about

Bird is one of Brooklyn’s first fashion destinations and also the very first LEED-certified retail store in New York City. It was recently voted Best Women’s Boutique in New York City by New York Magazine and Top Visionary Boutique in the United States by Lucky Magazine.

The original Bird store in Park Slope opened in 1999. The second location in Cobble Hill opened in 2006. The third and largest location, designed by Norwegian architect Ole Sondresen, opened in Williamsburg in 2009.
