About
The Ripped Bodice sits in Park Slope, Brooklyn, as the first romance-only bookstore run by sisters Leah and Bea Koch. It opened in 2016 after a Kickstarter campaign, and the shop is proudly woman-led and queer-owned. The decor is whimsical and charming, matching the steamy selection inside.
You'll find a wide range of romance novels plus gifts from independent women-owned brands. The crowd leans diverse, from 20-somethings to 40-somethings, mixed gay and straight. It's a lively, romantic spot with an upscale feel. If you're browsing nearby, Macy's is worth a stop too.
