I wrote a couple of weeks ago in the post, J.Crew Collection Store Now Open in NYC, that the J.Crew Collection store was open in New York City. Well, it turns out that it was open briefly and then closed.

But now, it has officially opened! Below is  little blurb about the store opening from Style.com.  Thanks to Raina from If the Lamp Shade Fits for sending it to me!

As part of its ongoing upward spiral, J.Crew today quietly opened a Women’s Collection store at Madison Avenue and 79th Street. And despite the gloomy economic forecast, shoppers were piling in to the uptown-meets-downtown space, conceived of down to the last Serge Mouille light fixture by creative director Jenna Lyons Mazeau. The draw? All the usual J.Crew goodies—their staple tees, jeans, and cashmeres—as well as the higher-end Collection pieces and select vintage and one-of-a-kind items, like hand-painted blouses and $10 18-karat gold vermeil bobby pins. As other retailers may want to note, while consumers may be balking at four-figure frocks, the allure of reasonably priced, tastefully merchandized classics is apparently evergreen.

Here are the details of the store.

1035 Madison Avenue at 79th Street
New York, NY 10075
212-249-3869

I absolutely adore the J.Crew Collection and must plan a visit to New York ASAP to see this store!

If you live in Manhattan and will be visiting this store, please let me know! I would love to hear your thoughts and impression of the store.

    I heard it wasn’t that great from someone who visited it…It is very tiny and they only had one unique coat that you can’t find online and there are actually more collection pieces online than in the store!
