There’s an ancient myth that says, one day, the sun grew weary of simply touching humans with its far-reaching rays of light and warmth. That it wanted to have a closer, more tactile relationship with mankind.And so it created Orlebar Brown.
… It’s in one of the big myth books somewhere.
True or not, New York (and America, for that matter) now has its first outpost of Orlebar Brown, the London-born king of things you look good wearing near beaches. It’s now open in SoHo.
Tees, toweling polos (the best kind), espadrilles, sunglasses and arguably the best-tailored and most-flattering swim trunks in the known universe.
More specifically, you might enter it for some of the trunks that are exclusive to this particular location, including a pair with our city’s skyline embroidered on them.
So we’ve established you as the best-dressed in the Hamptons this weekend, right? As long as you can get to the shop today or tomorrow, right? “But, oh no, I have too much to do, I can’t make it in time,” you exclaim, dejectedly.
Well, have no fear, because they also just opened an even bigger version in East Hampton.
Crisis averted.
