Anne van H. Boutique:
Owned by the Belgian designer from whom it gets its name, this Murray Hill boutique receives new items every day. Dresses, pants and jackets from Amsterdam, Paris, London, Japan and the United States fill the store, including pieces by Parisian designers La Fée Maraboutée and Cop Copine. A laser-cut, beige suede vest by the latter for $145 caught our eye. 2026 Murray Hill Road, #106, 216-721-6633, avhboutique.com
Juma Gallery:
This gallery's charming, serene atmosphere matches the style of its comfortable clothing and accessories. Mannequins show off delicate scarves from India and the neutral tones of designs from New York clothing companies Chalet and Neesh. Don't miss the colorful, lightweight accessory that can add flair to any outfit: hand-painted silk scarves by California artist and Cleveland native Ellen Brooke. 2026 Murray Hill Road, Suite 108, 216-721-3773, jumagallery.com
Heartstrings:
Heavily stocked with pieces from the early 20th century, this shop will make the eyes of any vintage junkie grow wide at the sight of the broad range of dresses, coats and lingerie in stock. Owner Wendy Swindell recently transformed the upstairs balcony into an area for bridal gowns and accessories. 2062 Murray Hill Road, 216-421-2020, heartstrings2020.com
