The permanent store will be located in the South Street district, which has been classified as “Manhattan’s neighborhood to watch” by magazine Travel + Leisure in its April 2018 issue. SJP Collection already has a pop-up store in Midtown Manhattan, which re-opened on April 2 after a successful holiday season in 2017. In addition to the colorful pumps “Sex and the City” protagonist Carrie Bradshaw was known for, the brand also sells bags and a single “little black dress” model.

SJP Collection already has a permanent standalone boutique at the Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, and at the Dubai Mall. Its products are also sold by a number of retailers around the world, including Bloomingdale’s, Tootsies, and Hudson’s Bay, as well as Amazon UK, France and Germany. Prices range from 255 US dollars and 595 US dollars.
