Haven Well Within Opens First-Ever Store at Roosevelt Field, Bringing Quiet Luxury to Long Island

Roosevelt Field lands the national brand’s debut boutique—and it’s a win for Garden City retail

If you’ve been waiting for a fresh dose of “quiet luxury” on the Island, here it is: Haven Well Within, Talbots’ wellness-meets-lifestyle label, just opened its first brick-and-mortar store at Roosevelt Field in Garden City. The 1,774-square-foot boutique debuted Saturday, Oct. 25, adding another upscale name to one of the region’s most resilient shopping hubs.

Why this opening matters (beyond a cozy sweater)

Roosevelt Field has been steadily curating a premium tenant mix, drawing “only-in-market” brands that keep foot traffic high—great news for nearby dining corridors on Old Country Road and Franklin Avenue and a confidence boost for retail landlords across Garden City, Westbury, and Carle Place. For homebuyers and sellers, a stronger regional retail anchor generally correlates with higher neighborhood desirability—especially for buyers who value top-tier shopping and dining within a 10-minute drive. Simon’s flagship Long Island center continues to be positioned as an A-level mall, a status that helps underpin stable traffic for surrounding businesses.

What you’ll find inside

Expect loungewear, sleepwear, intimates, beauty, and home goods in elevated natural fabrics—think cashmere, silk, linen, and cotton, plus other environmentally preferred fibers. The edit leans “spa-at-home” with a neutral palette and plush textures. Price points sit in the premium lane (cashmere lounge sets in the mid-$200s, silk sleep separates around $98+), aligning with Roosevelt Field’s luxury wing.

The look: Japandi calm

The store design channels Scandinavian + Japanese minimalism—natural cherry wood, bronze/brass accents, white walls with muted green tones, and window vignettes styled with stone, marble, wood, and dried florals. It fits right in with the mall’s modern aesthetic upgrades and “wellness” retail trend.

Brand background (and a little Oprah sparkle)

Talbots launched Haven Well Within in late 2020 as a wellness-driven extension; since then, the label has lived online and inside concept shops before choosing Long Island for its first standalone. The brand also scored a coveted nod on Oprah’s Favorite Things 2023 list—fuel for holiday gifting traffic.

Why Garden City made sense

• Regional reach: With the LIRR and Meadowbrook/Northern State access, Roosevelt Field captures Nassau + Western Suffolk shoppers who might otherwise head to the city.

• Tenant synergy: Proximity to luxury anchors and lifestyle brands means cross-shopping—good for basket size and dwell time.

• Holiday timing: A late-October opening is tailor-made to catch Q4 traffic and gift-driven purchases—especially with Oprah-approved cashmere in the mix.
