Manhattan, NY According to Retail by MONA, menswear brand Cremieux has signed a long-term lease at Vornado Realty Trust’s 650 Madison Ave. The 1,200 s/f space, located on East 60th St. between Madison and Fifth Aves., will serve as Cremieux’s New York City flagship store.

Cremieux recently opened their new U.S. headquarters in New York City at 445 Park Ave. which led to their decision to secure retail space at 650 Madison Ave.

“Thanks to Retail by MONA, we were able to successfully secure our new home at 650 Madison Ave. that will serve as our new New York City flagship store, but more importantly, a place for men to purchase one-of-a-kind pieces that exude true elegance, authenticity, allure and style” said Cremieux’s CEO, Stephane Cremieux. “With Cremieux’s passion for high-quality fabrics and French origins, I want to bring true French hospitality to the New York menswear world.”

“I am thrilled that Retail by MONA’s luxury retail team assisted luxury menswear brand, Cremieux on finding their premier retail space in the Madison Avenue trading area,” said Brandon Singer, founder/chief executive, Retail by MONA. “Madison Ave. has experienced a significant retail revival since 2021, with availability having dropped to a record low of 5.9% in early 2024, attracting both established luxury and emerging brands.”
