Atelier360 is a new concept store on Greenwich Avenue that features luxury clothing, accessories, and lifestyle products, each with a positive impact and a unique story. All of the products are exclusive to the area and have one or several of the following attributes: Handmade by Artisans; Organic; Repurposed; and Made in the USA.


Atelier360 offers products created by talented designers and artisans who incorporate aspects of traditional artistry, ethical resourcing or manufacturing, or both. Providing a path to market for these designers will not only contribute to the development of skilled labor and the preservation of artistry and tradition, but will also help shape solutions to emerging environmental and persistent economic problems through innovation.
