Buck Mason Flatiron

The Porsche is an obvious reason to stop at Buck Mason in Flatiron, but the vintage Moroccan rugs are just as interesting to us. We like that combination: the precision of a car’s lines alongside the texture and irregularity of something handmade. It gives the store a character that reaches well beyond the clothes on the rails.

There is a pleasure in seeing older things used with confidence. The rugs bring warmth, the furniture gives you a reason to pause, and the Porsche sits among it all as another object to admire. For us, this is what makes a shop worth visiting in person. You can look at the clothes online; the feeling of the room, and the unexpected things you find yourself drawn to, are why we would go in.
