ME+EM continues its US expansion with the exciting opening of two new stores in New York, located on Mercer Street and Newtown Lane in East Hampton. ME+EM is a modern luxury women’s clothing brand designed for busy women globally. Each month, the brand releases capsules of ready-to-wear clothing, accessories, and footwear, all crafted in London and sold directly to consumers both in-store and online at meandem.com. The brand’s philosophy is that women shouldn’t have to choose between quality and cost, or between contemporary trends and functionality. With intelligent design details, ME+EM ensures that their customers look and feel their best in every piece they wear.
The intimate 600-square-foot boutique on 7 Newtown Lane in East Hampton, showcases timeless design, luxury fabrics, and expert construction. The store is softly lit with Pinch Anders lighting, creating a welcoming ambiance. The central focus of ME+EM’s East Hampton location is a bespoke English oak table, perfect for hosting intimate soirées over the summer months. Additionally, the store is pet-friendly, featuring ceramic water dishes by Tina Vaia and dog beds from London-based dog outfitters Mungo and Maud, ensuring that four-legged friends are also catered for.
Founded by former advertising executive Clare Hornby in 2009, ME+EM is renowned for its signature pants, sharp tailoring, and silk dresses. ME+EM collections are designed to be layered, creating outfits that are flattering, functional, and have enduring appeal. Since launching its US e-commerce site in 2019, ME+EM has built a strong local community. The three New York store locations provide customers the opportunity to explore the brand in person and discover monthly edits featuring fresh textures, colors, and silhouettes.
My personal favorites of the collection include a linen-blend three-piece short suit, mixed media dresses, and barrel-leg denim, alongside the label’s first-ever swimwear collection. ME+EM has garnered a loyal following, including members of the British Royal Family and celebrities like Margot Robbie, Cara Delevigne, Emily Blunt, Olivia Colman, and Helen Mirren. With stores in London, Edinburgh, and New York, ME+EM continues to expand its presence and bring its unique blend of style and quality to women around the world.
