Another good reason to close the store today

Earlier today, we noted that Army & Navy Bags over at 177 E. Houston St. between Orchard and Allen was closed today so the owner could attend his daughter's graduation.

Spark Pretty, the vintage clothing shop over at 333 E. Ninth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue, also had a perfectly good reason to close up today... Cher is at the Barclays Center tonight ...

Back in May, stylist and vintage-thrift enthusiast Amanda Dolan opened 90s Forever, a month-long pop-up shop at 333 E. Ninth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Dolan is back now full time in the space with Spark Pretty, which specializes in rock-n-roll clothing and accessories from the 1970s-90s as well as novelty toys, home goods and, how she describes it, "modern-day apparel from up-and-coming designers."

Spark Pretty has its soft opening on Saturday. Dolan, who's working with her business partner Meagan Colby and in-house designer Thomas Knight, shared these interior shots ahead of the opening...





The store's hours are noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. You can see what else is in store via Spark Pretty's Instagram account here.
