The Cut

In Her Store: Susan Alexandra

In the Lower East Side on Orchard Street, there’s a colorful little store with a bejeweled beaded banana handle. It’s Susan Korn’s baby, the Susan Alexandra Store. Susan’s aesthetic is like if Lisa Frank, Betsy Johnson and Hello Kitty had a baby. There’s beaded purses, key chains, dog collars, wallets, jewelry and all the little trinkets to delight your inner child. It’s a place you can’t just talk about, you have to experience it. So Lindsay and her producers took a little field trip. For the first time on In Her Shoes, we go In Her Store. On this episode, we get to tour the Susan Alexandra store, learn more about Susan as a designer and how she got started in the industry.
