Ask anyone who left New York what they miss, and it is never the skyline. It is the bodega coffee. The walk through the park. The train that pulled in right as they hit the platform.
Our New York Toile is drawn from exactly those moments: a subway train, Central Park, a bodega coffee and bagel, and a Fifth Avenue fashionista hailing a cab. These are the pieces we would send to someone who still gives directions by cross street, plus a few for the friend whose New York is really the beach. All of it lives in the New York Toile collection.
For the New Yorker Who Moved Away
Start with what they will wear on a Sunday morning. The New York Toile Pajama Pants Set ($138) and the Pajama Shorts Set ($128) are cut from a soft blend of modal and cotton, with piping and a ribbon-tie waist. Add their initials to the pocket and the subway map goes with them.
For the Apartment
New York counters are small, so a tray should do one job well. The New York Toile Lucite Tray starts at $58 and keeps keys, rings and the mail in one place. The New York Toile Tea Towel Set ($58) is a pair, one orange and pink and one white and black, so one can live by the stove and one by the sink. And for the friend who throws dinner parties in a one-bedroom anyway, the New York Toile Ice Bucket ($118) holds three quarts behind a double-insulated wall.
For the Walls
Plenty of New Yorkers rent, so a wall that can come down with the lease is worth a look. New York Toile Peel and Stick Wallpaper comes in 24 inch panels ($64, $134 or $198 by length). Test a sample on a hidden spot of the wall first; your first 3 small samples are free with code SAMPLES, once per customer. Not ready to paper a wall? Our gallery prints start at $40: the Fifth Avenue print of that fashionista hailing a cab, or the Statue of Liberty.
In Their Pocket
The New York Toile iPhone Case (from $58) is the piece they will see a hundred times a day. There is a Samsung version too.
For the Hamptons Crowd
Some people's New York is the breeze, the ocean and a lobster roll on the way back from the beach. The Hamptons Toile is drawn for them. The Hamptons Toile Lucite Tray (from $58) catches sunglasses and keys by the door all summer, and the Hamptons Toile iPhone Case (from $58) goes to the beach and back. The rest is in the Hamptons Toile collection.
Initials, Made to Order
Pajamas, trays and ice buckets can all carry a monogram, chosen on the product page after the print. Because each one is made to order, personalized pieces are final sale. Order early if it needs to be under a tree.
A bagel and coffee they can keep.
