A little north of a truly abysmal stretch of Canal street, Acne keeps a small but well curated selection of their expansive clothing line. The emphasis is on minimalist, expertly cut American and continental standbys. The outerwear is frequently impressive and frequently still around at sale time; I especially love their denim jackets. Everything but the jeans is massively overpriced at retail, but that's just in the nature of brands like this.
That said, the Max Raw are always a good buy. At 2 hundo, they ain't cheap but these things are built like Volvos (well, I guess? that simile got away from me). I had mine for a year before they even started to stretch and fade in any real way. The Cash overdyed black are a good buy as well.
It's a good place to find a lot of signature pieces to try on, but they're often on deeper sale elsewhere. -

Great place! Have bought about 3 pairs of jeans from this place thus far. the staff is super knowledgeable and can describe jeans in a way that you never thought. for instance, "this style is somewhat loose in the thigh and then tapers at the bottom.....like a carrot". sold. the dressing rooms are also really cool. it also doesn't hurt that they have a very attractive staff.

You know how in your mid-20s you have a stressful week and a zit suddenly appears on your nose right before a big date? As you do everything in your power to get rid of it just hours before said date you look in the mirror and think, "I thought we were over this?" That's a lot like shopping at ACNE.
There were a few pieces I actually liked, but the sales people are so bizarre. A bunch of them stand against the back wall elbow-to-elbow giggling and snickering and looking everyone up and down as they come in. If you look up, they giggle and run into the back and then another group of sales people comes out and repeats the same performance. It looked like my nerdy kindergarten class picture circa 1981.
As you try to go through one of the cramped racks, one of the sales people will stick his/her head around the rack silently and when you look up, he/she will run back to the wall, giggle and run through the back door. It was asinine, unprofessional and annoying.
I wanted to try a few things on, but wasn't interested in playing their game. Their clothing isn't that original, nothing that couldn't be found at Opening Ceremony, where the service is great.
My prediction, ACNE, like Cloak, will be gone in a few years, the only difference being, I'll have a beautiful Cloak suit to remember them by, but I left my ACNE in my jr high locker... -

If I had unlimited supplies of cash, I'd spend some serious dough-ray-me in this Soho boutique.
I'm essentially a Levi's guy, but these jeans are pretty sweet. They're made in Sweden, but don't seem too Euro for me. Acne also has nice khakis and even nicer fancy clothes like suits, slacks and blazers.
Sadly I don't have the never-ending cash flow, so my stockpile of Acne clothes remains a pair of hand-me-down jeans from my little fashionista bro. Still, I'll take what I can get.
I wonder if Ranger goalie Henrik Lundquist wears this shit.... -

A cult classic.
I love their Needle jean, the lyocell tops are perfect, the Lanvin collaboration is genius. Not to mention what they can do with leather and fringe. And I love that Acne's color palette is almost entirely neutral.
With that said, I was elated when Acne opened a stand alone boutique. Sifting through the racks at Opening Ceremony for Acne was getting tiresome, as they've always been relevant enough to have their own store. The store is just off Canal Street, across from a parking lot. It is light and airy, decor is minimalist, and the sales people are very helpful.
I should also add that its amazing how excited people get about Acne. Once after a shopping trip to the store, I stopped off in a bar on Broome Street for a drink. A tall, pretty boy noticed the Acne shopping bag and demanded that I show him what I had bought. -

I've been to this store twice, and both times I was the only shopper in there, which didn't feel awkward since they don't pressure you to buy anything...the staff is friendly and willing to help if you need it, otherwise they won't bother you (which i personally like, some people dont), the layout of the store is amazing, very chic...did i mention their dressing room is hidden behind a wall where the jeans are stacked
the jeans are excellent! i have jeans from a.p.c, ernest & sewn, theory, ralph lauren, nudies, and the acne ones are by far my favorite, they also offer instore hems if the length is too long which takes a few days...
the price may be steep for some people (200+ for jeans) but compared to mainstream jeans (ie: american eagle, A&F, express, etc), they are well worth it IMO.
nobody said fashion would be cheap, they're not JUST jeans
at least it's not 1k a pop like rby45rpm -

Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expressions) has opened their first store here in the states and I was lucky enough to duck in today. The store is a bit small, but extremely nice. Wood checked floors, stacked books, cute shabby chic bureaus and geometrical mirrors decorate the store that is packed with cute and casual designs, including their signature jeans. This store was opened in cahoots with the now infamous Opening Ceremony and the casual and cool vibe in the Acne store definitely pays homage to its mother store but still has its own quirky unique quality. Welcome to America, Acne.

Acne is one of my favorite labels. The store has everything you would expect. Thoughtful design, big selection of their stuff. Nice to see it all in person and in one place. People working their were friendly.

I came in with my brother to get him some jeans. The jeans are nice, however the staff is somewhat cold. Two of the women were nice but quiet. The other woman, who was taking our sale, did not smile once. It was bewildering and could be interpreted as rude. If it was not for the fact I have been given great reviews for this denim we would have walked right out. When I asked if he could try on more styles they basically refused. Anyone ever hear of "give the customer what they want". I made it clear that he had the money to purchase the denim and we were not jerking them around. Despite this they were very unhelpful in the denim selection. Really should get some new employees who are more helpful and friendlier. He probably would have bought more jeans if that was the case. Instead, we got the one pair and walked over to 7 for mankind, where we were well-received with a smile and helped after we made inquiries. So great (overpriced) denim and straight up horrible service.
