Tucked away at 260 1st Street in Hoboken for the past six years, Daisy’s Wearable Art has been a hub for creativity, individuality, and community since its opening in 2018. The space, curated by local artist and longtime Hoboken resident Daisy Arroyo, has build a reputation for showcasing artisan-made clothing, jewelry, and hand-painted paper goods. Back in October, Daisy shared exclusively with The Hoboken Girl that she is planning to close the shop this winter for good — and now, the shop is officially closed in Hoboken.
Originally born in Puerto Rico and raised in Hoboken from the age of six, Daisy’s creative legacy mirror’s Hoboken’s past — creative, resilient, and rooted in community. An active supporter of the arts and local makers, she has become a familiar face on 1st Street, curating a space that highlights many creatives contributions to textiles and art mediums. At the space, she has curated more than 50 artists throughout her tenure there.

Recently, word had spread that Daisy’s would be closing its doors — as a for rent sign currently hangs at the front of the shop. We stopped in to chat with Daisy back in October, who shared that this was, in fact, the case, but she did not have an “end date” yet, despite it most likely being winter 2026. Per Patch Hoboken, the shop officially closed on Friday, November 14th. This marks the end of a six-year run for the boutique.
She previously told HG “I’m hoping to keep the doors open throughout December, perhaps with some local artisan pop-ups — so stay tuned. But we’ll see what ends up happening.”
Looking ahead, Daisy shared with us that she may be moving out of town with her husband, leaving Hoboken for the first time, at 62, since she was six. “It’s expensive to live in the area, and we’re excited for our next adventures,” she explained. She hasn’t made a formal announcement, but shared her plans with The Hoboken Girl for publication.
The shop is had a sale up to 70% off as Daisy offloads all of her collectibles, creations, and treasures.
As Daisy closes this meaningful chapter, she hopes that Daisy’s Wearable Art stands as a reminder of Hoboken’s creative heartbeat: one shaped by makers, dreamers, and small business owners who give the city its character.
