BOOKMARC


The new BOOKMARC Store by Marc Jacobs, in the West Village, NYC, is now officially one of my favorite bookstore.

The choice of books -- from old, out of print essays to fascinating illustration books -- is, even though limited by the small surface of the shop, carefully curated and such a pleasure to browse through that anytime you go there, you find yourself buying something -- Sometimes only for the elegantly aged cover of a vintage book.

The branding of the store is also meticulously studied, in a way that made me think of my favorite advert-media agency, Winkreative.














The shopping bag is actually an envelope...!



Located on Bleecker Street, in the former Biography Bookshop facing Magnolia Bakery.
