"  It&amp;#039;s difficult to work in New York City fashion without owning a Clare Vivier clutch. The supple, leather bags most often seen with a monogram have become synonymous with on-the-go editors running from appointmnent to appointment. While one used to have to venture to her speciality retail partners like Steven Alan or Silverlake store to purchase a piece, that ends today, thanks to Vivier&amp;#039;s new Manhattan boutique. Located in the middle of Elizabeth Street in Nolita, clients can find her signature duffles, bowlers and fold over clutches amongst well-lit shadow boxes and a mural by artist Simone Shubuck. &amp;quot;It details our friendship and history with one another,&amp;quot; says Vivier. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ll find old photos, drawings from our children, and articles all mixed together.&amp;quot; The move to New York is part of a greater expansion for the designer, who is launching mens and shoes for Spring 2014. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to get ahead of myself, but I have big plans,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Apparel and lifestyle are definitely next.&amp;quot; In the meantime, though, New York is proving to be enough of an accomplishment. &amp;quot;For lack of a better phrase, it&amp;#039;s the fashion capital of the world,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re lucky to be here.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
