"The East Village
is still the same.."
Visitors always comment
that with our 30 years in the same spot we must have seen major
changes.
To that I can only say the
East Village is still the same. It was a 30 something's
neighborhood when we arrived in 1979 and it's still a 30
something's place to live. Start up businesses are the
norm just like in the old days, but food is definitely much
improved. Crime is now confined to parking tickets so grab
a cab or subway and come for the day.
THE SHAPE OF LIES®
opened it's doors in New York's
East Village January 1st 1979. So far as we know we're the
only
Mom & Pop residential store
left in the neighborhood. We boast both an original tin ceiling and
a real wooden screen door! As our neighbors know; when the lights on
you can always knock for gifting emergencies....we live in back!
We design our own line of museum jewelry,
dedicated to reviving archetypal symbols and images created by
artisans throughout the ages. These diminutive works
of wearable art have become sought-after by shoppers seeking
unusual items of intellectual and spiritual value.
Most recently we've added several local designers, mixing it
up has been lots of fun. The only rule is that the
designers be truly local and make all of their jewelry in the
New York metropolitan area.
We hope our jewelry excites your
imagination and look forward to hearing from you or seeing you
in the shop. When you visit we will be more than happy tell you
a little local history and recommend some yummy neighborhood
eateries. Remember half the fun of “Shopping” the East Village
is “Eating” the East Village!
