Veronica Beard: Discover the New Boutique at Americana Manhasset

The Veronicas have arrived at Americana Manhasset! Veronica Beard, the coveted American ready-to-wear brand, founded in 2010 that is already a staple in every stylish wardrobe from Manhattan to San Francisco (and beyond), has debuted its first Long Island retail unit, stocking the full ready-to-wear collection, including an array of styles of the iconic Dickey jacket, not to mention jeans and shoes categories, as well as special third party collaborations.

Describing the addition as a natural extension to their retail family of shops, Veronica Swanson Beard said, "We knew this would be the perfect location since many of our customers in this area already consider the Americana to be their primary shopping destination." Adds Veronica Miele Beard, "It is truly an honor to join the other retail stores here and we can't wait to welcome our customers into the world of VB."

To bring the Veronica Beard vision to life, the ladies worked with interior designer Carolina de Neufville to outfit the store. A match stick chandelier hangs above a glass and lucite table, anchored by a vintage Moroccan carpet with tones of pink, welcoming clients into the 1,300-square-foot space filled with vintage furniture, leopard print accents and custom brass and copper hanging fixtures. Complimenting the pieces is a Master Craft credenza with 70s vintage brass table lamps at the back of the store. Oh, and make sure to say hello to Muffie, the store's leopard mascot! 

We caught up with the codesigners and sisters-in-law at the grand opening. Enjoy!
