Founded in 1910, the specialty retailer, Hirshleifers, is just a quick ride from New York City. At the forefront of global luxury, Hirshleifers started as a furrier in Brooklyn. Now, followers of Chanel, Chrome Hearts, The Row, Saint Laurent and more beat a path to our door.

The store is run by sisters and co-chief executives Shelley, Caryn, and Lori Hirshleifer, David Sills, chief creative officer, and the 5th generation, Marci Hirshleifer, Andrew Feinberg, and Rob Sills. Hirshleifers has evolved into a full-blown fashion hub where clients can connect with our unique, personal buys and discover the ultimate luxury shopping adventure.

• In Photoshop, moving the item to our template and cleaning up lint or dust

• Assigning completed photos to the appropriate item in our inventory tracking program
