When a group a friends decided to open a surf shop in Manhattan back in 2009, more than a few people questioned the wisdom of the choice. Now four years on, with 2 shops in New York and one in Japan, Saturdays is thriving and recognized not only as a surf shop, but as an international brand. In store you’ll find their own seasonal clothing, special collaborations, well chosen artwork and excellent publications (including their own Saturdays Magazine). There’s even an in-house coffee shop and relaxing outdoor patio to hang and pass time. The juxtaposition of these offerings is what make Saturdays a magnet for surfers and non-surfers alike. Now is a perfect time to visit any of the Saturdays locations as they’ve recently released their Spring 2013 collection.
