Harlem Haberdashery  was founded by husband and wife duo Guy and Shayvon Wood. Listed as one of the best places to shop in Harlem, the fashion company is a family-run business and  “retail expression” of 5001 FLAVORS, a nearly 2,000 square foot boutique in the former home of the late civil rights leader Malcolm X. The boutique carries emerging designers/brands and the space aesthetically pays homage to Harlem’s rich history and luminaries.
