Ali Kriegsman is the co-founder of Bulletin, a platform dedicated to helping female-led brands access physical retail space for the first time through their own store and their wholesale marketplace. Ali shares her five favorite stores in NYC.  

You just watched the U.S. Women’s Soccer team destroy the rest of the world and then party like there’s no tomorrow after winning the World Cup. You are feeling an extra dose of feminist empowerment but aren’t sure how to channel it. Head over to the Bulletin store in Nolita for some inspiration and to check out the latest in feminist fashion. The store stocks clothing and accessories to help you express your feelings proud and out-loud. Whether you choose a hat that says “GRL PWR” or a trophy for “1st Place in Giving Zero F***s” you are sure to find something here to fit your mood. Check out more on Bulletin in our Retail Therapy guide.

In addition to their own store, Bulletin has branched out into becoming a platform dedicated to helping female-led brands access physical retail space for the first time through their wholesale marketplace. Since Bulletin always stocks the latest and coolest brands, we asked co-founder Ali Kriegsman to share her top five stores to get a taste of where she looks for inspiration. Check our her picks below!

1. BULLETIN 

Nolita | Website

"I'm biased, but this lovely Nolita spot features all female-founded brands and is instagrammable as hell!" 

2. AMERICAN TWO SHOT

Soho | Website

"The buyer and owner, Steph, is a genius! She finds incredible modern brands before the wider world seems to know about them, so you're always shopping the newest "it" items before anyone else." 

3. FRIENDS

Bushwick | Website

"Incredible vintage and indie brands. This store has a fun, eclectic point of view and some of the best affordable sunnies in the city." 

4. THE BREAK

Greenpoint | Website

"Incredible vintage and designer apparel, accessories and jewelry. Near tons of fun furniture + vintage stores in Greenpoint, too, so you'll get lost shopping and exploring the entire neighborhood." 

5. L TRAIN VINTAGE

Gowanus | Website

"Right near my house (lucky me!) and seriously cute and on-trend $10-and-under finds. Tees, dresses, incredible denim and other pants. A thrifty girl's dream come true."
