Pachute Boutique Takes Root


If 'pure and simple' is part of your sustainable style equation, then pachute boutique on the Upper East Side of Manhattan is definitely a fashion outpost that you should know about. Exquisitely curated by owner Sharone Komoroff, this clean and bright style oasis is a cool nest of nature-inspired fashion amidst the steamy urban jungle.


Pachute means 'simple' in Hebrew and with designer collections like Brooklyn-based Loup Charmant and Israeli jewelry designer, Lior Ben-Beset, there is elegance and beauty throughout. The loveliest eco-basics for babies and kids also makes one-stop shopping a breeze. I found the sweetest organic cotton tees for my twins there, as parent/child options are refreshing but not at all saccharin. NB: Do not miss the Zid Zid’s Moroccan 'Babuches' (slippers) for little ones.

And as if this is not enticing enough Sharone has hand-picked some of her favorite beauty and skin products to compliment the range of wholesome goods and gift giving treasures. As you can see, you will be gently immersed in the finest and simplest style finds.

Do not miss 'The Future Of Fashion, Part Five', an interview with Style.com’s editor in chief Dirk Standen, and Barneys New York's fashion director, Julie Gilhart."

"The Old Formula Is Not Working" is an honest look at why current retailing models and season-to-season cycles in the fashion industry are just not working any more. The search for conscious fashion is on and the inherent contradictions of retailing (fickle consumer needs) might finally force us to create new formulas for conscious design and honest style making.
