Sandra Choi, Creative Director of Jimmy Choo, expressed her admiration for the city’s unique energy:
“Dynamic, modern, vibrant, and free — New York is a kindred spirit, a home from home for the brand connecting with our values and ethos, our attitudes to 21st-century glamour. I’m thrilled that we can reinvent our footprint in this city, linking our creativity with New York’s unmistakable personality.”
New York has played a vital role in shaping Jimmy Choo’s pop culture identity. Since the opening of its first New York store in 1998, the brand has become synonymous with the city, famously referenced in hit television series like Sex and the City. Choi credits the brand’s appearance in the show as a pivotal moment that cemented Jimmy Choo as a household name.
Designed in collaboration with interior designer Nebihe Cihan, the Madison Avenue flagship introduces a fresh retail aesthetic while reflecting the dynamic character of its locale. The boutique is thoughtfully curated with mid-century vintage furniture and collectible contemporary lighting, offering a sophisticated and artistic ambiance. Pieces by Luigi Pellegrin, Antonio Citterio, and Móveis Cimo pay homage to design heritage, while works by modern creators like Tommaso Bertocco and Kueng Caputo add contemporary flair.

The boutique is arranged as a trio of salons, including an exclusive VIP room, each with a distinct atmosphere. Guests are enveloped in a luxurious, jewel-box-inspired setting, with soft, sensuous interiors featuring textured walls and curved shelving that echo feminine elegance. High-quality materials like walnut, travertine marble, velvet, hand-worked glass, and ceramic underscore Jimmy Choo’s dedication to craftsmanship. The signature brand color, Winter Bloom—a deep purple from the brand’s original packaging—adds a striking touch throughout the boutique.
Jimmy Choo Madison Avenue opens with its Winter 2024 collection, which includes an array of women’s and men’s shoes and accessories, as well as eyewear, small leather goods, fragrances, and a curated selection from the Wedding Collection. From foundational wardrobe pieces to bold seasonal designs, the collection caters to modern style enthusiasts.
A highlight of the boutique is Jimmy Choo’s exclusive Made-to-Order service, offering clients the opportunity to design their dream shoes or handbags. With options to customize colors, materials, and finishes, along with personal touches, each piece becomes a unique reflection of its owner’s individuality.

We wanted the design to feel authentic to the city, to the dynamic energy of the city underscoring the craft that’s central to Jimmy Choo.
