The vogue for handicraft in art and fashion finds a charming home here, as everything from clothing to furniture is customized. Framed nineteenth-century etchings, Persian-blue ceramics, embroidered pillows, modernized vintage shirts, and black beaded necklaces all call out to be purchased, as if possessed. In this supersaturated display, it’s difficult to tell what’s old and what’s new. Heavy leather bags look like they could have been made out West during the gold rush. Cryptic labels add to the puzzle. Saved’s owner-designers, Noel Hennessy and Sean McNanney, make and remake most of the merchandise, young designers contribute some, and vintage dealers supply the rest.
