The Vacation Shop - Plan your getaway
“If you are anywhere near Dumbo, you must stop into this store. I was on the prowl for the perfect white button down when I walked into Yesaet and discovered the Taitu. It’s a beautifully fitted button down in a gorgeously distinct japanese cotton plisse, with all gold buttons. I now also own it in the black sheer, and plan to get every color by the time I’m done! All her pieces are amazingly versatile, can be dressed up or down. I haven’t gone on a trip - business or pleasure- without one of her pieces… An absolute Brooklyn treasure.”

“I found a dress from this brand in a shop in Amagansett. I thought it was so beautifully made; the silhouette was unique, comfortable and flattering. I began to obsess and looked into the brand to find they have a shop in Brooklyn! Long story short, I got 2 more dresses and a jumpsuit with plans to acquire more. I rarely spend so much on myself but it is SO WORTH IT! I live in the dresses all spring, summer and fall. I especially love the fabrics she uses from Ethiopia 😍😍 they’re ridiculously luxurious.”
