New York City — American luxury menswear house Robert Talbott celebrated the grand opening of its new store on Madison Avenue in New York City on Sept. 10. The store opening represents a significant milestone for the brand as it celebrates its 75th anniversary and embarks on a new era of strategic growth and creative revival.
Founded in 1950 in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., by Audrey and Robert Talbott as a fine neckwear atelier, the brand has since grown into a full-fledged luxury menswear label known for uncompromising craftsmanship, timeless design and West Coast attitude. In 2016, Robert Talbott expanded its East Coast presence with the opening of its first Madison Avenue boutique. Now, nearly a decade later, the brand returns to Madison Avenue with a new concept that reflects both its heritage and its forward-looking vision.
Designed as an experiential retail store, the new location offers the brand’s complete menswear range, from signature neckwear and tailored apparel to expanded lifestyle offerings. Every detail of the store design reflects the house’s ethos: refined, bold and deeply rooted in the duality of California ease and New York sophistication.
“Rooted in American luxury, the AW25 collection is both characterful and refined — balancing heritage tailoring with modern ease. Inspired by California’s spirit of effortless layering, each piece is designed to move seamlessly through the season,” says Sebastian Dollinger, creative director. “Versatile, sharp and understatedly luxurious, it redefines how the modern man dresses today.”
The Madison Avenue store will serve as both a retail destination and a cultural hub, designed to immerse clients in the world of Robert Talbott through curated collections, tailored experiences and exclusive collaborations. With its 75th anniversary as a backdrop, the opening reinforces the brand’s continued commitment to American menswear and marks an exciting new chapter in its legacy.
“There’s nothing quite like connecting with our clients face to face, it’s where the Robert Talbott story truly comes alive,” says Alex Angelchik, president. “After 75 years of crafting American luxury menswear, this Madison Avenue store gives us the opportunity to personally share our brand with every customer who walks through our doors. I’m excited to see how this immersive approach will deepen the relationships we’ve built over decades and introduce new clients to the Robert Talbott legacy in an entirely new way.”
