Shop Report: C. Wonder

Last week I paid my first visit to a marvelous new Soho store called C. Wonder. It's owned by Chris Burch, Tory Burch's ex-husband, and I must say that you will feel her influence here (there are lots of polished brass "C" emblems adorning everything from shoes to belt buckles). But this is a more affordable range of products. And while there is apparel and footwear in the area of $100, I gravitated towards the more affordable "goodies" ranging from personalized hostess gifts to shiny tabletop knickknacks. Really, there was very little in this store that I didn't love (anyone looking for a holiday gift for me? A gift card would be great..ahem). I'll show you more of my favorite products another time, but here are few that I snapped on my phone:

Girly trinket boxes including this small engraved heart box ($18) and round enamel boxes (various colors, $18):



Decorative metallic storage boxes (can't find on the C. Wonder website- sorry!):



I've always admired collections of blue-and-white vases; C. Wonder has an affordable selection of Classic Blue and White Ginger Boxes (starting at $58) and Ikat Blue and White Turtle Cylinder Ginger Jars (starting at $38):



There are lots of animal motifs throughout the store; bumblebees are one of my favorites: Busy Bee Cutting Board ($18):



This Monogram Cheese Board with spreader ($18) is a fantastic hostess gift at a low price:

Other easy-to-give goodies under $25 including must-have Alphabet Mugs ($8):


You can also set a very fancy-looking holiday table with tableware by C. Wonder. Dinner plates sell for as little as $12 each:


C. Wonder has just launched its e-commerce site, so even if you're not in New York to stop by, you can browse/shop away.
