    Tiffany & Co

    This famous jeweler, with the trademark clock-hoisting Atlas over the door, has won countless hearts with its fine diamond rings, watches, silver Elsa Peretti heart necklaces, and fine crystal vases and glassware. It’s the high-end bridal registry spot of choice, and the store’s little blue boxes have been known to provoke squealing from any teenage girl lucky enough to get a gift from here. The classy elevators are operated by old-school humans – and whatever you do, don’t harass them with tired ‘Where’s the breakfast?’ jokes.

Check out the tees and tote bags silkscreened with the profile of a woman with a 'fro, plus earth-tone messenger bags, caps, mugs and aprons that say 'Harlem'.
