Welcome to the colorful world of John Derian. We find that people are always surprised and intoxicated by what a lovely little world is being created behind John Derian's doors. Charmed by the ambiance and the rich array, customers usually fall in love pretty quickly. It's practically sensory overload, in the best sense...
Specializing in his own decoupage glassware, John Derian also carries antiques and vintage items from around the world. Moroccan poufs sit alongside Turkish glass ornaments, vintage postcards, and whimsical paper mache dolls. John Derian's Dry Goods store (right down the street from his original decoupage store) carries imported textiles and linens from designers such as Lisa Corti and John Robshaw.
*John Derian's Dry Goods store is located at 10 East 2nd Street (between 2nd Avenue and the Bowery), right down the street from the John Derian Company store. Tel: 212.677.8408

Bring a lot of money. The stuff is gorgeous but OVER-PRICED.

I collect his plates and have them hanging in a cluster on my dining room wall. SO gorgeous. Yes, pricey but not too bad. I've received many as gifts and have also spotted some on ebay. Oh I got a great deal at Saks during a sale once, something like $30 for a small plate wth a gorgeous leopard on it!

What a charming shop! I especially love the the tableau of all the white china - is it milk glass? I could kill hours (and hundreds and hundreds of dollars) in here...

I love John Derian, I always end up buying something when I visit; John Robshaw pillows, a vintage trouble light, a Hugo Guinness print, Rogues Gallery tees, and more.
Don't forget to sign the guest book when you are there to get mailings about the sale each summer.

You can go buy those poofs at Home Goods right now for $80.

there's a shop here in Columbus that carries a lot of John Derian, and from the looks of it, models their layout after it.

Have refrained from commenting on most of the grammatical wackiness and malapropisms, but so help me, a "pouf" is an ottoman, folks. A "poof" is either an instantaneous interjection, a puff (as in smoke) or a disparaging Britishism I won't dignify here by defining, though if you know how the word's used in British slang, it does give baba yaga's comment a whole new meaning.
