For the woman looking for the perfect outfit for a night out in New York City, or an accessory to make an outfit just a little more special, Saugerties is quickly becoming the place to shop. Saugerties was and still is known as an antique store town. But several have

closed recently, and with the new boutiques, the village may be on its way to a new image.

This past weekend two new women’s designer clothing stores opened; Cherry Blossoms at 114 Partition St., and W Couture at 250 Main St.,

joining longtime designer women’s clothier DIG at 89 Partition Street and Juda Leah Atelier & Boutique at 103 Partition St.

There is also a rumor making the rounds that another shop on Partition Street undergoing renovations will also offer designer clothing for

women.
