Veena at SJP Collection

SJP by

Sarah Jessica Parker

SJP Collection, the luxury shoe brand founded by actress Sarah Jessica Parker offers a range of stylish and sophisticated footwear, reflecting Parker’s own fashion sensibilities. The collection includes pumps, sandals, boots, and flats, often characterized by bold colors, unique designs, and attention to detail. The SJP Collection by Sarah Jessica Parker also has a standalone boutique located at 31 W 54th St. The west village showroom is in the corner of Perry and Bedford St right across from where Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment exterior shots were filmed at 66 Perry Street. The actual interior scenes were filmed on a set, not in the real apartment.
