Where to Shop Maison Close X Scandale in New York City
Maison Close begins a new chapter with Scandale. For nearly two decades, Sugar Cookies has proudly brought the most beautiful European lingerie to New York City. Since opening our doors in 2008, Maison Close has been a cornerstone of our boutique, admired for its unmistakable French elegance, refined sensuality, and artistic approach to design. Our long relationship with the brand has allowed us to curate a thoughtful and ever evolving selection of its most captivating collections.
In 2026, Maison Close opened an important new chapter by acquiring Scandale, the iconic French lingerie house founded in 1932 and widely recognized as a pioneer of modern corsetry and intimate apparel. Scandale helped transform how women wore lingerie by introducing softer, lighter, and more liberated designs at a time when undergarments were still highly restrictive. Now, under Maison Close’s contemporary vision, this historic heritage is being reimagined for today’s wearer.
This union brings together Maison Close’s modern sensuality with Scandale’s legacy of innovation and craftsmanship, creating collections that balance retro inspiration with bold, modern expression. The first of these interpretations appears in the Rococo inspired designs, a tribute to classic corsetry infused with Maison Close’s signature confidence and provocation.
Maison Close has earned a devoted international following for its modern interpretation of French seduction. Delicate lace, sheer tulles, rich textures, and silhouettes that celebrate both strength and softness define the brand. At Sugar Cookies, each piece is chosen with care so our clients can explore a selection that feels expressive and elevated while remaining comfortable and wearable.
New Yorkers searching for Maison Close often encounter confusion with another establishment of the same name. Maison Close the restaurant, located in Manhattan, is entirely unrelated to the lingerie brand. Despite sharing a name, the two have no connection. Maison Close lingerie remains an independent French maison rooted in intimacy, artistry, and fashion design.
There was once a dedicated Maison Close boutique in SoHo, but that location has since closed. Today, Sugar Cookies is the only place in New York City where you can shop Maison Close in person. Whether you are discovering the brand for the first time or returning for your next favorite piece, our team offers warm guidance, personal fittings, and a shopping experience that honors the beauty and sophistication of the Maison Close universe.
You can visit us in store or explore our Maison Close collection online and discover why this French favorite has remained part of the Sugar Cookies story from the very beginning.
