When we decide what items to add to the C. Madeleine’s online boutique, it is probably the most fun one could have at a job with their clothes on. Liken it to the Vogue fashion closet or, Elle’s editorial, Marie Claire’s intern office. The store becomes the ultimate international bazaar, and each aisle is a runway to seasons past, to the fashion shows of the legends of fashion design, and a treasure hunt for obscure interesting items from obscure interesting designers.

With 10,000 square footage of vintage fashion masterpieces to choose from, it is every girl’s fashionable dream. How lucky are we.

Having recently remodeled the online boutique with a virtual facelift and fabulous makeover, the most fun has been deciding what to stock the store with, how to fill up our new space. We first added modern vintage pieces from more contemporary designers, which has been popular. Next, we took a spin around the store and the cases and cases of glitz and glam and unusual accessories left our heads spinning, so we added vintage jewelry and unique belts, bags, and baubles that we thought you would enjoy. Now notice there are shoes. Limited edition, one of kind shoes that will never be released again. Signed by their respective designer in some instances.

What comes next? We add new things every week and think about what the fashion lover and vintage cravers are looking for, what you would be delighted to see. We ask ourselves, what pieces from C. Madeleine’s collection are dying to be shared with the world? And those are the items we shoot and boot up for your perusal. We like to keep it varietal, a mix of high and low, old and newish, glam and understated, designer and unlabeled. Please enjoy.

If you have any suggestions, eras, designers you would like to see added to or more of on the site, please contact us. We aim to please.

Take a Tour of C. Madeleine’s Vintage Fashion Store

Thursday, world famous photographer, Bruce Weber did a photo shoot in C. Madeleine’s, for V Magazine.

The fashion photographer (and occasional filmmaker) went through the 10,000 square foot store taking photos of the models. The models were dressed in everything from a kitschy, denim, superman jacket from the 80s to authentic polo riding gear. Bruce Weber is most famous for his ad campaigns with Calvin Klein, Pirelli, Abercrombie & Fitch, Revlon, Gianni Versace, and Ralph Lauren, as well as his work for Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, Elle, Life, Interview, and Rolling Stone magazines.
