.202 in 212

Who says you have to move to the suburbs to enjoy convenient one-stop shopping?

Have all your needs met at 202, designer Nicole Farhi’s unique store in the Chelsea Market that features a high-end collection of fashion and home decor plus an excellent café.

Farhi’s easy, functional tailoring is evident in both her women’s and menswear collections, which line garment racks appealingly scattered among the house wares and antique furnishings. Raw fabrics, natural hues, and unstructured shapes define her signature style.

The home collection includes textiles, ceramics, and glass, and embodies Farhi’s personal aesthetic of bringing together the old and the new.

Take a break from your shopping at the adjoining café and brasserie, where you can enjoy something from the casual menu. Then browse an eclectic mix of antiques hand-picked by Farhi from her extensive travels.

Food, finds, or fashion, 202 has it all. Just save your trip for a weekday or you’ll feel like you ended up at the mall.
