Handvaerk was founded in New York in 2013 by Saba and Brichnacova, who serves as the brand’s creative director. The new 450-square foot store is located at 1225 Madison Avenue between East 88th and 88th. Brichnacova used natural materials including wood, concrete, and lime-wash with furnishings from Frama and Audo for the intimate space. The store is a minimalist’s paradise with pieces including alpaca knit pieces from Peru and merino styles made in Italy.

The brand has become a cult favorite with tech executives and has found an audience in Southampton where they opened a store last year on Main Street. We’re told the Madison Avenue location is just a hint at big things to come!
