You shouldn't shop here for two reasons. 1) Apart from the more petite dude wearing the nerdy-chic glasses, most of the sales staff has too much attitude for their own good. 2) Most of A.P.C.'s clothing is actually made in Tunisia. I have a sweater that was made in China. The quality probably isn't too bad, but you shouldn't have to pay that much for stuff that was made in places where people make peanuts for each article of clothing they sew. A.P.C. is Parisian-chic, by way of, you know, the developing world. You would do much better at stores like Steven Alan and UNIS, both located in NoLita, five minutes from SoHo, which both feature similarly-chic, understated clothes at similar prices. All of UNIS's clothes is made in Italy; Steven's shirts are American-made, I believe.

Know Before You Go
