Bringing style home.
Big Lives curates emerging designers in seasonal collections. We source beautiful homes as backdrops for unique pop up events.
THE THING ABOUT RETAIL
Retail isn’t dead - it’s dusty. We believe shopping is best done in person, where you discover the heart of a brand. But transacting is most convenient online. Big Lives creates an experience that is both inspiring and seamless.
Our Spring-Summer Collection
Style is a form of celebration. Remarkable pieces accentuate special moments. Big Lives curates emerging designers who share our philosophy.
Ready-to-Wear
We curate stand-alone pieces from contemporary designers that will capture moments. A dress for a dear friend’s wedding, a jacket for travel, a sweater to keep you cozy on an amazing night. Big Lives sources pieces ripe for memories to come.

Shoes
We believe in transformative footwear. Remember that shoe - the one that belonged to you before you owned it. The one that changed the way everything looked on you. The one that changed how everyone looked at you. We want this for you, every season.

Accessories
We say a purse is personal. Why you choose it, how much you treasure it, what you put inside. It’s a time to be yourself, on the daring side. Our accessories channel independence, playfulness, vibrancy.

Jewelry
We cherish the moment when a piece of jewelry becomes a companion. You go through experiences together. We curate modern, one-of-a-kind pieces on the path to becoming your witness, protector, thing of magic or superstition.

Christine grew up with a sewing needle in her hand, immigrating to NYC from Vietnam at the age of 3. Designing clothes became her first love as she worked by her mother's side in factories. Having attended Parsons and interned with Christian Lacroix in Paris, Alcalay opened her Park Slope studio/shop in 2002 with an ultra-feminine, timeless sensibility.
