Backwoods is a smart stop whether you are in Times Square or Jackson Heights. If you are looking for a gift for yourself or someone else - this place has a collection of clothing and affordable accessories to chose from. Warning though - it might be hard to pick just one! Backwoods is also a life saver if you forgot a hat, gloves or scarf at home. You can easily pick one up on the go. Special Note: Backwoods scarves are great for when you need to dress up or down an outfit, and when you or a loved one are going through cancer. If you have not tried them yet, try them for a summer dress or skirt this year. By Relevant Views 6.16.2024 read more

Good bohemian finds, love this place! Everything is affordable, and unique. I love this place! Will be getting gifts here for Christmas!

Absolutely gorgeous collection of jewelry and dresses plus accessories at a great price!

With time to spare and in search to bring my summer wardrobe to life I stopped by this 42nd Street/ Eighth Avenue, Port Authority subway station mezzanine level before you exit the MTA subway turnstile. This location is the annex to the Jackson Heights, Queens location which is smaller tighter space and no fitting rooms. There is a large dressing room mirror and the sales associate/ cashier stated you can wear the clothing over your body or wrap around your body for size approximation. I choose one simple black and white skirt $10.00 which unbeknownst to me it contains a small stain. The stain is visible when one closely exams it. I doubt the longevity usage wear of this skirt. Jewelry zinc and silver are a good selection, and clothing appeared ethnic inspired but not stored properly. read more

Backwoods - Accessories Near Me - New York, New York

Jewelry is my business, I've worked in the industry for many years and I still love their zinc jewelry. Excellent quality I still have pieces from a year or two ago (purchased from other locations). I love that some of the zinc necklaces are some of the same silhouettes you will find in your gold and silver plate as well as some really unique silhouettes. It's easy to shop this store, it's not huge but the layout utilizes all the space. The guy at the counter let's you do your thing. He sits and chills on the computer. I mention this because usually with smaller stores they are on you and watching like hawks at every thing you look at and touch. The product is a mix of ethnic jewelry, accessories and clothing with some trend costume jewelry you can find along broadway. You can find printed pashminas as well as basic A-line and sheath dresses with cool patterns. Store is merchandised well, you can see every thing hanging clearly. Necklaces aren't tangled on the pegs, neither are the hangers on the racks ( a huge pet peeve of mine ). I purchased two pairs of very comfortable, handmade in Turkey shoes along with a zinc necklace. Very happy!!!! read more

Note that they're located in the subway station at 42nd Street/8th Avenue - and they also have a location in the subway station at 74th Street/Roosevelt Avenue. I've been to this store a few times - including yesterday - and they have a nice selection of very colorful clothes & accessories, plus the prices are quite reasonable. The people working there are variable in terms of friendliness, but meanwhile the selection and prices are much better than at most places. read more

STUPENDOUS! INCREDIBLE! EPIC! I absolutely love the store! Where else can you find amazingly designed costume jewelry that stops people in their tracks? nowhere except Backwoods ! also they are super honest people, I left my pocketbook which has my entire life in it, at the store, and they made sure that it was returned to me. Wonderful store and wonderful people, please patronize them, especially during the holidays! Love Marni !!! read more

Doesn't exist , walked in circles - said it was open, but it was empty. 1 star because it made us pay attention to surrounding area.

I love backwoods because it's; stylish. afordable. crowd-free. eclectic. colorful. read more

Really cute clothes! I've bought lots of nice things from there. It's a great place to find unique styles and convenient because it's right off the A/C so it's perfect. I go often even if I can't find what I want it's worth going in to look. When I go back again I find something I like. 5 stars! read more

Backwoods Accessories, located in the 74th St Subway Station, Jackson Heights, Queens NY. This is the best accessories store that I have been to in all of NYC. Born & raised to shop, in NYC, I have a lot of experience knowing where to get good accessories, at the right price, and excellent quality. The gentleman that works their, doing the week, is so helpful and courteous! Even though the store is small, the shopping experience is tremendous! The jewelry is exceptional. The way the light hits the jewelry, it makes me want to buy everything that glitters. I purchased 3 lovely/trendy sweaters that are gorgeous. My co-workers asked where I got the black long shiny cardigan. They want to go to Backwoods ASAP. I can't wait to take the train just from Brooklyn to Jackson Heights, so I can shop there again. It's fun-either bring a friend and make an afternoon out of it, or shop alone, and experience whatever Backwoods has to offer. Trust me, once you visit there shop, you will have to go back immediately after! read more

Backwoods is a hidden gem in the basement of Port Authority. They have an insane variety and styles of jewelry & clothing. Their items are inexpensive and on par with trends & current styles. You have to take the time to look around - you will find hidden treasures here, there and everywhere. Great for gift giving any time of the year! An A+ for one-stop jewelry and clothing shopping. read more

