In Paris, Don Carney and John Ross, owners of Patch NYC, were inspired by the little storefronts serving as retail annexes to artists’ studios. “It’s the opposite of Newbury Street, more of an artistic space,” says Carney, 42, of the new boutique under their South End studio. “It’s unexpected and very small, kind of a step back in time.” They stock both one-of-a-kind pieces and costume jewelry, as well as original drawings, scarves and candles. “Hopefully, it’ll be a treasure to someone.”
