Yesterday I happened upon a new store on Fifth Street just East of Fifth Avenue (343 Fifth Street) called Urban Alchemist and it’s owned by five designers.  In addition to jewelry, they will also be selling vintage furniture, home goods, lamps, bags, and T-shirts.

There’s a a lot of great stuff in the shop already. I took a bunch of pictures, which I will post later. Here’s the word from co-owner Rebecca Shepherd, who is one of the jewelry designers, about this lovely new shop:

I would like to announce that I have opened a store in my beloved Park
Slope Brooklyn! We are called Urban Alchemist and are located at 343
5th street between 5th and 6th av. Our co-op is made up of 5 Brooklyn
Designers including my line, Esewara (my partner), Via Nativa,
Re-surface lighting and Loyalty&Blood. We welcome you to our design
studio! Come by for a glass of wine, coffee or tea. If your lucky,
you’ll come by on a day I bring homemade chocolate chip cookies!
