The Red Hook location of Prospect Heights stalwart Red Lipstick is set open next Saturday, October 3rd. The new boutique is on Van Brunt, near the corner of Dikeman. As we reported last month, the store’s owner was going to try to keep her Vanderbilt Avenue location and simply expand to the Van Brunt space, but she now says that lease negotiations with her Prospect Heights landlord didn’t go swimmingly, so she’s closing up that shop and the Red Hook store will be her only outpost. The women’s boutique had been in Prospect Heights for 10 years. GMAP
ugh, this blows. i love that store, and i’ve already decided to quit visiting red hook.
Oh yeah… drug front *and* and canine brothel. The red hook location might actually be better for the latter purpose.
I love Red Lipstick and Stacey the owner. My gf always find great stuff there including sometimes even for trendy clothes-phobic me. Too bad she is leaving the nabe, although we do visit Red Hook pretty often. Amazing that in a recession a landlord wouldn’t work to keep a good tenant. It’s a tiny space and I can’t believe businesses are lining up to get in there. Retail real estate is a total mystery to me.
Red Lipstick.
Is it a canine brothel or something?
11217 — That store is just a front for laundering money from heroin and crystal meth. The location isn’t that important.
Not quite sure why you’d close up on Vanderbilt and open in Red Hook. The amount of foot traffic on Vanderbilt has to be 100 times what it is on Van Brunt.
Good luck to her all the same.
That’s too bad they’re leaving Vanderbilt. Stupid move on the part of the landlord imo. It’s a small place and it was a stable, nice business. Good luck filling the place with an equally stable revenue generating tenant.
