor-length silk gowns and highly-structured bomber jackets. The cozy store normally only has one or two sizes displayed, but the staff is happy to find you the perfect fit in the back. A Victorian couch faces a large mirror for ample viewing, and you can even sometimes find the owner's dog napping as the eclectically chic staff offers spot-on critiques and styling tips.

Giant drag-queen necklace sets, well-maintained, stunning to behold! While not inexpensive, they are very well-priced for what they are, and with bulk purchases come the potential for a break on the overall price. Since the pandemic, I've been unable to get back to NYC to visit this enticing store, so instead I periodically contact the owner, Ron and ask him if there is anything new that I would like. He knows my style, sends me pictures, and I've purchased 4 necklace sets from him in this way. Shipping is VERY reasonable, items are packed well, and I get the joy of continuing to shop at his store safely from the comfort of my own home! You can bet that the next time I'm in NYC, I'll DEFINITELY be stopping back in again!

Like the owner has responded to everyone's comments, this place is not a run of the mill thrift shop, but rather a vintage boutique so things aren't going to be at a thrift shop price and that is okay. I personally couldn't fork out money for any of the vintage pieces, but I did buy a cute pair of vintage inspired sunglasses from here for about $20 if I remember the price correctly. At the least, give the store a try to see if there's anything you want to buy. It's fun to look around and see all the celebrities that the owner has pictures with on the walls.
