As mentioned in the January 7th "J.Crew Email: Our Fifth Avenue store is getting a ..." post, J.Crew's Fifth Avenue store (in New York City) was closed to get a complete makeover."Thanks!" to AW, who shared the following email with us which announces that the first (of three) floors is now open for business. She also mentions:
The 5th Ave was my "regular" store as it was the one closest to my work. It used to have two floors, the first being for women (with a shoe section) and the second for men, so I can only surmise from the wording in the e-mail that now there will be TWO floors for women, with the third being for men & CrewCuts. Will be looking forward to the renovation in April!Another "thanks!" to Roxy (in this post) who shared the following tidbits with us:
I went to the re-opened 5th Ave store (NYC). It's beautiful!!! They whitewashed the floors so they are similar to the Collection store, which I'm ambivalent about. But I love the new product showcase racks on the sides of the floor. They have beautiful new chandeliers and the artwork clusters are fantastic (though a little Anthrolike to me). The floor is much easier to walk around too. All in all, a huge jump from the store previously. It was always a nice place to shop but now it feels luxurious. Bravo, J.Crew. :)How exciting! I look forward to visiting the store the next time I am in New York City.
Have you stopped by the Fifth Avenue J.Crew store? If so, what are your thoughts on the renovations?
