Rick Owens Boutique

If you wish: to be professionally wrapped, bound, and otherwise encumbered with Rick Owens.

best place to shop and best man to model for! Rick rocks1 clothes fit so well, but a tad on the larger side i feel. atmosphere is beautiful and atmosphere is friendly and artsy

Stunning retail space filled with equally stunning garments for men and women alike. While the clothes remain extremely expensive, even on sale, there is no other brand I would rather support. Also, while the staff has changed over the years, I have never once had an unfriendly visit. Being in the space really completes your understanding of his aesthetic. A must see!

Great store. Excellent service.

I stopped by here yesterday hoping to grab a Stooges. The store is absolutely beautiful and the staff was so welcoming. Alex helped me out, pulling a number of other jackets and making suggestions. They unfortunately didn’t have my size in what I came in for. But, it was still a wonderful experience, very much because of Alex, who hung out with us for awhile and was so personable and cool. Wonderful customer service. I definitely left a bigger fan of the brand.

Uhm, only had fantastic experiences with the staff here. Shout out to Sharif and Nicolas, who are extremely polite, helpful, and friendly. They let me do my thing and know the brand, so it’s fun talking about their collections and building my own with them!

I am not usually writing reviews, but after reading a previous one I needed to say something. I was christmas shopping at the Rick Owens Boutique on Friday the 29^th, and was in the Boutique from 6:30 to 7:15pm. I didn’t hear anyone scream :“CLOSE”… Well, anyway, the staff was really charming and gave me all the help I needed. I didn’t feel rushed even though I knew they were doing extra time in the shop.
I, therefore, highly recommend visiting the boutique if you are a fan of Rick Owens… And if you don’t know his work yet, please, by all mean: go and see for yourself how great his clothes are!

Wow! You would think that a brand that is so irrelevant would be at least (at least) fall back on the luxury shopping ideals of being mildly polite to its nearly extinct customer base. You would think…
I went with my boyfriend and a friend, with the intention of shopping, which is to say exchange money for ‘goods’ or services. What happened… I opened the door, 10 mins to close, and was struck by a voice screamed ‘CLOSED!’ We said, i“it’s not yet 7′ to which she reiterated her previous sentiment, ‘CLOSED!’ And that was that.
You would think, as we were the only other humans she had seen all day, that made the journey ALL THE WAY over to that store to aid in paying her salary, she might be ever so slightly accommodating. You would think she might even be grateful, not only to make a commission, but to see and converse with other humans, you would think.
You might also think, that as she has just spent 8 or so odd hours, inhabiting the utterly vestigial arm of gothic fashion, alone, she might at the very least be pleasant. If you think any of these things you would be wrong. Avoid this store like a plague era morgue and if you need a Rick Owens fix, I’m sure you can pick it up for a song on Ebay. Terrible terrible same.

Love this place. Bought my first Rick Owens jacket from this location. excellent service and might I add that the staff here are quite easy on the eye;)

Nice! Expensive and worth every penny. Ive gotten over my rick stage but will say, if youre into the expensive goth look, this is your place. Theres a super attractive guy who works there if you want eye candy. Back in the beginning, they had a salesman/​woman in full geisha wear. How amazing to see performance art when you shop. Every rick leather i have has aged beautifully. My last purchase was the angel coat. I feel so amazing when i wear that piece. I live a bicoastal life and thank god i can wear these «outfits» in nyc.

