Philanthropist and entrepreneur Lizzie Tisch is bringing downtown to uptown, transforming the old Cartier boutique on NYC’s Madison Avenue into a present day-working day cupboard of curiosities.
Like the centuries’ outdated rooms that housed wondrous and unique objects, the LTD by Lizzie Tisch retailer functions whimsical clothing and objets d’art from compact, sustainable brands.
There are colorful kaftans and dress coats designed with hand-loomed silks, prosperous brocades and wools from designer Nazzy Beglari, who’s primarily based in New York and Abu Dhabi. There is playful jewellery designed by New York jewelry designer Mckenzie Liautaud, which include the brand’s Cupola Magic Crystal necklace, which turned a beloved of equally Tisch and actor Sarah Jessica Parker. Not to point out the “f——–ck” mug developed by artist Dustin Yager at Ceramics + Theory, as effectively as classic china “insult” cups by Miss Havisham’s Curiosities, with messages these types of as “I Hope You Choke” and “Yep, Even now Single.”
“I’m a large stalker,” claims Tisch, a perpetual Vainness Truthful greatest-dressed-lister who’s been curating pop-up boutiques in the Hamptons, Palm Beach and at the Loews Regency, the Park Avenue resort owned by spouse Jonathan, for the previous 5 years. “I appreciate the hunt and I appreciate the find.”
(The pair are also dynamic patrons of the arts, donating $10 million to the Metropolitan Museum of Artwork in 2011, and serving as early backers of the Lose, the cultural centre in Hudson Yards.)
Reclining in pale jeans and Philipp Plein velvet loafers with glittery beaded skulls on a velvet effortless chair in her eponymous boutique, she describes that the “LTD” refers to both Lizzie Tisch Style and design and Lizze Tisch Discovers.
The retail store stands apart from retail on Madison Avenue, with its unfinished concrete partitions and exposed pipes. A exhibit of velvet pillows sits on piles of hay at the entrance. The space has an casual, neighborhood vibe, recalling the days when the avenue was residence to a collection of smaller boutiques alternatively than multinational brand names.
“People never want to store extravagant any longer, and Lizzie instinctively understood this when we discovered the place,” notes her companion, celeb stylist and entrepreneur Robert Verdi. “The complete area seemed like Beirut right after the war.”

Tisch embraced the chaos, not seeking to address up the flaws in the retail room. For her, the store’s raw interiors epitomized the philosophy of the manufacturers they carry, which is “all about reviving, restoring, revitalizing — the complete aesthetic is constructed on renovation with a whole lot of tongue-in-cheek,” Verdi suggests.
Sustainability is also the ethos guiding the store’s solutions, which includes New Yorker Darcy Barber’s quilted coats and jackets, manufactured from repurposed textiles and comforters. Barber began generating the outerwear for her manufacturer, Socially Appropriate Jammies, all through the COVID pandemic.
“I love that we are encouraging to bring out new content material that has not been seen in advance of,” states Tisch. “We’re operating with a whole lot of more youthful models that wouldn’t otherwise discover a property on Madison Avenue … and I am thrilled we are executing our aspect to support the town we adore arise from the pandemic.”
