The array and quality of retail options available in Westchester rival anywhere in the country.
Bucko!
Husband-wife team Brian and Katie Orsi opened their independent lifestyle store in November 2020, and locals love it. The focus is on simple, honest items and service for the Peekskill and greater Westchester community. The boutique features men’s, women’s, and baby’s apparel, as well as home goods, accessories, CBD products, gifts, and many other lifestyle-elevating pieces. 107 S Division St, Peekskill; buckoshop.com
Luxury Fashion NY
Working a tandem gig as a personal shopper, Lisa Nayakrit knows her way around a good find. Her store and brand make it very clear that the name of the game isn’t all consignment but rather luxury brands, such as Valentino and Louis Vuitton, at prices that don’t break the bank. You read that correctly: Brand-new items for way less than retail. After fostering a relationship with sales associates in both big-box stores and boutiques, she’s able to purchase items at a wholesale price, forwarding that savings on to her customers. 187 Palmer Ave, Larchmont; @luxuryfashionny