The only place to start your search for an amazing Rick Owens item is at their boutique in West Soho. Other stores in the city carry their items but none of their selections will be as comprehensive as at the boutique. The store is lined with the full men’s, women’s and footwear collections from the current season and true to the RO style is extremely modern and minimal.
Yes, Rick Owens is off of the beaten shopping path, but this actually works in its favor. People going to RO are intentionally seeking it out which means you avoid the masses usually traveling down the main area of Soho around Broadway, Mercer and Prince Streets. It also makes for a more relaxed shopping atmosphere. When I was there, there was only one other customer in the store.
The store is of course extremely expensive, but unlike typical ultra high-​end boutiques in the city which may have snobby, and overbearing salespeople, Rick Owen’s has some of the most low-​key, helpful and beautiful staff anywhere in NYC. I worked with a woman who helped me try on two jackets I liked and when (unfortunately for me) they were sold out of the jacket I wanted in my size, she suggested a number of other boutiques in the city I could try. Also, it’s worth it to note that I was offered a bottle of water as soon as I walked in the door, before it was even evident I was interested in buying something.
Overall ¹⁰⁄₁₀. The place was a shopping paradise that left me drooling over every item and the staff was amazing. Look forward to going back right when the next season drops so that I am sure they’ll have my size in stock!

What can I say… I am in heaven?

This store has such lovely staff. A beautiful woman helped me today who was incredibly knowledgable, professional, and not pushy.
I will definitely come back to buy more ‘investment pieces’ here. They have great leather and his collections are timeless.
I must say the Paris boutique is much more beautiful, but I am sure that is because it is the main store. This one was by no means ugly, just not standing up to the gorgeous clothing, or the Paris store.

Rick Owens is so deep. I loved the design of the NYC store, especially the smoke curling up behind the glass at the counter. They also try to have more of the unique items rather than the classics you’d find at say Barneys. I was helped by Shelley, who not only had a great sense of style but was really nice and helpful, suggesting items and how she’d wear them.

Severe, dark and a-​symetrical silhouettes peered out the window… and warm and helpful staff welcomed me as I walked in.
This deceptively minimalist boutique is rich on subtle details;
just like the apparel!
–A forrest of tall and intimidating zipper-​slashed wedge boots stand at rapt attention by the doorway.
–A blackened skull and antler stand guard over soft nests of scarves on the accessory display table.
–Behind the registers, puffs of smoke float in stark contrast against
a black backdrop.
–Every purchase is lovingly paper-​wrapped and packed in a unique, gable-​shaped bag that looks like it could beat up your Victoria Secret bag at lunch.
One of Rick’s dust-​colored tank tops has made its way into my regular
Fall rotation, and I’ll be back, so it doesn’t get lonely…

I dunno. I thought the store and the staff were great. I wasn’t wearing any Rick Owens stuff; just jeans and an h&m jacket. I recently got the bug to get one of his jackets and ran into the store while walking down the street. It was my first time in the store and the woman who helped me was very helpful to explain where everything was and also helped me try on some jackets that might fit me (I was concerned that my arms are NOT as skinny as they used to be as I have been lifting weights). The area is a little off main shopping drags, but then again — who wants to be in Soho w/​a thousand people other shoppers? My other favorites Comme des Garconnes, Balenciaga are also off the main drag, but those are a chance to visit the galleries. In this case, I guess one can visit the Holland Tunnel.

The people here used to be pretty crappy, but the have improved as of late. The clothes and the service still seems better at Atelier though.

I cannot afford a G/​D thing in this store but it is a really intriguing environment. Maybe one day the $ 2500 jacket can be mine.

Amazing. So happy that a Rick store was finally opened in NY (it’s operated by the Atelier folks) to offer much more of the range than what Atelier previously had and then the small buys at Barneys and Jeffery.
The smoke wall is amazing, the only downside to the place is the location in «West SoHo» is still kind of off the beaten path. But, with Atelier there and being so remote they know that if you go, you’re going there for a purpose and not randomly stumbling upon it.
The staff may seem standoffish; but, they are for the most part great.

I LOVE this store… I could come here just to listen to the amazing minimal tracks on the speaker system.
I guess I’m also heavily biased from being totally into the clothes and the black minimal aesthetics, but even if you’re not, just touch it. Feel the the softness of the fabric. Even if you don’t care about fashion in any sense, this is just so comfortable…
While you’re in the ‘hood you should of course also check out the new location of Atelier, the Thom Browne store and walk those last blocks down to the Number (N)ine store… Happy spending.
