We have a lot of emotional specialties here at Meurice.

Clothing damaged by smoke, fire or water is among the most difficult [...]

We work with a wedding salon on Long Island that extends a discount at Meurice to their customers. In the past, we’ve handed out gift cards, but I decided I wanted to give them something a little more memorable. So, I designed these custom wedding invitations and printed them letterpress-style.

Now that it finally looks like we may enjoy a complete week of temperatures over 70º, you’ve probably started to think about what to do with your heavy comforters, duvets and coverlets. . The bad news: That bedding isn’t going to fit in your miniature closet washer, and the oversized laundromat around the corner probably [...]

I’ve heard of materials that are combustable when machine-dried before, but gowns exploding in the wash is a new one for me! Remember… care labels are required by the FTC, [...]

Yes, it’s that time again. Spring is in the air. The birds are chirping, the trees are blossuming, and it’s finally too warm outside to wear your Uggs any longer. Don’t put those shearling booties away, just yet, though. Chances are this winter they were exposed to some of the worst NYC has to offer [...]
