Top 10 Shops to Drain your Bank Account
-
1. Louis, Boston
Louis offers the city’s most rarified shopping experience. The main attractions here are classically handsome Brioni suits, sharp Jil Sander leather pumps, and Apothecary cosmetics.
-
2. Shreve, Crump & Low
The country’s oldest retail jeweler has seen its diamonds grace the fingers of some of modern history’s most famous – and fortunate – figures. Shreve’s sterling silver is also highly coveted.
-
3. Alan Bilzerian
From a $4,000 John Galliano silk dress to a skimpy camouflage Christian Dior bikini, Alan Bilzerian is the place to go for high-end fashion that exudes personality.
-
4. Ermenegildo Zegna
For the successful business-man whose daydreams feature a vintage Ferrari and the Sardinian coast, Zegna fits like a glove. Classic Italian suits and ties that are unrivaled for style and quality.
-
5. Zóe Home
This bright boutique offers vibrant, playfully designed contemporary furniture that screams “unique.” Choose from plush retro divans, utilitarian rolling desks, and whimsical decorative lighting.
-
6. Autrefois Antiques
Autrefois specializes in French and Italian furnishings from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, like Louis XV gilded mirrors, Art Deco dining chairs, and wildly abstract iron sconces.
-
7. Lux, Bond & Green
While not quite as prestigious as its neighbor Shreve, Green still manages with Tag Heuer watches, Mikimoto pearls, and Garavelli diamonds at prices that remain this side of the stratosphere.
-
8. Priscilla of Boston
Boston’s bridal gown queen has been helping to make weddings unforgettable for 50 years. Should you require a fitting, it is recommended that you call ahead.
-
9. Akris
Footware by Jimmy Choo and Stuart Wietzman claim the back of the store, while cashmere suits, evening gowns, and luxurious coats rule the racks up front.
-
10. Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland
Relishing a Teuscher truffle ranks among life’s greatest pleasures. Perhaps no other chocolatier in the world gets the alchemy quite so right.
