8 Best Places to Shop in Meatpacking District, New York City

You don't have to be in the market for a plush sofa or a chandelier to appreciate a stroll through the massive, six-story, 90,000-square-foot space of RH (Restoration Hardware), with sections that include those for babies and teens, a soaring central atrium, and a glass elevator to whisk you to the leafy rooftop terrace. There, a restaurant serves elevated comfort food such as crisp Caesar salads, juicy rib-eye steaks, and spicy lobster rolls. And who knows? You might just end up leaving with a cool vintage-looking lamp, too.

At this light-filled New York flagship, try on the iconic DVF wrap dress in myriad patterns. The blouses, shorts, and skirts are equally feminine.

This new two-story, 9,000-square-foot Gucci store has its own unique character, setting it apart from the brand's other locations around the city: the Meatpacking outlet focuses more on accessories and has a pleasing vintage-meets-industrial vibe. You'll find handbags, luggage, and jewelry on the ground floor and men's and women's ready-to-wear couture on the upper floor. Even if you're not ready to whip out your wallet here, the Gucci store is still a spectacle to see with your own eyes. 

Opened in spring 2019, this Hermès location raised eyebrows simply because it was rubbing proverbial elbows with plebeian shops and restaurants. But have no fear, you can still get that crocodile skin handbag here for the price of a small Parisian apartment. The two-floor, 5,330-square-foot space also has a nice waiting area where you can sip coffee and even charge your phone while your shopping companion maxes out the credit card.

The Meatpacking District really arrived when this Atlanta-based mini Barneys opened its doors. You can find an incredible array of designer shoes—Valentino and red-soled Christian Louboutins are some of the best sellers—plus top labels such as Yves Saint Laurent and Lanvin for both men and women.

In early 2023, this 70-year-old Spanish brand, famed for its porcelain lamps, chandeliers, figurines, jewelry, and candleholders, opened this shop—its first high-concept, immersive store in the United States. Shoppers might wonder if they're in an actual store or a museum/gallery as the avant-garde design is as easy on the eyes as the products for sale.

This is the first boutique from Nigel Curtiss, who got his start at Comme des Garçons and Yves Saint Laurent. The handsome shop sells men's and women's wear, including Curtiss's polo shirts, popular with superstar athletes, as well as silk pajamas, jeans, and off-the-rack suits. There's an in-store coffee bar for those who shop 'til they drop.

Make a beeline to this boutique if you like glowing, happy colors and 1970's-influenced clothing. The shop, designed by Jonathan Adler, showcases Turk's ready-to-wear clothing in a bright, airy setting. Swimwear is a standout, and menswear is also sold here.
