Anyone heading to New York for the Holidays?
Well, it’s time to C. Wonder!
See the wonder that Chris Burch created in SoHo:
It is the new store & lifestyle brand that has all of New York buzzing. Just take a look here.
The stylish retail emporium is a visual feast from the moment you reach the kelly green, lacquered doors on Spring Street.
As with anything new & original, it’s difficult to describe. There is simply no store around to compare it too…
Here’s my take on the key design elements which make the shopping environment a wonder in itself:
- Dorothy Draper touches + a dash of Chinoiserie
- Classic, modern furnishings lacquered like candy
- Bold geometric patterns covering walls & floors
- C. Wonder’s logo reinforced in every scale & form at every opportunity
- Points of merchandising interest at every turn
- Designer details, even in the restrooms!
Just add a BIG dollop of fun-house with a preppy accent to the above, and you’ll get the picture.
You’re gonna love C. Wonder if you fall into any one of these categories:
- Haute Dog
- Artistic Hound
- Fashion Hound
- Shopping Hound
- Interior Design Hound
- Bargain Hunting Hound
Yes….I said Bargain Hunting Hound.
The average price at C. Wonder is $40!
Foo Dog Bookends $58 per Pair, C. Wonder.
Forty Bucks!
Chris Burch. The guy is the mistro of merchandising. Seriously.
Remember the preppy Eagle’s Eye label of clothing & sweaters? Chris Burch launched the brand with $2000 in college (1976) and eventually sold the brand for $60 million.
Not too shabby. And the guy likes Dogs.
So does the merchandising team at C. Wonder:
How flippin’ cute is that Puppy?
Here’s the best part…the adorable Bulldog porcelain dish is only $38.
Price for the embroidered Dog pillow cover? $34. Add another $10 if you need the pillow insert.
C. Wonder offers a kennel of Dogs including Beagles…
Dog Home Accessories, C. Wonder.
You’ll also find Pugs, Shih Tzus, Boxers and a few other Dogs running around the store.

Want too see a peek at their merchandise selection? You’ll find a short video here.
Did I mention C. Wonder has colorful bicycles & Vespas in their collection?!
Of course, I fancy all of the Pet products at the colorful store, from their colorful, non-slip Pet bowls to their Dog Collars & Leashes.
I think my Scottie Dog Taffy needs one of each of these colorful collars in her wardrobe, don’t you?
Designer Dog Collars, C. Wonder.
Notice the brilliant packaging. At a glance the colorful Dog lets you know the collar size.
No turning the Dog collar inside & out searching for a tag.
No reading the fine print.
It is just Bow-Wow-Wonderful!
Preppy Dog Collar & Lead, C. Wonder.
At $16, C. Wonder’s Dog Collars make the perfect gift for any Fashion Hound.
C. Wonder offers another element that’s difficult to find these days:
Or maybe I should call it spec-tech-ular!
There’s no need to leave the fitting room to fetch another size when you’ve got an intercom at your fingertips.
You can even control the lighting in the dressing rooms & select your own music.
How’s that for personal service?
So many retailers talk-the-talk when it comes to customer service, but C. Wonderful truly walks-the-walk!
Associates all carry hand-held devices that can ring you up anywhere in the store, so there’s no need to stand in line at the counter when you’re ready to make a purchase. Genius.
C. Wonder is the ultimate shopping experience.
Can’t wait for their online store to open. My guess?
It will be an experience too.
Later, I’ve got to let the Dog out,
The fact that my initials are “C” + “W” has nothing to do with my adoration for C. Wonder. ;) Check ‘em out when you’re in New York!
