How would you sum up your shop in three words?

Accessible, Chic, Understated

If you both were attending a red carpet event, what would you wear?

Camilla: In a dream world? Lanvin or Nina Ricci (while Olivier Theyskens was still at The Helm), lots and lots of vintage diamonds, red lipstick, and Christian Louboutin heels.

Rand: I love it when celebrities wear things on the red carpet where it looks like they actually came from their closet and not a press office or design house. Alexa Chung, for example, really nails laid-back red carpet sass. She always looks comfortable in her skin. I’d wear a pretty silk floral number that can easily go from formal photo-op to after-after party dance-off.

In this tough economic time, what accessory should every woman own?

Camilla: A great, roomy day bag. Having a chic carryall really pulls a look together. We love our Monserat De Lucca Artacho.

Rand: For me, a good summer scarf and great pair of shades. They’re an easy way to make regular daytime outfitting look like you put a lot of effort in, when all you actually did was grab your keys and throw on a wrap!

Who are your favorite new designers?

Camilla: Dace and Church & State.

Rand: Cloak & Dagger and Lily & Jae.

Is there an item you both are currently coveting?

Camilla: Our last blue ombre silk/ cashmere Faliero Sarti scarf. It’s so lush!

Rand: I’ve become obsessed with the separates we have in the store right now. The Myne, Lorick and Wren skirts are all on my wardrobe must-haves at the moment.

When is Thistle & Clover next open call?

What do you love most about Brooklyn?

Camilla: The diversity; the laidback attitude; the parks; the small town in a big city vibe.

Rand: The lavender lemonade from Picnic!
