175 5th Avenue NY | Origins
Located at the street level of the historic Flatiron Building, Origins is an American cosmetics retailer that offers natural plant and organic-based skincare, makeup, and bath & body products. The firm was launched in 1990 by Leonard Lauder (son of renown cosmetics mogul Estee Lauder) to appeal to the growing legions of “eco-conscious” consumers.
Flatiron Building, a functioning 22-floor office building whose name was derived by the clothes iron shape of its roof, was built in 1902 – which at the time was one of the tallest buildings in New York.
