WANT Apothecary

WANT Apothecary was conceived as a way to recapture the essence of the intimate, trusted and neighborly retail experience of a bygone era. Loosely inspired by the atmosphere of a 19th century pharmacy, this concept shop presents a unique opportunity for customers to discover a trusted resource for their style and beauty needs. Nestled amongst local boutiques, fine grocers, florists and cafés, this lifestyle shop has been carefully curated by the same creators of leather goods brand, WANT Les Essentiels. Appropriately, the shop embraces the same design ethos as the celebrated accessories brand: timelessness, quality and a modern interpretation of the past. WANT Apothecary stocks a selection of narrowly distributed yet highly desired international fashion brands, including Acne Studios, Commes des Garçons, Jil Sander, Junya Watanabe, Toteme, Fleur du Mal, M. Martin, Filippa K, and, naturally, WANT Les Essentiels. A carefully edited array of beauty and body-care products including Grown Alchemist, Susanne Kaufmann, Cosmetics 27, Verso and Byredo rounds out this selective offering. Created together with interior designer Maria Rosa di Ioia, the shop features aged herringbone floors, custom-designed dark oak tables and Roll & Hill smoked bulb chandeliers. Natural and classic materials such as American walnut, Bianco Carrara marble and brushed copper lend a sense of tradition and warmth to the environment. Patrons enjoy unparalleled personalized service, and are encouraged to confidently pamper themselves with smart fashion, beauty essentials and home wares that fulfill their daily needs...and wants.
