    Our jewelry brand is displayed at Flying Solo from Nov-Jan 2022. If you are a designer/brand or a company looking to have a presence in New York City, this is the review that you must read - Flying solo is a scam and avoid at all costs. Our brand is carried in over 46 stores across the country including department stores like Nordstroms. The sales have been crazy despite the pandemic, so when flying solo reached out to me to represent our brand for the holiday season, I did not hesitate nor I did my research. Here are my experience with them, 1. Extremely unethical. I walked into their store unannounced and found out that we are displayed in a half tank space ( $650/m) while we paid for a full tank space for $1500. Our display is sharing the same tank with another jewelry brand who also paid for the full tank space. They over-sold their space for the holiday season and hope no brands would notice this scam since most brands are not local and they don't have the luxury to just visit the store themselves. I am pretty sure this is management's idea. 2. No Traffic. The store is dead. I was quite shocked that we sold 3 pieces in the entire Nov ( we usually sell 2-3 pieces A DAY in a store just several blocks north to flying solo). I stopped by the store to collect feedback and was told by the store manager that Flying solo doesn't drive its own traffic and solely relies on tourist walk-ins. Brands is responsible for driving their own traffic, and only use flying solo for display purposes. They suggest we do shoutouts across social medias and send customers over to the store to make a purchase. Before I leave, one of the store staff ask me " you are here for 2 hours already, do you see a single soul walk in here? No! You need to drive your own traffic!" Gosh, it is the holiday season in new york. 3. Irresponsible and damaged our inventory. Our inventory is returned in a big box without any bubble wraps, nor cushion to protect the jewelry. They just threw everything in like garbage. See pics attached. Multiple pieces are damaged, several are missing, and two don't even belong to us. I emailed them four times in a week, copied the founder. No response, no refund on damaged and missing items, even until today ( April 1). They simply choose to ignore. Eye-opening. 4. Unprofessional and money-driven culture. They don't care to drive traffic because they don't make money from the sales in stores, they make money by selling their space to brands. If you think they would care about brands, you are wrong. They think tons of international brands would want to be presented in new york, they are not short of supply of brands. There retention rate of brands is 1-2% so they only focus on getting new brands in. There are a lot other stores that host events, work on digital marketing/ads to drive traffic for their brands. Save your money and go somewhere else. 5. PR is another scam. It is really for a bunch of digital magazines you have never heard of. Even google won't find them. So if you think this is another perk, you are thinking too much.

    My rack at Flying Solo!

    I am a designer of Feel Confidence brand! I would like to share my amazingly experience with Flying Solo, I want to thank this store for such an incredible opportunity of my life for my brand! My brand is selling very well at the store, team is amazing, the way I have my pieces at the store is so nice and caring. As a designer i would like to say that the beginning of the story to have your own small busses which you want to build big in the future is a lot of small steps and time, to see the way how it goes, each step is an experience which values a lot. Even when I have some weeks of no sales I don't give up, first of all it's an opportunity to have my brand in New York at such a cool boutique in Soho! And secondly It's a journey which you should take seriously and still work on your brand, on the Instagram, advertising and a lot of many other things. Thank you Flying Solo! I'm so happy!

    Went in to find a wedding guest dress and peak at the summer collections. Not one sales associate acknowledged me. They glared at me and didn't even greet me. I walked near all of them, and they all were extremely rude. I get this often as a person of color, but rarely In New York. POC THIS PLACE DOESN'T DESERVE YOUR MONEY.

    Great store with lots of interesting designers and unique designs.

    Solomeina jewelry! Masterpiece!!!

    Beautiful stuff! I loved so much pieces here from jewelry (Amazing & unique one of a kind! ) to shoes & clothes! There is apparently 30 designers from all over the world- from Brazil to Russia! You get pieces from actual designers who more than happy to hear what you think about their art! That's is as closest as you can get to designer authentic samples! Personally chose this masterpiece from Solomeina jewelry!

    Cool guys with cool concept behind.

    Lovely store with independent designers. It's such a cool concept behind - 30 or 40 fashion designers opened and running it by themselves. Wide selection of different styles. People in the store are very welcoming and generally warm atmosphere. They suggested me even hot tea as i was totally wet after the rain. Really good quality. Definetely my new favourite fashion destination now.

    This is my favourite place to shop in NYC, by far. The collection is stylish, singular and ethical…read more The owner is genuine and has an eye for what fits you and what doesn't. Warmly recommended. You will come out looking more stylish than you ever have.

    This edgy boutique in Chelsea will soon become a favorite with urban, handmade, and eco-friendly…read moreclothes - you'll definitely keep coming back to check out the large selection of "wearable art." Such interesting pieces can be found as an origami-structured suits or basic knitwear with unexpected details. Lingo has pieces that allow anyone to show a little personality edge without standing too far out in the crowd. With brands such as Prairie Underground (great organic sweat shirts), Butter dresses, Nature vs. Nurture, Kelly Lane, and Filly, you are sure to find something quirky and unique. The owner Shin Yee Man knows how to choose clothes that are accessible enough for everyone, but have a one-of-a-kind, handmade quality that makes them more personal. A favorite is Cinderloop's grey draped tunic with uncommon red string that tucks and pulls to create a unique shape ($148). Most dresses range from $100-$180 and tops from $30-$100. Some collections are by local designers and organic and handmade pieces can easily be found. The accessories are just as unique as the clothes, with purses, belts, hats, wallets, clutches, earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces found throughout the store. Eccentric bright jewelry are made of beads, feathers, string, precious stones, and silver and range from $20-$150, with the most unique rings made from Horn and Seed Pod for $20-$90. The one-of-a-kind custom leather belts have intricate buckles and are worn in beautifully ($100-$150). Featured Boutique July 2009 - The Boutique of the Week
