Birdcage, the new concept “shop-in-shop” on Lord & Taylor’s second floor is the newest (and coolest) thing in NYC’s shopping landscape. Launching on Thursday, this boutique inside New York’s beloved department store will feature carefully-curated pieces from NYC-based creatives — think crafty clutches, quirky-shaped jewelry, edgy home goods and beauty products you won’t find on those late-night trips to Duane Reade.
Throughout the season, Birdcage will feature trunk shows and events with emerging and established local brands that are sure to feed your retail lovin’ soul. Take a peek at what can be shopped now:
