The Brownstone:
Harlem's First Fashion Enclave
Entrepreneur Princess Jenkins is moving her popular apparel shop, The Brownstone, to Harlem’s busiest shopping thoroughfare. Ms. Jenkins recently signed a 10-year lease for nearly 850 square feet at 24 E. 125th St., between Fifth and Madison avenues.
She plans to relocate The Brownstone from its longtime home around the corner, at 2032 Fifth Ave., this weekend. There will be a three-day grand opening party in late September.
This lifestyle shop offers a unique, private shopping experience for customers seeking quality, value and personal attention. It is indicative of Harlem's glory days with beautiful woodwork, high ceilings, stained glass and fireplaces.
More than 40 local designers provide goods for the store ranging from apparel and millinery to fine jewelry, artwork, and cosmetics.
While The Brownstone concentrates primarily on ethnically inspired fashions for women; currently, there is a small collection of menswear, with plans for more in the future. Owner, Princess Jenkins, says, "We're building the first African-American department store in Harlem, giving clients what they want..fashion, style and beauty."
