Dear: Rivington +, a new boutique that looks as though it were plucked from Tokyo's streets, has opened in the Lower East Side. The store is a second incarnation of owner Moon Rhee's Dear, originally located in a smaller Clinton Street space. "Now, in addition to selling its own line, the relocated store carries vintage clothes in mint condition, especially ’80s and ’90s Japanese labels like Comme des Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto and Issey Miyake."
