  • Rag & Bone Open Boutique store in New York

    Marcus Wainwright and David Neville, of Rag & Bone fame, have opened a boutique store in New York. The 1,600-square-foot shop can be found on Christopher Street in the West Village. The store itself, from the outside at least is in keeping with the Rag & Bone aesthetic, and I could suggest that the opening of this store is the sign of a new era in flagship and retail control from a new set of brands making their mark.
