Want in on the New Cool-Girl Clothing Destination? We're Proud to Introduce You to Young Love

March 14, 2013 at 5:58PM By Carly Cardellino |

Who isn't a fan of young love? It's happy, exciting, fun, and filled with endless options.

Now we'd like to introduce you to a new young love—one you might not be too familiar with, yet has all of the benefits of the one that gives you butterflies. 

Young Love is an E-commerce boutique based in NYC, started by three BFF's: Mercedes, Seymore, and Claire. The site is a fresh take on trendy clothing, but the prices definitely won't break the bank. We're talking $9 to $275.

"Our consumer shops high/low, but knows quality; we just want to curate the ultimate cool girl's closet online," Mercedes explains. "And with my dad's guidance (Mercedes's dad started Club Monaco and he is Joe (Mimran) of Joe Fresh), we were able to do just that when we began this project nine months ago."

What we thought was especially cool about these three chic ladies is that they were best friends since elemetary school!

"One day we were having beers and started brainstorming fashion ideas. We were all in fashion at the time but wanted to give girls original clothing options somehow, since we would go to parties and everyone would be wearing the same thing from Urban Outfitters or Nastygal," says Mercedes. "So, we painted this picture of what our company would look like and got started on creating Young Love."

"At our company, I do all of the visual aspects and site design, while Seymore is our merchandising guru, and Claire is our copy writer and writes the blog. She really knows our demographic and has nailed our voice," she says.

What can you expect to find at this East coast, NYC-born dot-com? "A plethora of young, emerging cool designers that are local girls like us," she adds. For example, the site is currently home to vintage pieces that are dip-dyed from designer Brooklyn Unicorn and Love Leather, a designer who creates leather goods that are super poppy and fun.

"[To anyone who asks,] we describe the site as if Jeremy Scott, a floral garden, and Gwen Stefani had a baby together. We're all '90s babies, so we really play into that nostalgia. We just want to post what we would want to see," adds Mercedes.

So, are you psyched to check out shopyounglove.com?
