Upstate - Clothing and Home Goods Studio

Shopping for home goods in New York often means choosing between mass-produced basics and overpriced boutiques. Upstate offers a middle ground—curated essentials that feel intentional without the markup. The studio blends clothing and household items in a way that reflects how people actually live, not just how catalogs suggest they should. It’s a quiet alternative to the usual retail noise, tucked where the city’s energy softens into something more deliberate.

The space sits on the third floor at 103 E Broadway, New York, NY 10002, above the street-level bustle. That extra flight of stairs might deter some, but it also keeps the crowd smaller, the browsing slower. Here, you’ll find textiles that hold up beyond a season, kitchenware that doesn’t scream trends, and pieces that feel like they were chosen by someone who actually uses them. The selection leans toward the practical, though never at the expense of design—think linen napkins that won’t wrinkle in protest, or a ceramic mug that fits an adult hand.

If you’re planning a visit, the best approach is to call ahead; the studio’s hours can shift with the day. Reach them at the number listed on their site, or check for updates before heading over. Directions are straightforward via this map. The neighborhood itself is worth lingering in—less polished than SoHo, but with enough cafes and bookshops to make the trip feel like an outing, not just an errand.
