Closure Report: Hairy Mary’s at 149 Orchard
This image has been archived or removed.
The fall of Hairy Mary’s Vintage last week marks the third in a series of storefront closures at 147-149 Orchard Street in less than six months. Hudson Street Papers called it quits over the summer, and Guitar Man re-located to 116 East Seventh Street back in early October. Despite the bad news, however, the “vintage” boutique is not down for the count. They will now maintain a steady weekend presence across the river at the Brooklyn Flea Market.

We are really grateful to you, all our customers, that have discovered us on Orchard St and to the many of you out there that have known us since our Chelsea Flea Market days, we appreciate that you keep coming back and spreading the word about us. We have loved having the store and love finding great things for you all. A big thank-you for all the great notes you have sent us,. Being able to contribute to you feeling fabulous, enjoying shopping and having fun dressing makes it all worth while.
