Upscale NYC lingerie store beloved by Jackie O, Joan Crawford and Madonna is forced to close because of soaring rents

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 29, 2024
An upscale New York City lingerie store which once served A-listers is closing because of the high costs of rent. The Upper East Side's iconic store called Peress has been open for more than 90 years. During its reign, the luxury store was beloved by the likes of Jackie O, Joan Crawford, Barbara Walters, Madonna, Diana Vreeland, Brooke Astor, and Gloria Vanderbilt. The beloved Madison Avenue shop carried European lingerie, pajamas, nightgowns, socks and slippers. Prior to its August 15 closing date, the boutique advertised a sale at 50 per cent off, and its door sign read: 'Only one customer at a time and 10 minutes only.'