Is this the same place that's in the Port Authority ACE station? Because THAT place is the BEST. Cheap cheap cheap cheap, but AWESOME. Beautiful clothes! Great sweaters for winter, great summery tops for summer. Bangin. read more

Finally! A store with beautiful, ethnic inspired clothing and jewelry that is affordable and close to where I work. Backwoods in located in the Port Authority subway station on the lower level, through the turnstiles, just above the uptown A,C and E trains (downstairs from the Bolton's). I decided to walk in because I saw a large wall of earrings as I was passing by. Those items weren't my style - lots of blingy bridesmaid type stuff. But when I ventured further toward the back of this small store - JACKPOT! Beautiful jewelry from Turkey - DIFFERENT beautiful jewelry (i.e. not what you'll find at H&M or Forever 21) between 5 and 10 bucks per pair. There was also a vast selection of very pretty Indian style dresses and tunics and unusual zinc statement necklaces hanging on the wall for twenty bucks, but I think that's a bit much for them. However, you probably won't see everyone else wearing them, and for that alone I guess it's worth it. The salesman was very nice and put up with my indecision about a dress vs. a shirt. The dresses seem made for smaller women (I'm a size 12 and the XL dress I chose was a little snug on the top but still fit). Stick with the tops if you're on the larger side and give yourself enough room for shrinking if it's cotton. I'll return to Backwoods for sure because I haven't seen any accessories places around that have such lovely things for non-crazy prices. read more

Bestest zinc and silver Turkish jewelry ever. I want to sell your products as added vendor !

This place has the BEST prices and beautiful selections. I always stop in on the way to LaGuardia on the train when I'm visiting NYC.

Backwoods has been a go-to of mine for years, particularly for jewelry. I've gotten some fabulous chunky silver pieces which always get compliments. It's also great for scarves. There's always a cute little pick-me-up waiting for you there for just a few dollars, whether it's sunglasses, gloves, earrings or whatever. They seem to always have something of the moment. The clothes are super-cute - tops, sweaters, especially dresses - but generally a bit young for me (I'm a woman of a certain age). A great place for gifts for yourself or friends/family. read more

I've been a customer when Backwoods was in a little tent in Columbus Circle before the Time Warner building was built. Then I followed them to 57th street between 8th and 9th avenues. I love their jewelry, scarves, summer clothes (dresses, tops, and skirts) and their sweaters for winter. Their 57th street shop closed, but now you can find them in the Port Authority by the 42nd street and 8th avenue exit. Cheap prices and lots of variety!!! read more

Walked by on the way to a play in the subway station at 42nd Street/8th Avenue. Came back next day to shop. Really cute Indian clothes at $10 and $20 each. read more

I have been looking for the name of this place for the past year! I seriously love Backwoods. A friend told me about Backwoods about 3 years ago and I finally went with her then to see what she was raving about. I see why. First of all, when you walk in, you get an unsurpassed ambiance of care and coziness. I know it sounds silly--I mean, it is only a boutique after all, but there is something so warming about the store. The staff is amazing, friendly, and really care about you. I originally went to purchase some long skirts (something I barely find and have to order over the internet usually) but left with scarves, gloves, and some jewelry. I really love how they have such beautiful, unique pieces that you can't find in main-stream retail stores. Their prices are really unbeatable for a Manhattan boutique. I always wonder in the back of my mind what new things they have out that I am missing out on. Cannot wait to check them out again! read more

backwoods has a new great selection of tops + dresses from their showroom -- one of a kind -- they are unique + inexpensive 12.99 to 20.00 bucks -- wonderful sandals from India -- very Vogue for 10.00 bucks -- where can you dress from top to toe for so little --- check 'em out -- I just got a pair of sandals -- gold -- so sharp --- see you there !!! read more

Backwoods is a friendly, stylish, and very affordable womens clothing and jewelry store that also carries small gifts (like picture frames, small boxes, decorative pillow covers and throws, and even the occasional stuffed animal!) It's like Cheers, the TV show, in that after one or two visits everybody knows your name, remembers your taste and style choices and makes you feel very welcome. John, Consuela, Maria, Clare....they are incredibly helpful when you want help and fine with letting you nose around on your own, when that is your preference. They carry regular and plus sizes. Their inventory is always getting new things. Se Habla Espanol, tambien. Their selection of scarves is always amazing. I also adore their sterling silver earring selection. There is huge range of styles from classic to cutting edge. They have $5 and $10 sales very frequently which ensures a continual flow of new pieces. They are located right near Fordham University's Lincoln Center Campus, Roosevelt Hospital, TimeWarner, Hearst Publications and John Jay College and Newsweek, so your fellow shoppers are always an interesting and lively mix. It's great that they carry clothing for the season we are actually in! If I lost my gloves in February, I know Backwoods will have cute affordable gloves on sale, not bathing suits! I've been shopping here for many years and have always loved getting my style at a bargain rate while having great customer service, as well. It is a real gem! Go and tell them "Cousin Lee" said "hi"! read more
