Meatpacking District boutique, and Racked 38 member, Owen is known for its paperbag-lined walls. Now Club Monaco is featuring the same bag install in some of its store windows, and a tipster who works for the global brand reports that photos of the Owen boutique were even used internally on inspiration boards. This isn't the first time the boutique's motif has been interpreted—Saks Fifth Avenue did the same last year.
