Rackage is a look inside recently-opened stores around town. Today, let's gaze upon Lambertson Truex's fancy UES flagship.
After hitting the Whitney Biennial last week, Racked meandered down Madison Avenue and peeked into the new flagship for American luxury house Lambertson Truex at 692 Madison between 62nd and 63rd Streets. Opened back in September, the chic bi-level store features women's handbags and accessories on the first floor, and women's and men's shoes up-and-around the spiral staircase on a second level. The outpost marks the brand's foray into the New York market; they have one store on Melrose in LA and a forthcoming shop scheduled for Vegas, but, locally, shoppers previously could find them only at high-end retailers like Berdorf Goodman.

A new clothing shop promises to put all others to shame on the Upper East Side. "...2,500-square-foot store Edit (1368 Lexington Ave., nr. 91st St.; 212-876-1368)...could be the fashion love child of Bergdorf Goodman and Intermix. True to its name, the two-story boutique, which looks like an elegant townhouse, will offer a tight selection of home goods, clothing, and accessories from Derek Lam, Michael Kors, and Tuleh alongside less pricey lines like J Brand, Hanii Y, and Inhabit."

Salander-O’Reilly Galleries have been closed by order of a judge. "...in the last few months, the Salander-O’Reilly Galleries and its principal, Lawrence Salander, have been the subjects of complaints and a growing number of lawsuits by people who say they consigned artworks to the gallery and were not paid, or even notified, when they were sold." [NY Times]
Knitting store Annie & Company has expanded. "You can go in merely to handle the chunky or hand-painted yarns by Misti Alpaca (from $15 to $20 a skein) and Artyarns (from $20 to $45 a skein), but Annie & Company is a microcommunity with private lessons ($50 an hour), workshops (the next one is October 25), and knitting-obsessed staffers."

The Charlotte Moss Townhouse, which opened back in April, is an interesting retail experiment. The five-story building is at once the interior designer's shop and showroom, as everything displayed, from beds to sconces to wallpaper, is for sale. Floors one through four display a variety of purchasable goods like blue damask linens and delicate china; custom and bespoke services are available on the fifth floor of the space. Read more on the townhouse at Apartment Therapy, NY Mag, and on their official website.
