A Williamsburg treasure since 2005.

The Velvet Shoestring started in a modest 1,200 square foot building. As our reputation for quality and curation grew, so did we — relocating to 311 2nd Street with over 10,000 square feet of showroom space and more than 8,000 consignors.

We grew so much we opened a second location — The Velvet Shoestring Too — at 7191 Merrimac Trail, also in Williamsburg. We're a small team dedicated to connecting beautiful things with the people who will love them.
