Ladies, this is your last chance. And Jane Mayle really means it this time. Though the beloved Mayle shop in Nolita will indeed be closing on February 28—as was previously announced to much keening and weeping—Mayle is coming back for an all-too-brief encore on March 6. The pop-up Mayle shop will feature a selection of classic pieces (some styles date back as far as Spring 2002) redone in fabric from the designer’s archives. “So many of my customers have been waxing nostalgic
and telling me how much they wish certain items could make a reappearance,” explains Mayle of her decision to launch the pop-up, which will stay open through the end of March. “This is my way of trying to satisfy that demand, as well as finding a worthy and very ‘green’ home for fabrics I’ve been holding onto.” Pieces included in the limited-edition collection destined for the pop-up include the label’s classic Avignon dress, a ’40s-style tea dress, and several styles from Fall ‘03, which Mayle herself describes as a favorite collection. “This is also kind of a selfish endeavor,” she notes. “Now I have the chance to update a few silhouettes, or finesse a detail I always wanted to fix, or see what a blouse or a dress would look like in a different material. And it’s the last chance for me to shore up
my Mayle wardrobe, too.”
