These two boutiques stock one-of-a-kind jewelry, handmade women’s clothing, and casual wear for the Williamsburg set. Both are tiny—about the size of a neighborhood studio. Owner and former seamstress Rony Vardi decorated both with sky-blue walls, vintage mirrors, and Moroccan lamps, and sells some of her own jewelry alongside intricate, gold charm necklaces by Paper Fig and repurposed copper pieces. At the Metropolitan Avenue location, Vardi curates a rotating collection of hipster casual wear, including wardrobe staples like customized Wranglers, corduroys from Built by Wendy, seventies cult-movie ring-neck tees, and Made with Love by Hannah wrap skirts, silk-screened with the images of one of the store’s favorite subjects: woodland creatures. And though Catbird’s after-hours shopping parties are no more, savvy boyfriends can still stumble in to find the perfect gift for their indie gal. The Bedford Avenue store—which stocks primarily jewelry—even allows shoppers to keep wish lists on file. — Carolyn Murnick
