‘Tis the season of gifting and celebration. Lucky you, Hudson Valley visitor or resident, with such a glittering array of choices! Whatever you want, you can find it here; lots of amazing things are made right here by world-class creatives, and our shopkeepers make an art of the presentation. You’ll also find gorgeous creatively and ethically sourced items from all ‘round the globe.
Many of our merchants upped their online game during Covid, and you’ll find you can even shop local at a lot of these places from the comfort of your couch. But do treat yourself to a retail expedition, now that it’s an option again. Celebrate the return of downtown. Meet makers, sellers, and fellow seekers, share a smile, browse, grab a bite someplace nice. Even if shopping’s not normally your thing, you’re likely to find yourself having a blast, with shops prettied up for the season and folks wishing each other well.
It’s also a great way to combine having fun and doing good. Buying from the indies brings four times the local economic benefit of money spent in a big-box chain, although you’ll have to forego the boredom and frustration one gets for free in those. When you shop locally in the Hudson Valley, supporting our indie makers and shopkeepers, you’re giving a gift to everyone, helping to keep our towns, villages, and byways vibrant, fascinating, and prosperous, helping keep the safety net strong and the arts alive. Shopping local is love in action.
clothing and footwear
The Hudson Valley’s clothiers offer something for every taste, from haute couture to Carhartt. Some clever clothes originate right here; many others are hand-selected for you by fashion-forward curators who know their way around the racks from New York City to Morocco and everywhere in between Silks? Cotton? Buttery vegan leather? Tailored or easygoing? It’s all here.
