Vineyard Vines’ New Store Caters to Commuters & Tourists Alike
Shep & Ian Murray, the brothers and co-creators of preppy juggernaut Vineyard Vines, spent their early years in New York making lengthy commutes from Connecticut. While Ian only commuted for two years during a stints at a PR agency, Shep, on the other hand, knows MetroNorth all too well. "I commuted for six years,” he said. "First to a job on Wall Street, and then I worked at an ad agency on Madison Avenue.” In these six years, he came to know the trials and tribulations of the daily commute, and, more importantly, the people the ride the train. It ranged from well-heeled corporate guys and girls to deep-pocketed tourists exploring Manhattan.
