Restoration cleaning ( that is, cleaning clothes up after damage from fires, smoke or water ) is one of our greatest challenges here at Meurice. Of course, every great challenge is also an opportunity to show off. I just saw some of the first pieces to be restored from our last big restoration job and [...]
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. I’m so pleased with how [...]
We see it all too often: handbags and purses that are filthy from being left on dirty floors. Not only do icky floors mar your fancy bag, but its also unhygienic to handle anything straight off the same surface your shoes trod. Enter the Purse Valet. These are really handy little portable hooks that easily slip into [...]
. Just received another thank you note in our Bronx office the other day. The note was for our office manager, Lorraine, and came from a client that had left a piece of jewelry on her cleaning. . . The text reads: ” Dear Lorraine, Thank you so much for returning my pin! Your company, [...]
. Recently, our office manager, Lorraine, came into Meurice with a badly faded and yellowed christening gown that belonged to a friend. The gown was a treasured family heirloom last worn about 30 years ago, but needed for an upcoming baptism. When removed from storage, the gown appeared slightly the worse for wear. . Before: [...]
Some of you may recall the iPad contest we sponsored just over a month ago. We entered all of our existing customers who referred a new client, and the new customers who had been referred by a friend in the contest. Then, we drew numbers in the office and our winner turned out to be [...]
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 [...]

. . Just saw this bizarre wedding gown care label. Another member of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists forwarded it to me this morning. 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, [...]
Pregnancy can be a serious challenge to your figure and – as anyone who’s shopped for maternity jeans recently knows – your checkbook. . Fortunately, Meurice has the simple solution.

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 [...]
