Marmalade's spot-on 70's and 80's vintage collections, which owner HannahKurland supplements weekly with far a-field forages of unknown address, and the particular way she puts them all together , provide her customers with the kind of transformative experience most retailers will never achieve. It is such that Marmalade has long reigned on Ludlow as the resource and reference for mega-stylists Lori Goldstein, Patti Wilson, celeb's like Natalie Portman and Chloe Sevigny, and her professed, 'sort of' favorite, Bjork. And then, of course, there are the life-blood of the operation - all the flawlessly cool and chic of NY, Japan, the UK, and wherever else, who venture there specifically to shop her boutique.
I like Marmalade, got a great 1980s top and skirt here. But I have to say the prices are better at my new favorite shop: Pilgrim on Orchard Street near Grand. I got an amazing claude Montana skirt (very 1940s) and a Valentino sweater both in mint condition for $160 combined. I love both stores, but since they are near each other I go to both.

Marmalade is one of my favorite shops in the city. Shopping there is like rooting thru a well-dressed friend's closet. Every piece has something to it - special details that have made girls on the street stop to ask me where things like my favorite ankle boots or my painted leather bag came from. The owner and her staff are friendly and knowledgeable and genuinely interested in helping you look good.

I love the seventies and eighties clothes. Marmalade is a not a food store. It's a great vintage clothes that carries mostly outfits from the seventies and eighties. They carry everything from cocktail dresses to vintage shoes to outfits for men. The selection is choice, the staff is friendly and the prices are not too expensive.

Marmalade always seems to have their finger on the pulse of the moment in fashion. It offers a definite point of view, and offers vintage in all price ranges. On a given day you can find a rare Zandra Rhodes top, a Mad Max-era suede tunic, and an affordable pair of 80's Boots. The owner Hannah Kurland also features her own progressive line of vintage-inspired wearables. Like most everything at Marmalade, it's girly with an edge. Marmalade is cool without being pretentious. You'll feel like you are in on a secret!
Pros: great location, great vibe
Cons: can get crowded on weekends
