I found a number of pieces are that surprisingly "global" in fabric and textile design - Japan, India, Indonesia - with simple, clean, architectural drape and shape. The owner has a fine eye for such pieces which are hard to come by. Amanda was working when I dropped by and she is kind, helpful, really sweet - and she knows her merchandise inside and out.She's also a fine artist/painter, so her eye is fabulous. Btw: this is a fine place to buy unique items that can't be found in every other "Brooklyn" boutique in town because irony and hipsterism are held in check. Whew!

First of all, whoever is curating the selection here has seriously excellent taste. I was just resigned to following my wife and several other members of her family on a tour of the neighborhood boutiques, and I couldn't help but be intrigued immediately. The shop is MUCH larger than it looks from the street, and it houses an eclectic and funky mix of furniture, artwork, footwear, knicknacks,, jewelry, mugs, home decor...not just women's clothing, as you find at many shops. Basically, there was a lot for me to check out as my wife perused (and bought from) the clothing racks. There's also a $5 rack, which anyone can get down with. And when you finally get bored because your wife is much slower than you are, they have a very comfortable couch (for sale) and an original Nintendo (not for sale, for play) hooked up to the flatscreen on the wall. BRILLIANT. Yes, I did play the first Super Mario Bros until I was dragged out. No, I only made it to 8-2. Yes, I'm losing my touch. Yes, Unearth is the spot.

I was absolutely devastated when they closed up their old location a couple of years ago. There really is no replacement for HW, as well as its mission to serve the AIDS/HIV population. Also, with the change in the retail corridors in BK heights as well as Dobro (no more 99 cent stores!!), it really was a trememendous loss. So, I am beyond thrilled that Housing Works is back on Montague Street (and in a location much closer to my apartment, to my financial detriment!) The newer storefront feels a tad smaller than the old space, but with a similar layout. Clothing and accessories in front, housewares towards the back, with the donations area at the back wall. The selection seemed more thoughtfully curated, if a little thin. Housewares and bric a brac organized and styled aesthetically by color. Clothing styles were mixed and a little on the higher end, but this reflected some items that were newer or with tags. For ladies, there were some gems by Derek Lam, Coach, Rag and Bone, DVF and Theory. Some brand new coach coats with tags for $150. I didn't get anything but I'll definitely check back in periodically.
