Vaute Couture, an independently funded vegan fashion label recently raised $13,000 on Lucky Ant to finish their flagship store and bring their fashion revolution to the streets of Williamsburg.  Started in the fall of 2008, Vaute Couture has been making vegan eco-friendly coats that are fashionable enough for New York City streets but also warm enough for a Chicago winter. After a few years of success online, Founder & CEO Leanne Hilgart decided to open their first store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The store, which also doubles as the HQ for the brand.

Lucky Ant, which launched in January, is the first crowd-funding site specifically targeting local businesses. Each week, Lucky Ant features a project from a business in a neighborhood that needs to be funded. Visit their website for more info www.luckyant.com.

Custom is one of my favorite places for drinks and American snack food.  They apply art to making simple foods like sliders, hot dogs, fries and even the complimentary popcorn given to snack on when you seat down is great.  They have hands down the best cheese fries I’ve ever tasted.  All with a great selection of Wines and one of my favorite and rarely found wheat beers from “Southampton.”

Not another coffee shop or bar, but a sewing studio joints the neighborhood.

On February 5, 2012 in South Williamsburg will have a new addition to the neighborhood – not another coffee shop or bar, but a new sewing studio. SEWMonie will be opening thier second studio space.  Unlike the first retail location, this new location will be geared towards sewing classes, local craft meet-ups and co-hosting weekend pop-up shops with local designers and craftsmen.

Moni Briones began from her Brooklyn home and with SEW Moni, has proved that with enough push, heart, and research (from SCORE to writing a bizz plan) one can really make their home grown craft dreams a thriving business.  Sewing, fashion and clothing classes are sure to be in abundance and will be a nice complement to the D-I-Y community in Williamsburg.
