Hand-selected,

Clothing & decor on First Avenue, downtown Albany.

A good wardrobe is edited, not filled. Everything on our floor was picked out by hand: sweaters with life left in them, hats that hold their shape, a lamp that makes a corner feel finished. Gently used, never tired.

Slow down. Look closer. Wear it again.

Urban on 1st is edited on purpose. We would rather hang one rail of good things than racks of maybe-things, so the floor is chosen piece by piece and changes with the seasons.
