In the midst of a Manhattan love story in the making, Robin reconnected with a long-time friend and ex-manager at a retail store opening just two blocks away. Within this retail store labeled, ‘Todd Snyder’, there lie an unused, perfectly built out studio acting as a storage unit for merchandise. An opportunity presented itself.

With their relationship taking major steps forward, their career craved the same attention. In the same year of their engagement, a business agreement was emerging with Todd Snyder. They felt called to create a space and build a new culture where people felt right at home. T’s were crossed, i’s were dotted. One year later, two licenses were signed; both representing unity.

Out of a product depository birthed a family-owned and operated beauty boutique housing untapped, under-the-radar talent. But that was just the beginning. A fast four years later—during the height of the pandemic—the duo took advantage of the decreasing commercial prices all over the city. Their plan to expand their company was years in the making, but now their sights were set on heading back downtown…where it all started.
