Calypso Au Marche

Wow, really surprised by some of the harsh reviews. I love this store and am super sad to see it close. The manager and staff were always lovely and welcoming and remembered my name each visit. I shopped here and full line and love every piece I’ve purchased. No issues with quality and always love the great design and workmanship.

Has gone WAY DOWN HILL since Christiane Celle sold out. Quality is cheap, falls apart after a few wearings, all cheap, mass produced in China. Has lost the individuality I once loved… I love my older «vintage» Calypso but since the company was sold, I don’t even bother… May as well shop at the GAP… disappointing.

Love the neighborhood, the brand but the vibe of the store is more sample /​warehouse sale than fancy calypso st barths au marche.
Clerks are neither friendly, helpful or on brand. Whatever the reason for their mediocrity its extremely dumb to have unhelpful sales people when you want clients to buy a $ 300 bathing tunic or sundress.
The sales are comparable to online.
The reason for this stores existence Calypso’s designer-​y stuff is annoyingly erratic in sizing, fabrication quality and overall fit. You must try on most of the clothes to ensure proper fit. Since, Au Marche is final sale and not eligible for exchange or credit.
The only reason to recommend this store is to make sure the designer duds look as good on your body as they do online.

Calypso Home,
You are the dearest and prettiest store on the block. You are full of gorgeous home goods that anyone would be lucky to have. Circular light fixtures with the daintiest little bulbs, super-​duper soft area rugs and blankets, bone inlay tables, accessories covered in gold foil and reeking of glamour. I absolutely love the beach chic thing you have going on.
So why the 3-​star rating? I had to take away two starts for the amount of times I had to look at the price tag. $ 900 for a set of nesting tables? Holy cannoli. My purse isn’t big enough to hold all the cash I would need if I was to go shopping in your store. :-/​
Maybe someday,
Alyssa

I’ve been a long-​time fan of Calypso’s fashion so I was really excited to enter into Calypso Home, expecting to fall in love with every item. Their home décor is very beach-​chic, but it did not appeal to me as much as their Calypso fashion line.
All of the items were very expensive, even down to a little belly-​warmer piece ($ 20 elsewhere, but $ 90 at Calypso). We were not greeted nor acknowledged at any point during our visit.

Can you keep a secret?
I really don’t want to write about this place… but that would be against my code as a Unilocaler.
Still, do not go around shouting about it from the rooftops or I’ll shoot you.
This location is the Calypso outlet of NYC. Whenever I’m in the SoHo area, I always try to stop by. The stock changes weekly and the sales people are so nice. Here you will find their trademark beautiful silk dresses and shirts for 30−50% off already discounted prices plus other brands and goodies. I have really lucked out scoring some beautiful blouses for $ 30 which would normally cost over $ 150 elsewhere. Dresses, don’t even get me started. I probably have around 10 of these beauties in my closet. Just this past month I indulged in a sassy, tassel dress that I just had to have… and I can’t wait to break it out for a speakeasy kind of night… or a burlesque kind of night… or any night that I want to shimmy shimmy.
Random morbid fact, but the store is right across from the apartment on Broome where Heath Ledger died… and I always think of him when I go there.

a lovely, relaxing shopping experience. very cool staff who are laid back and happy to help w/​o being pushy. I fell in love with Calypso’s textiles — simple but stylish rugs, pillows, bedding, poufs. you will certainly see the St. Barth’s influence of the company in its home décor. there’s kind of a sun kissed feel to everything in the store. prices for accessories are in $ 250 + range. Furniture is $ 700+.

