The Hunt was formed from the passion project of pro skateboarders Jake Lamagno and Dylan Rieder (RIP) along with Steven Ditchkus in 2012. The store revolves around their admiration for the old, the unusual and the beautiful and becomes a place where they have been able to bring their creative impulses together to establish an exceptional store in the grit of the Lower East Side.

The iconic lifestyle brand acts as an antique emporium, gallery, jewellery maker and accessories creator reflecting the distinct style and individual interests of each of the founders. With a focus on the peculiar side of Americana, they source their oddities and antiques from every corner of the country. Their jewellery designs are also worth checking out, including their signature ‘All Seeing Eye’ logo rings and pendants.

The Hunt’s owners select key pieces on the simple basis that if it uniquely captures their attention and imagination then it has a rightful place in the store. If you are in the neighbourhood drop by to be amazed by some of their enigmatic and exclusive rarities. The Hunt is very much an actualisation of an alternative America and the New York outsider community in which it resides.
