Luxury retailer L'Ensemble has opened a permanent storefront at 99 Water Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn, bringing curated designer fashion and personalized styling services to the neighborhood.

After a successful pop-up experience in December 2024, L'Ensemble has established its permanent home in DUMBO's historic waterfront district.

"DUMBO is New York City's new design district. L'Ensemble's decision to establish a permanent presence here following the success of their temporary storefront speaks to the neighborhood's allure for design-oriented retailers that see the benefit of DUMBO's energy, charm and local customers who appreciate unique, high-quality products and experiences."

Jed Walentas, Principal of Two Trees Management

A Thoughtfully Designed Shopping Experience

The new L'Ensemble storefront was designed by interior designers Patrick Bozeman and Edgar González, featuring wood sculptures by Chandler McLellan and hand-picked mid-century furnishings. The space includes walnut chairs and a smoked glass top coffee table by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, while fitting rooms are draped in white wool curtains by Nordic Knots.

Designer Brands for Every Budget

The boutique presents an artfully assembled collection that represents a curated range of aesthetics—from the architectural pleats of Homme Plissé by Issey Miyake to the refined tailoring of Kallmeyer, the understated elegance of Veronica de Piante, and the sculptural accessories of Savette.

For the discerning shopper with a more modest budget, L'Ensemble hasn't forgotten you. The store thoughtfully incorporates the clean Scandinavian aesthetics of Mfpen, the timeless feminine silhouettes of Skall Studio, and the French-inspired pieces from Loulou de Saison—all brands that deliver on both quality and design without the stratospheric price tags of their luxury counterparts.

"We are thrilled to move into our new location in DUMBO—a neighborhood which embodies the vibrant and sophisticated spirit of our brand. It's inspiring to be a part of DUMBO's creative community."

Dawn Nguyen, founder of L'Ensemble

Their DUMBO location also marks L'Ensemble's expanded commitment to menswear, reflecting the evolving landscape of contemporary fashion where gender boundaries continue to blur. The boutique now offers carefully selected pieces for men alongside its established womenswear and home goods collections.
