you used to be hooked on reruns of melrose place. now you prefer that exclusive address for boutiques. the newest addition to the collection? the recently opened ports 1961.

sure, you've seen their shop in canada. maybe even asia. but now this luxe brand brings their first flagship store to the US. creative director tia cibani uses warm tones and a unique bow-tressed ceiling to make you feel right at home. there's plenty of room to lounge on the luxe couches while your BFF flicks through the suspended shelves and twisted nickel hang-bars of mod classics. try on their bestseller, the bamana, a hand tie-dyed twist sleeve dress in prairie dot ($995). or take a note from celeb devotees like debra messing, who just picked up the gazelle mix shea dress ($495). all handbags are limited editions from italy and use real wood. a fave? the pine handheld clutch ($630). but if you don't live on the west coast, fret not. the eastern branch of ports 1961 opens in NYC later this year.

ahoy matey. this is one port worth stopping at.
