Madewell

A spin-off of J. Crew, Madewell's first Tennessee store opened in April 2013 in the Shops of Saddle Creek in Germantown. The clothing line debuted with jeans in the late 1930s, and its claim to fame mirrors its name - as in, clothes are carefully constructed to last. The shop sells only women's clothing, shoes, and accessories, with the emphasis on classic styling with just a dash of the modern. There's plenty of denim, and mostly casual clothing, but the store's selection of dresses can generally be dressed up for an evening out, and even for work.
