There’s a new store on Fifth Avenue next door to Cocotte, the delightful and popular French restaurant, near 4th Street. It’s called Brooklyn Mercantile. OSFO and I looked in the front window the other night and it looked to me like it might be something along the lines of Cog and Pearl, beautiful items made from found, antique or recycled materials.

The shop, which seems to sell objects for the home, bags, jewelry, quilts, and other items, looks stylish and very attractive. Can’t wait to actually go in.

Brooklyn Mercantile is not replacing another shop. I believe it was a residential storefront prior to it’s new life as a Fifth Avenue shop.

Savvy, savvy Brooklyn Mercantile: I just found their website. So here’s the blurb and info:

Brooklyn Mercantile is located in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn.
