Shahla Karimi<\/a>, the jeweler who has taken the A Uno \/ Baby Cottons space<\/a> on that prominent Tribeca corner of West Broadway and Duane, is aiming for a holiday 2026 opening. I had a brief exchange on email with her and her team:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a woman-owned and led fine jewelry brand, and we\u2019re incredibly excited to become part of the neighborhood,\u201d her team wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that so much of the block is woman-owned businesses!\u201d Shahla wrote. If we go north and south of the corner plus a bit east, she\u2019s talking about Glowbar<\/a>, Onda<\/a>, Balloon Saloon<\/a>, Musaafer<\/a> (a married couple, actually), Spiral (x,y,z)<\/a>, The Odeon<\/a>, Madison Reed \u2014 what am I missing?<\/p>\n

Shahla\u2019s eponymous fine jewelry brand was founded initially as a hobby on Etsy in 2008. She launched formally in 2014 out of Kentucky.<\/a> They currently take appointments only out of their showroom on Broadway and Houston.<\/p>\n

The details for the space aren\u2019t finalized yet \u2014 they are in a historic district \u2014 but the store is being designed by Wiskup Projects, led by Evan Wiskup. \u201cEvan started as a client nearly five years ago when we made his engagement ring,\u201d Shahla said, \u201cand he later designed our Wiskup X Shahla collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

The space will have a series of vaulted ceilings, a minimalist tribute to Persian architecture, with a design studio connected to the store and vitrines built into the architecture. \u201cOur jewelry has always been inspired by architecture,\u201d she added, \u201cand here it literally becomes part of the building. The collection and the space complete each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

When they open, they will have a new capsule collection celebrating sacred spaces, including the Oculus as well as nods to Toyo Ito\u2019s Tama Art University Library and Kengo Kuma\u2019s portico at Angers Cathedral. The opening show will also feature past designs honoring Tadao Ando\u2019s Church of the Light (the Ando Bombe ring) and the Azadi Tower in Tehran (necklace and earrings).<\/p>\n

Shahla has worked in product strategy and merchandising for Celine, Versace, Prada and Stella McCartney and produced apparel collections for Vogue and the CFDA, and served as director of merchandising for Barack Obama\u2019s re-election campaign. She is Kentucky bred and Manhattan based.<\/p>\n

More when they are ready to open.<\/p>\n
