An East Village boutique has opened its second location in Park Slope. Owner Grace King chose Park Slope for, you guessed it, its family friendly vibe.
Yes, Pink Olive has baby but they also spotlight the arts, indie designers, vintage finds, and home décor. Original artwork will regularly be exhibited, with the first being the whimsical work of Los Angeles-based painter Marisa Haedike of Creative Thursday.
The new Park Slope space captures the essence of Pink Olive, with exposed brick, wooden floors, and original high ceilings. Inside the 700 square foot space, Pink Olive will carry an array of new designers, including Cocoon Couture from Australia, Pink Chicken, Dwell Studio, Kamibashi, Me! Bath, Nantaka Joy, and Blissen by Jill Bliss. For baby, Pink Olive carries brands BlaBla, Catfish, Jelly Cat, Trumpette, Amy Tangerine, Giddy Giddy, Zid Zid, and more. For gifts, selections from Erica Weiner, Beth Mueller, Leather Zoo, Knock Knock, Jenny Sweeney Designs, Snow & Graham, and My Favorite Mirror. For home & spa, Pink Olive features Matta, Lollia, Geodesis, Gianna Rose Atelier, and Soapylove. Pink Olive is also collaborating with Soapylove to be their US flagship store, carrying their entire line of Soapsicles in both boutiques as well as online. Another draw is vintage jewelry and accessories handpicked by Grace that will create a homey feel for the new store.
“My vision behind Pink Olive has always been to have little pink olives in different locations where local residents as well as visitors can find something unique for themselves and for gift-giving,” said Grace, previously a buyer for Barney’s New York and Bloomingdale’s. “The concept will continue to promote unique gifts for happiness and home.”
