The North Slope’s gonna be packing more…packing stuff. As Racked reported yesterday, trendy luggage purveyor Flight 001 is opening a store on 5th Avenue between St. Marks and Bergen within the next month or so. (For those of you trying to keep up with 5th Avenue’s dizzying retail turnover, the space Flight 001 is taking over used to house a hardware biz that’s moved a couple storefronts down.) The company’s already tested the Brooklyn waters with its Smith Street location, and the so the hop to the Slope would seem to signal that the Smith-ification of 5th is continuing apace.
