Jillery is moving to 7th and B



Jillery, the jewelry and home accessories shop, is moving from its current home on East 10th Street to the corner of East Seventh Street and Avenue B, most recently home to Amaran.

Artist Jill Fagin launched her business in 1987. (Read more about that here.)

We originally reported that a yoga studio was taking over the space on Seventh and B, though that business was just one of the possibilities for the corner.

As for Jillery signing a lease here, Anna Pastoressa, president of the board of directors of the co-op at 184 E. Seventh St., told us the following:

Our co-op is very proud to have rejected chain stores, banks, bars and loud food establishments. We are proud to have chosen a local business like Jillery who has been in the neighborhood for many years and we wish Jillery great success in our corner.

After some cosmetic renovation on the space, Jillery is eyeing an end-of-August opening.



Thanks to Bill the libertarian anarchist for the initial tip!

    Good news -- although a loss for 10th Street, they will have better visibility at 7 & B!

    Great news!
    Jillery is such a great success story of a local artisan making it - and what a great business for this corner. I am so relieved it is a store I will want to go in and especially grateful it is not another douchey overpriced lounge or chain store!!

    Many thanks to the tenants of that building who had enough care for the neighbors and the 'hood to bring in such a positive asset. I can't imagine the money they will be losing thanks to their decision not to lease to a mega-corporation, but it is appreciated. Too bad they don't own 500 East 11th Street as well...

    I am so proud of Jillery and I just KNOW that corner store will bring her even greater exposure and success.
