Reflection

Fur coat shops still hold a quiet niche in Manhattan’s luxury ecosystem, long after the seasonal fur boom cooled. Reflection fits that profile without fanfare, tucked among the townhouses and doorman buildings that define the stretch of Lexington Avenue between 75th and 80th Streets. The shop sits on the ground floor of the same block where Fifth meets Park, inside a 1920s limestone building whose entrance blends into the neighborhood rhythm. Inside the glass display pivots in winter and at holiday seasons, pulling tan leather gloves and silk scarves into small tableaux next to caramel-brown shearling wraps. Alterations and fitting appointments run year-round, not just before Christmas parties. Practical details only: 1054 Lexington Ave New York, NY 10021, 212-794-0830.
