Horrible customer service– the door was open and people were inside so we tried to go in but were kicked out because they were «closed «but official opening time was in a few minutes. If that was the case doors should have been locked with. Closed sign. Turning away customers doesn’t seem like a very good business strategy.
Although I liked the sweater in the window I won’t be returning to buy it.

Appallingly bad service.
MNZ should let go of these associates. They are driving more customers away than keeping. I’d rather find the goods online.

A beautiful shop, beautiful clothes, and kind sales staff, even if I’m just coming in to admire it all. The MNZ Palma sandal has to be one of my most favorite shoes ever, and so comfortable!

Lovely storefront, nicely curated selection of high-​end womenswear. Scored a pair of Dieppa Restrepos here highly marked off. Pleasant sales staff. Would return.

I’ve been here a few times, their collection is great; much like my other favorite stores: totokaelo, NO.6, creatures of comfort, etc… I dunno what it is about the service though, maybe if I walked in wearing my Rolex, Farragamo handbag and dressed to the nine it’d be different but I find that if you’re not of similar kinfolk don’t expect to get a warm welcome or friendly service.
Maybe that’s human nature, to judge, but if I walk in wearing my jeans with paint all over it and dirty sneakers which I often do, attitudes change. I come from the mentality to treat all my potential customers the same; I don’t eyeball for the ones who seem most likely to carry black cards; I will say this, I’ve been to a famous artist/director’s home in the WV and he hosted us in ripped-​up sweats; point being… besides a stare down, how about a smile?
Also, their current sale items, shoes particularly, needs a good dusting, and a fair share of sale items have minor damage but yes, very nice designers and quite expensive.

I went into this favorite boutique I just adore TWICE today. First time today I bought several pieces then I returned to get the last piece of jewelry on a ring, I second guess myself on my 1^st visit. I never do this get on Unilocal and comment, but today was different. Not only do I LOVE your store, but I do wish your prices were better. But was reminded by Natasha there all special pieces of clothing and by great designers. But the past 3 or 4 times Ive been there a sales person name Natasha has helped me. She is an incredible sales person. The place was packed today, the front door was ringing, {because they lock it} the phones or faxes was ringing, she had to do everything on a computer. Checking prices, and helping people in the dressing room and the most incredible part here was and above all this, she see’s a customer stealing a shirt. She goes out in front of the store and comes right back with a shirt in hand!!! She was very professional with how she handled it, but it obvious what was happening. One couldn’t help but notice, the boutique is small. How does one person do everything by herself. I don’t know who her boss is but they should know how incredible this lady is. And if it wasn’t for her assistance helping me in the dressing room from the first time today, and running up and down there stairs and back again finding extra inventory, I probably wouldn’t of spent the kind of money I spent. today. Now I have to go back to work and make some money so I can come back next year and do more shopping. Your store probably won’t see this, but if they do…
Thank you Natasha. A store is only as good as the salesperson that’s helping its customers. I look forward to coming back shopping and having you help me with your style savvy way!!!

This shop is *lovely.* Beautifully curated, and every object rewards scrutiny. It’s not really my taste — I am a little austere, and most of the stuff here is a tiny bit precious or whimsical for me. But it is beautiful. Particularly great belts, shoes, wraps and hats.

5 stars for the taste level. Some of the brands I’m obsessed with that they curate are as follows: Cosmic Wonder, Swash, Peppercotton, Dieppa Restrepo, Isabel Marant, etc. Most items sold @ retail prices are absurdly expensive but I can’t find them anywhere else, so I end up buying them at absurdly high prices and never wear them out in fear of making a dent on them. It’s like DIY curating in your own closet. They must have some sort of exclusivity rights w/​some of the designers like how Barney’s does it. I appreciate that this store introduces independent designers that are talented and inspiring. It’s like art meets function, though less emphasis on function — some clothes I tried on were too avant garde for me to make them everyday staples. Not too keen on customer service, thus 4 stars.

My favorite shopping spot in LES! Great selections you cannot never go wrong.

A beautiful store.
One of my favorite places to shop in the United States.

Really nice staff as well.
AND a sale rack with past season strangely fitting clothes, that I usually end up liking something on.
Bad ass all around.

Hands down the best shop in New York City… well definitely the best shop on the Lower East Side. Handpicked jewelry by people who know where to find the secret people who make the amazing things. Stuff you won’t and can’t find elsewhere. Maryam and Uday have a special spark that gives this place it’s zen pizzazz. That’s right — I just said that.
Great selection of clothes that are different from what you’d find at Barney’s or even Opening Ceremony. Edited to perfection, rarely a snore to be found, and different every time you come in, even if you come in every day like I used to.
Now that I’m in LA I miss this old haunt of mine. But if you’re in New York and have some jingle jangle in your pocket I recommend you high-​tail it to Norfolk Street!

I’ve been perusing this store’s website for a while (I live in San Francisco), and finally got a chance to visit the shop in person last week. It was an extremely hot day, and I got lost wandering around the lower East side, but this shop was like an oasis in a dream. Everything is as beautiful in person, as it is on their site. It’s superbly curated, and pieces are displayed, and grouped, in a cohesive story.
I feel like someone crawled inside my head and manifested a real space. Love…

I just ordered a pair of Dieppa Restrepo Cali oxfords online… ordered on a Wednesday and got them on Friday… same week! And I signed up for the cheap shipping!
Plus…when I initially contacted them to find out when the shoes would be restocked… Aurelia was incredibly nice AND emailed me as soon as the shoes came into the store! You just don’t find service like that very often anymore!
Reading the other reviews… I only wish I was close enough (I’m in California) to visit the store… it sounds amazing!
Thank you so much… my first pair of «grown-​up» shoes (I’m only 43… happy birthday to me!)…

This shop is drop-​dead gorgeous, from the completely glass exterior to the curious jewelry, handmade bows and arrows, prism sculptures by Philip Low, women’s clothing, and exquisite shoes. Isabel Marant, Vena Cava, Three As Four, A Detacher, Acne, LOTS of dramatic black jackets and floor-​length dresses, and overpriced designer vintage in the back. No jeans to be found, no way no how. Jeans are expected, and MNZ is not for the fashion dullard. Had I a risk-​tasking friend and $ 300 to spend on said friend, this would be the perfect store to peruse for a birthday gift… or a pair of Rachel Comey buckled ankle boots ($ 330) for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Hey, I work hard! I deserve fancy boots!
Don’t be intimidated by the crazy art objects or high prices. Maryam and her staff are all super nice and helpful, and the unusual interior design elements (metal bracelets sitting on the floor, beat-​up wooden tables, etc) are inspirational. If only I could have an apartment full of these beautiful things!

this new store on the lower east side is a wonderfully curated mix of women’s and men’s fashion and accessories and cool unique art objects. i was a little worried to check it out since it seemed really expensive and precious, but was pleasantly surprised by the sale prices and friendliness of the staff. definitely worth checking out and especially good for a nice unique gift.
