Wandering through The Shops at 1345, one of the Coachella Valley’s most beloved retail destinations, I recently discovered a new tenant instantly raising the style bar. Tucked into the back space now stands NEAL SPERLING, a luxury design destination bringing effortless chic to Palm Springs.
Inside, you’ll find a complete showcase of Neal Sperling’s menswear collection, including exclusive prints and styles created specifically for the Palm Springs location. The racks are lined with beautiful basics: ultra-soft T-shirts in a spectrum of colors, crisp button-downs, unstructured blazers in fine fabrications, and thoughtfully designed shorts and swimwear perfect for desert living. All fabrics are sourced from Japan, and every piece is meticulously produced in New York City, merging the craftsmanship and edge of New York fashion with the easygoing vibe of the desert.
Behind the counter, helping a customer with the kind of warmth rare in retail, stood Neal Sperling himself. Born in New York City and raised upstate, Neal honed his craft at the Fashion Institute of Technology before working with Geoffrey Beene and Hérve Léger in Paris. He launched his first womenswear collection from a hotel room in Paris—a deceptively simple yet precise eleven-piece collection that caught the attention of retailers like Barneys, Maxfield, Colette in Paris, and Beams in Tokyo. Over the years, Neal expanded his brand to full men’s and women’s collections, stocked in over 50 prestigious points of sale across the U.S., Asia, and Europe, and featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Town & Country.
Recently, Neal moved to Palm Springs with his partner for a change of pace and to care for his father, but the designer in him hasn’t slowed down. This year marks the return of his menswear collection for Spring/Summer 2025, continuing his pursuit of distinctive, ageless clothing that rewards its wearer with a wardrobe of world-class garments designed to be worn and loved for years, not just a season.
To enhance the shopping experience, the Neal Sperling boutique also offers accessories and footwear from brands that perfectly complement the collection. You’ll find footwear from Malibu Sandals, Shoes Like Pottery, and Res Ipsa; bags from Immodest Cotton; handmade leather goods from Thomas Finney Studio; and home fragrances from Papier d’Arménie Paris. The space also showcases artwork by international artists, transforming the shop into a complete experiential destination and a thoughtful, inspiring place to discover unique products.
The arrival of Neal Sperling at The Shops at 1345 is a gift to local men seeking high-quality, laid-back luxury with a designer’s touch. Stop in, feel the fabrics, explore the curated accessories, and meet Neal himself. Your summer wardrobe—and your year-round Palm Springs lifestyle—will thank you.
