nepenthes ny

"Hands-down the single best clothing store in the city. The three core brands are always great, but I'm also always impressed with the thoughtful selection of other items (especially shoes and accessories) to fill out the store and the regular pop-ups and collaborations they do. The staff aren't going to fawn over you when you come in (they have better things to do), but I've always found them to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Keep an eye out for the end of season sales!"

"Been here a few time and they were whatever experiences. More recently had the displeasure of encountering an older womxn employee who was really rude and unpleasant. Extremely uncomfortable shopping experience. Got a pair of shoes, but now associate a negative experience with them. Love the store and brand, not this location. Won’t be returning."

"Everyone here and behind the Nepenthes labels makes me look and feel like a cool guy. Basic statement but if you think about it, it's profound, and is likely the reason they do what they do. Mission accomplished. What other place can a guy (who's fashionable but isn't trying to be FASHUN) go to and get this product + experience in NY? DSM? Rei Kawakub-NO. Kith? Have a 'no' with that cereal. The random goth stores in Greenwich Village? Idfk I never go in. Noah? No-ahaha. My point is, these brands and these people mirror what I think of myself and taste (cool) and so this is where I shop. I don't come here to be treated nicely, but that said I've been followed up to the second floor and I know it's because the stylish Asian woman was going to catch me if I would have fallen down the stairs. That's just the quality of her character. As for everyone else, they're the coolest type of crusty in NY, just like me. Any doubts about that? Talk to my double cloth FA pants. Edit: Music hits."

"This goes for the employees: being nice, saying “hello” or just taking care of the customer aren’t optionnel, it is part of the job. Don’t go there unless you want to feel looked down by the employees cause you are not in dressed in the Needles style. Even worse, they look bothered if you touch clothes or ask anything."

"Trendy, trendy, trendy. Beautiful fabrics, very cool designs. A great place to get inspired. That sell men and women's clothes. Shoes, bags, hats, t-shirts. Love this store. The pieces are very unique and stylish. The price range is high, but the quality and fabrics are stunning. I recommend this spot."
