What People Are Saying About Leontine

In Short
An entrance filled with plants and fresh-cut flowers leads to a warm, open room with wood beams and hand-painted walls interspersed with antique furniture and stacks of patterned linens, with silver tea service at the ready. The racks hold one- or two-of-a-kind remade vintage and new pieces from young, local designers (such as grey cashmere shirtdresses) and vintage clothes from Paris (such as a couture YSL knit dress). There's also vintage jewelry from England and France, bath and beauty products, and Santa Maria Novella candles from Florence.
The Details on Leontine
Save Time:
If you don't often find yourself in the increasingly chichi South Street Seaport area, there are two sister stores, Albertine and Claudine, in the West Village.
The Extras:
Knitting classes are held in the back of the store, where there's an old kitchen table, surrounded by windows and gilded mirrors.
Know Before You Go:
All plants, flowers and antique furniture is for sale.
