Nepenthes New York

Midtown


Occupying an old sewing-machine shop in the Garment District, this cult Japanese collective stocks edgy menswear from the likes of Engineered Garments and Needles, known for their quirky detailing and artisanal production value, with a vintage-inspired Americana workwear feel. Accessories include bags and satchels, hats, gloves, eyewear and footwear.

The name comes from the scientific name of the carnivorous pitcher plant.
