Manhattan Fruitier
Established in 1987, Manhattan Fruitier recreates a style of gift and service that are an elegant reminder of New York’s 19th century carriage trade, when luxury gifts were shopped for and delivered by horse-drawn carriage. Composed like Dutch still life paintings, their fruit baskets and food hampers make a welcome gift no matter the occasion. Their aesthetic is classical and pre-industrial. The fruit is presented elegantly, but with no artifice.
They strive for packaging that reflects the period 1890 to 1910, which means they are expert hand packagers. They are a gift service that reaches back to a time when many things were done with greater care and beauty. Manhattan Fruitier’s fresh fruit gifts combine both familiar fruits and less familiar fruits. Manhattan Fruitier include their own Guide to Exotic Fruits, with illustrations and instructions on how to eat thirty exotic fruits.
