For some time, Nolita boutique Inven.tory — which carries current, hard-to-find collections at wholesale prices — was high on our list of reasons to live in New York City. Well, score another one for non-New Yorkers now that its stock — from Smooth Co. to 3:33 — is accessible to anyone with a Web connection. Still, at least for the moment, Inve.tory’s vintage pieces remain off limits to digital patrons.
