If you’re running a business in New York, you already know how important it is to grab attention fast. A-frame sidewalk signs also called sandwich boards are an easy, low-key way to pull in foot traffic, promote daily specials, or guide people to your door. They’re lightweight, foldable, and can be fully customized to match your brand. Whether you’re in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or anywhere in the city, custom A-frame signs are a practical option that works on almost any sidewalk.
Timeless Retail Signage Designed to Make a Lasting First Impression
In a city where visuals make the first impression, Signs and Mirrors offers a standout solution for brands who value design, detail, and presence. Based in New York City, this design-forward signage studio specializes in handcrafted metal and mirror-finish signs, designed to stop passersby and elevate storefront aesthetics.
From small independent businesses to fashion boutiques and luxury jewelers, Signs and Mirrors creates signage that doesn’t just inform, it speaks your brand language in clean lines, bold reflections, and durable materials.
Why Modern Retail Signage Still Matters
Even in an age where digital dominates, the physical storefront still does the heavy lifting. It’s the first moment of contact, a reflection of the care and quality behind what’s inside. A well-made sign doesn’t just tell people where you are – it shows them who you are. Signs and Mirrors was built on that idea.
Signature Materials. Designed for the Street
Every A-frame sidewalk sign in the Signs and Mirrors collection is built for real-world use – from weather and sunlight to foot traffic and urban context. The studio offers a focused set of material-driven formats tailored for visual clarity and physical durability.
Mirrored Metal A-Frame Signs
Polished aluminum A-frames that reflect the street environment. These mirror-finish signs draw light and attention, making them ideal for fashion boutiques, design-forward storefronts, and high-visibility spaces.
Stainless Steel A-Frame Signs
Brushed stainless steel boards known for their weight, stability, and minimal surface. Built to last and well-suited for cafés, studios, and architecture-focused businesses.
Acrylic A-Frame Signs
Frameless signs made from clear or frosted acrylic. These lightweight panels offer a clean, contemporary feel – perfect for bright retail interiors or minimalist exteriors. Graphics are applied with vinyl or printed directly.
Custom A-Frame Sign Options
For spaces that require something outside the standard formats, fully custom A-frame sidewalk signs can be created using specific materials, non-standard dimensions, or unique layout requirements. These builds are designed around how the piece will be used and how it needs to communicate on the street. From bold branding elements to understated architectural integration, each custom piece prioritizes clarity and context.

Built by Hand, Designed with Purpose
Each sign from Signs and Mirrors is made in New York City by a small, hands-on team. No outsourcing, no shortcuts – just careful work done in small batches. Every sign is shaped, polished, and assembled in-house.
From the first cut to the final finish, there’s attention in every step. Whether it’s mirror-polished aluminum or brushed steel, materials are treated with care so the final product feels intentional – not just functional.
Streamlined Process, Tailored Results
Ordering is straightforward. There are no portals, no endless dropdowns – just a real conversation with the people who build the product. Most clients say the process feels more like working with a creative partner than placing an order.
Whether you’re picking from existing models or building something custom, the team helps figure out finishes, scale, and layout based on your space. Most projects are completed in just a few weeks and arrive fully assembled, ready to use.
