Brooklyn Industries

Remember when Goldilocks found herself the perfect bowl of porridge? I feel like this might be the most perfect Brooklyn Industries in NYC.
It’s not too big and not too small. I’ve been to others in the city that were so stuffed with clothes the it made navigating impossible. I’ve also been in stores that are so big you need a megaphone to find your friend on the other side of the store; too much wasted space/​not enough merchandise. This place is just right.
It’s in a good neighborhood too, right in between the BK and Manhattan Bridges and easy to get to from either spot.
Staff was right down the middle. They greeted me when I walked in but let me wander for a minute before asking if I needed any help. I like a sales team that isn’t all crazy on top of you the second you walk in. Bravo to the staffers at BI for not being annoying.
Product wise its very similar to the other stores in the city — they’ve got plenty of flowy dresses for summer and balance it well with their shelves of classic «Brooklyn» t-​shirts.
I take away 1-​star because of the pricing of the merchandise (its because of this no BI will ever get a 5-​star outta me!) I really wish everything in the store wasn’t so darn expensive all the time (jersey maxi dress for $ 168?) Ugh! And truth be told I won’t be coming by often, I’ve got at least a half dozen BI’s closer to home/​work but I really liked just about everything at this location. Absolutely worth checking out.

Cool designs and friendly customer service are always a winning combination in my book. This store is bright and open with a decent selection of menswear as well as a respectable clearance section in the back. Pricing for their clothing is a little on the higher side but everything I’ve ever bought from BI has lasted through multiple washes. One thing to note, if you are interested in buying their Brooklyn Brewing branded clothing just buy the same items at the brewery as they are cheaper there.

I’ve been too busy either working, hanging out or shopping for myself that I was procrastinating on my dad’s birthday gift. Every where I went it seemed like no place carried something for my dad I really felt he would be satisfied with. Literally the day before my dad’s big day I walked into this store. As soon as I went inside I was amazed. At least 2 people began to greet me welcome. The staff here were so eager to help select my dad’s gift and I ended up buying him a nice Brooklyn hoodie which he uses all the time on weekends or when he goes away to Montauk. They also have a great sale section which makes me give them a thousand hearts !!!

This cute, clean location of Brooklyn Industries in DUMBO recently opened. The store is on the smaller side, though there is still a decent amount of inventory for both men’s and women’s clothing and accessories.
The sales staff were friendly and greeted me when I walked in, though they didn’t hover, which I appreciated. Music was playing in the background and a couple of other shoppers were in the store during midday.
Lots of options meant I tried on a few clothes (good sized sales section too!) and was met with quick and friendly assistance.
Will plan to swing by on a regular basis — far more affordable than some of the other clothing options in the area (NOS and Zoe) and with a quirkier BK Industries quality which I’ve come to expect.
