New York, NY – Lucky Jewel is pleased to announce the opening of its first retail store located at 9 Monroe Street in Manhattan, New York 10002. The store will be open to the public on December 10, 2022.
The Lucky Jewel store is representative of the collective’s continued evolution as it actively defies traditional norms of how we perceive the experience of shopping itself. Lucky Jewel has long since championed the belief that “shopping is a feeling” and with a permanent retail location, the collective now has a space to cultivate that feeling through as it puts emotional exchange and collaborative experiences ahead of commerce. Everything in the 1,000 square foot space was constructed and touched by the hands of the collective’s creative principles, Shay Gallagher, Olive Woodward and Lola Dement Myers, who also selected the 50+ stockists that will be carried upon opening – including their own line which debuted in September 2022.
There is a distinct history dating back to 2018 linked to Lucky Jewel’s community of makers that allows the shop to function as a living vestibule of sentimentality. In turn, this physical space will not have a fixed identity or format but will writhe, shifting to become whatever the collective and its community needs it to be – a gallery, a showroom, a place to rendezvous, a home. Shay, Olive and Lola, take pride in having personal and deep relationships with those whose products they carry, reflecting a kind of nurturance that transcends product offerings and bends the knee to an intimate understanding of the maker’s personhood.
Through the Lucky Jewel store, shopping is solidified as a practice and the shop itself becomes the collective’s refinement. The selection of stockists and products reflect the Lucky Jewel’s own desire to mature as bonafide professionals honing the singularity of their vision while following a value system whose pillars wrest upon a foundation of consistency, intuition and transformation. New Yorkers have been wailing about a lack of places to shop – Lucky Jewel is the answer.
