Located just a few quick
steps from the PATH, a fun and fresh designer boutique awaits...
Arriving this past fall,
LUCY's is one of the newer businesses to have brightened up the storefronts of
Hoboken in 2001. Specializing in sophisticated, women's ready-to-wear clothing,
Lucy's boasts a wide array of upscale brands. But the personalized service may
be even more irresistible than the clothes themselves. From the eye-catching
window displays to the exquisitely laid-out floor plan, this store delivers all
it promises.
Owned by Diane, the shop
was named after a childhood friend-a simple and down-to-earth concept and one
of the many ways in which this store proves that high-end fashion can be bought
without high-end attitude. Warm and friendly, Diane prides herself on providing
customized attention in combination with a handpicked selection of unique
fashion items for each season. Prior to opening Lucy's, Diane lived in Hoboken
for several years and had been looking for the right real estate opportunity to
come along. She had a clear vision of the kind of store she felt Hoboken
residents needed-a women's store with trendy-but sophisticated and
lasting-designer clothing for each season.
As a psychology major in
college, Diane had not planned on a career on fashion until a chance internship
followed by a series of successful fashion jobs proved that she had a natural
knack for working with women's clothing. Now a fashion veteran, Diane has
worked for a variety of prestigious fashion houses and designer
stores-including Bergdorf Goodman. Most recently she was the Fashion Director
for Women's Ready-to-Wear at Saks Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
The atmosphere of Lucy's is
a relaxing one in which you can shop, browse, or comfortably try on clothing.
Diane encourages customers or anyone who's curious to casually look around and
try on. There are smart black-and-white striped dressing rooms that coordinate
with the signature black-and-white hatboxes adorned with the store's namesake.
She's also available to guide anyone (men are welcome!) shopping for gifts.
While the space holds an impressive amount of merchandise, it's all beautifully
displayed and easily within reach. And the fashion treasures you will find
include dresses, skirts, tops, pants, lingerie, accessories, handbags, jewelry,
and bath & body products. The spring will bring the arrival of flip-flops
as well. Some of the popular designers and brands featured are Michael Kors,
Isabella Fiore, Seven jeans, and La Perla... to name a few.
Conclusion: a stylish
paradise where the natives are friendly.
