After nearly 10 years on Ninth Street, Love Only recently closed up on the block between Avenue A and First Avenue.
Founder Carmen Ruiz-Davila, who also had an outpost in Williamsburg, moved to Spain several years ago before relocating to Amsterdam.
As Ruiz-Davila, a Barcelona native, wrote in an Instagram post: "We have met so many wonderful people along the way, and we just want to say thank you for all of your support. I moved to Spain two years ago and now Amsterdam, which has made it really tough to manage the stores. I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my life and hoping to see most of you in the future."
The shop first debuted as Love Gang. (Read more about that here.)
The space wasn't vacant long.
Designer Carie Evans, who has done pop-ups from a storefront right next door, is now operating Salvage Cloth here...
Per the Salvage Cloth website: "We work with recovered fabrics along with 'up-cycled' vintage cloth to create a unique brand of ethics and style. Our passion is the appreciation of design with a mission of low-waste."
