You can trust that whatever Amanda Brooks<\/a> touches turns into a success story. It\u2019s more than just the fact that Brooks was formerly Barney\u2019s New York Fashion Director, a highly coveted position that comes with great influence. It\u2019s also not just her go-getter attitude, which scored her an internship with Patrick Demarchelier and a stint at the Gagosian Gallery early in her career. No, Brooks\u2019s success comes from the fact that she is a true tastemaker. A regular fashion show and red carpet attendee, she naturally inspires people with her style, and moves them with her knowledge of what it means to live well. So when Brooks decided to open Cutter Brooks,<\/a> a lifestyle boutique in the Cotswolds last summer, her fans eagerly waited to see what New York\u2019s it girl would stock inside her shop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cEnglish style, through an American, sourced in Europe\u201d is how Brooks describes Cutter Brooks. Located in Stow-on-the-Wold, a small market town in Gloucestershire filled with antique shops, boutiques and cafe\u0301s, Cutter Brooks is housed in a low-beamed, 16th century stone building on Stow\u2019s main square. Inside, you\u2019ll find tastefully curated items ranging from 19th century American quilts and John Derian home de\u0301cor, to vintage Herme\u0300s scrunchies and Le Monde Beryl Venetian-inspired slippers. There are framed art, desk accessories, woven handbags, sleepwear, cushions, bakeware, porcelain and ceramics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shop aspires to be a chic version of a \u2018country store\u2019 with carefully chosen things for your closet, your home, and your hostess,\u201d the New York socialite wrote on her website.<\/p>\n

In many ways, Cutter Brooks is a reflection of Brooks\u2019s new chapter. After 15 years of working in the fast-paced world of fashion, Brooks and her husband Christopher decided it was time to take a short break; a year at his Oxfordshire residence seemed like the perfect recovery from all the nonstop fashion shows, parties and travels that came with her job. But then one year turned into six, and before she knew it, the Cotswolds had become her new home. When the octogenarian running the organic farm shop in Stow\u2019s square decided to put half the space on the market, Brooks seized the opportunity to turn it into her next project. And so, Cutter Brooks was born.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first I\u2019m really working full-time in years, and it feels great,\u201d Brooks said in her Architectural Digest interview, adding, \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to run a clothing shop.\u201d It seems Manhattan\u2019s fashion guru has really found her calling.<\/p>\n

To no one\u2019s surprise, the shop has been thriving. In recent years, the Cotswolds has witnessed a renaissance that has led locals to nickname the region \u201cPoshtershire.\u201d The glamorous revival of a once-quiet province can be attributed to the opening of Michelin-starred restaurants like The Wild Rabbit, luxury boutique accommodations, Lady Bamford\u2019s Daylesford farm shop & cafe\u0301, as well as the exclusive Soho Farmhouse private club and hotel. With more Londoners and tourists making the 80-some-mile daytrip up to catch a glimpse of the English countryside, local businesses have grown.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll these amazing stylish women keep coming in, including a Loewe-wearing librarian, and I keep thinking, where did you come from?\u201d Brooks mused.<\/p>\n

We think we know the answer. From Brooks\u2019s over-99K Instagram followers, word of mouth and press; every lifestyle magazine from Vogue<\/em> to Architectural Digest<\/em> covered Cutter Brooks\u2019 opening. But what keeps customers returning to the store? Without a doubt, it\u2019s the trendsetter herself. While many can\u2019t enjoy Brooks\u2019s slow country lifestyle full-time, they can, at the very least, take a piece of the Cotswolds back with them from Cutter Brooks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

THE SHOP ASPIRES TO BE A
\nCHIC VERSION OF A \u201cCOUNTRY STORE\u201d WITH CAREFULLY CHOSEN THINGS FOR YOUR CLOSET, YOUR HOME, AND YOUR HOSTESS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
