When the name comes from a bar run by the leader of an Irish gang, you know it’s a boutique worth walking into. The Rising States inherited its name from the previous tenant of their location in the Lower East Side in New York City. Owner Meagan Delaney curates a rad selection of American brands such as DesireeKlein, Nikki Chasin, Whit & Hannah Kristina Metz.

Founded by Whitney Pozgay in 2010, WHiT’s clean shapes are modern and contemporary with a vibe that is sophisticated but never takes itself too seriously. Made for living life to the fullest, each piece is energized by playful details. The New York designer collaborates on their fresh, tongue-in-cheek prints with a community of seriously talented artists. We say it every season: we can’t wait to see what’s next.