I love this place. It’s around the corner from where I live so I go there frequently.
No heavy sales pressure. Excellent service. They do help you find appropriate clothing but tell you something looks good on you. Nice accessories. The clothing is slightly overpriced but it is what it is. You go in expecting to drop a few.
I like their selection of dresses and pants (love their skinny/​stretchy jeans). killer boots that I would not buy because, though GORGEOUS, I can think of many other things I’d like to do with a grand. I bought a few t-​shirt type shirts and they were over $ 100 but hey, screw it. you live once.
ONE NOTE: they have very small sizes out on the floor but do have bigger sizes upon request. It does cater to 0 – 4 but I’m an 8 and they usually have it.
Nice change over of merchandise but you can still go back and find those jeans… love them in white too.
They always remember me (of course, I bring my dog most of the time).
You’ll enjoy your experience here and probably find a few things to take home with you.

Smaller, decreased selection and higher prices than the old outlet :(

I am not paying a hundred bucks for «discounted» lyrca-​laced jersey! Though the store is pleasing with its jewel toned rainbow, the designers whose works grace the racks at Calypso spent more time selecting colors than cutting the fabric to fit anything but a hanger. Even the dress form would have trouble.

My latest shopping addiction. The Calypso outlet is AMAZING! I’ve spent a small fortune on several dresses that were normally between $ 300 &$ 400 and got them for between $ 29-​$ 89. Can’t wait for summer!

One of my favorite Shops in SoHo.
Dresses are Tropical, but Sexy. They are pricey but when you go to the Outlet right next door, it’s like getting a dress in H & M but Better styles!
Or cheaper sometimes (Retail price starts from $ 200.00) (Outlets are from $ 10.00 — $ 80.00).

No trip of mine to NYC is complete without a shopping pit stop here. Yes, some things are too shapeless in that ‘just hangs on you’ way. But I can usually also find some super cute skirt/​dress/​top at an incredible price. I think last time I was here I got an extremely work appropriate high-​waisted tan khaki skirt for 9 $.that’s right, 9 $! That’s barely lunch money.
Most things are summery and in bright colors. It can be a hit or miss, but the store’s small and not mobbed (ie Century 21) so even if you come back empty handed, your head doesn’t feel like it’s going to explode.
They also have jewelry which I will check out next time and there’s also children’s/baby clothing.
I think they have a new location down the street? I recall seeing something about it when I was there in Dec…

I agree with the other reviews here, this place was a find! I got a great cashmere dress, with color blocking for 40 dollars! I am wearing it as a write in fact. It is so soft and cuddly. I might live in it for the rest of the summer.
I might not be rich enough to need «resort» wear, but I can at least pretend I am in St. Tropez now. Ha!

Some cute dresses, but really, how many sherbet-​colored galebeas does one person need? And you know it’s just a fancied-​up mumu, right?

The Calypso Outlet is such a great find in SoHo. It’s very tres chic but also affordable. No really! There were some things that even I said I could afford and there were some things that if my foot were a size smaller or if I were a tad bit taller would be such a steal.
I didn’t walk out with anything but there were many things there that I loved. I wouldn’t necessarily wear everything here but overall for everyone it was a great selection.
You see, I am going to Cabo in October and there were a ton of flirty dresses I could wear as I frolick on the beach or just to look good in all those torturesome family photos.
In terms of accessories, there were some great metallic bags for $ 50-​$ 375. Cute but definitely an impulse and frivolous buy. As for shoes, one could walk away in $ 30 ankle boots. It only I were a size 6! Those were some hot shoes. And if you are looking for beach chic sandals, this is the place to go. Baubles and jewels galore– your feet will be dripped in drama and definitely looking fierce.
Lastly, Calypso gets 5 stars because they carry those really cute Indian inspired tops. You know the linen and cotton ones that are v-​necked, long sleeved, and have a decorative border. Think of Mariah Carey in the «We Belong Together» video. Before you throw up, I am referring to the shirt. They have those types of shirts here. And they are beautiful. If I wore one, would Wentworth Miller find me and break me out of prison?

Fantastic customer service. You will find some very unique items for your home decorating. I especially like the bedroom furniture. I agree with Susan S., the pillows beckon you like downy sirens…

Great clothing store to find original, colorful outfits without looking like a catwalk reject. Not for preppies, goth or wallflowers. There clothes are designed to make a splash. Super friendly sales people.
