Treehouse Grows in Brooklyn, Becoming a Local Designer ‘Super Store’

Take
this,
Space Ninety 8! Six Brooklyn-based jewelry and clothing designers are combing their talents to co-run a “super store” in Williamsburg.
Treehouse,
which celebrates its eighth anniversary this year, will serve as the
brick-and-mortar location for the collaboration, which will feature the
wares of
Jessica DeCarlo Jewelry,
Glove Notes by Feather,
Species by the Thousands, Kiki and Gazelle, and
Sodafine.
Treehouse founder Siri Wilson (whose jewelry line
Sirius Lux
will also be featured) has had several different pop-ups over the
years, but at Treehouse & Friends the like-minded designers (all of
whom Wilson has worked with before) will be running the store together.
The name Treehouse was inspired by
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn as
well as Wilson’s Northern Californian childhood in the 1970s. “I was
always fascinated with tree-houses and utopian dream spaces,” she
says—an ethos that the collaborative nature of Treehouse & Friends
pays homage to.
The new store will be kicking off with a fiesta on Friday, June 27,
from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. It’s open to the public, and will involve “music
and drinks and good times,” plus a cheeky 15% discount. “And,” says
Wilson, as if we need any more encouragement, “I make very delicious
cocktails.”
