Andy Spade challenged conventional retailing when his firm, Partners & Spade, produced a boutique for J. Crew in an old liquor store. He and partner Anthony Sperduti walked AdweekMedia through their new retail experiment at Partners & Spade in New York’s Noho section, where collections of staplers and scorpion paperweights make more for a gallery/curiosity shop than a store.
