    You could say it was serendipity that led Sea\u2019s Sean Monahan and Monica Paolini to open their first store on Canal Street. Industry types who are familiar with the label will also be familiar with its longtime studio on Canal\u2014a dreamy, expansive space on the fifth floor of a nondescript building in between Mercer and Church\u2014with no elevator. To picture Monahan and Paolini anywhere else was sort of impossible; that space mirrored the low-key, vaguely bohemian vibe of their collections, and there was something charming about the un-fancy zip code. In the past year, though, things began to change: Roman and Williams Guild opened across the street, and a string of empty spaces on Canal got a facelift thanks to United American Land, which tapped artists and designers to open pop-ups.\u00a0Then, the space on the ground level of Sea\u2019s building opened up, so they jumped at the chance to move their studio\u2014and the airy front room seemed like a no-brainer for a store.\u00a0
    \n\u2028
    \nIt opened a couple weeks ago, and it\u2019s arguably the first legitimate designer-led fashion shop to open on Canal. While the address might have seemed risky for other brands, it felt natural to Monahan and Paolini.\u00a0\u201cWe couldn\u2019t picture opening a store anywhere else,\u201d Paolini says. \u201cWe didn\u2019t even look in Soho or the West Village.\u201d They gutted the entire space, whitewashed the walls, and filled it with wildflowers and elegant, low-key furniture by Fort Standard, Vonnegut\/Kraft, and Grain, all picked up from their neighbor, Colony. It\u2019s beautiful and inviting\u2014and it will no doubt inspire other brands to consider the area as Soho rents continue to skyrocket and that \u201cnorthern Tribeca\u201d neighborhood becomes more elevated. (Along with the Guild, Beth Bugdaycay\u2019s gorgeous Foundrae store is just around the corner on Lispenard Street; a couple blocks away, there\u2019s La Gar\u00e7onne and a few more furniture and design shops.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Die-hard Sea fans are likely already aware of the store, but tourists and downtowners who find themselves on Canal this weekend will be instantly curious. Right now, the storefront is covered in lush greenery for the holidays, and last-minute shoppers should consider Sea\u2019s excellent cashmere knits and Indian-printed dresses for their stylish mothers, sisters, and friends. Monahan and Paolini are working on exclusive capsules for the store (this writer has been begging them for a \u201ctrue\u201d evening collection\u2014i.e., slips and unfussy cocktail dresses, which are hard to find at this price point!) and since their studio is just behind the wall, you may even find one of them on the shop floor. Most customers won\u2019t know it\u2019s Monahan or Paolini styling their look, of course; Sea\u2019s Instagram isn\u2019t littered with selfies or photos of the duo at work. They\u2019re happier being somewhat anonymous. Visit the store this weekend at 324 Canal Street. If you\u2019re heading somewhere warm for the holidays, you\u2019ll be happy to know their Resort collection just dropped.<\/p>\n
