Upper East Side shopping: Madison Avenue shop by shop

Seven independent boutiques on the Upper East Side carry an address we checked against the shop itself, between 27 August and 2 September 2026. Five of them are on Madison Avenue, between 773 and 1285. The other two are on East 80th and East 81st.

Three sell jewellery, three sell luxury on consignment, and one sells everything. That ratio is the Upper East Side in one line, and it is why the walk is short and the prices are not.

Every address below is on the Upper East Side page of our New York directory, with the day it was last checked.

The two at 84th Street

Michael's, The Consignment Shop for Women, 1125 Madison Avenue at 84th. Consignment since 1954, now run by Tammy Fluhr-Gates, the third generation of her family in the business. Chanel, Hermès, Prada, Louboutin, Bottega Veneta. The contact page gives shopping hours of eleven to six Monday to Saturday and the homepage says Tuesday to Saturday, so ring before a Monday trip.

La Boutique Resale, 1132 Madison Avenue, second and third floors. Open since 1994, seven days a week, eleven to seven most days. The shop's own site notes it stands where Encore traded, the consignment room Florence Barry founded in 1954.

Two consignment rooms seven numbers apart, on opposite sides of a street where the same labels sell new at several times the price.

The jewellers

Fred Leighton, 773 Madison Avenue between 63rd and 64th. Vintage and estate jewels sorted by period, Georgian through to the 1970s: Belperron, Boivin, Cartier, Van Cleef and Arpels, David Webb. The house began as a clothing shop in 1960s Greenwich Village and moved uptown in the 1970s. Its own site publishes no New York hours and pushes an appointment, and it also announces 713 Madison Avenue as opening in spring 2026, so check the number before you walk.

Camilla Dietz Bergeron Ltd., 818 Madison Avenue, fourth floor. Estate jewellery, more than thirty five years in the trade, with Cartier, Van Cleef and Arpels, Harry Winston and Elizabeth Locke on the stock list. It is a fourth floor showroom by appointment, not a shop you walk into. The site gives its hours two different ways, so take the appointment and settle it on the phone.

FD Gallery, 26 East 80th Street. Twentieth century jewels from the big houses, plus vintage accessories, photographs and objects. Eleven to four, Monday to Thursday. That is a sixteen hour week, and it is the tightest window on this list.

Three jewellers inside twenty blocks, and between them they sell every decade from 1714 to last year.

The other two

Designer Revival, 324 East 81st Street. Luxury consignment, open daily eleven to six, and the deepest vintage buy on the street: the shop names Alaïa from the 1980s, Miyake pleats from 1988 to 1995, Tom Ford's Gucci and Saint Laurent years, Hermès under Margiela. Tiffany Keriakos bought the old Designer Resale in 2015 and renamed it.

Blue Tree, 1285 Madison Avenue. Phoebe Cates Kline opened it in autumn 2005 in Carnegie Hill. Women's clothing and fine jewellery, then home, fragrance, tabletop, Astier de Villatte, and a whole department of Lucite boxes. The site publishes no hours.

What to check before you go

Two of the seven need an appointment or a phone call rather than a walk in: Camilla Dietz Bergeron on the fourth floor at 818, and Fred Leighton, which publishes no New York hours at all. Blue Tree publishes none either.

FD Gallery shuts at four and does not open Friday. If you are making one trip, do it on a Tuesday or a Wednesday afternoon, when all seven are either open or reachable.

For the rest of the city, the New York directory lists all 82 shops by neighbourhood. Consignment stores in NYC has the payout splits for the three consignment rooms above.

Where is the best shopping on the Upper East Side?

Madison Avenue holds five of the seven independent shops on our list, between number 773 and number 1285, and the two consignment rooms at 1125 and 1132 sit seven numbers apart on opposite sides of the street. East 80th and East 81st hold the other two, one block apart.

What shops are on Madison Avenue?

On our list: Fred Leighton at 773, Camilla Dietz Bergeron at 818, Michael's at 1125, La Boutique Resale at 1132 and Blue Tree at 1285. Three are jewellers or estate dealers, one is consignment and one is a concept store.

Is there consignment on the Upper East Side?

Three shops on this list sell designer clothing and bags on consignment: Michael's at 1125 Madison, trading since 1954, La Boutique Resale at 1132 Madison, open since 1994, and Designer Revival at 324 East 81st Street. All three take walk in shoppers.

Which Upper East Side shops are open on a Monday?

Michael's contact page says eleven to six Monday to Saturday, Designer Revival is open daily, La Boutique Resale opens at half eleven, and FD Gallery runs Monday to Thursday. That is four of the seven, and the Michael's homepage disagrees with its own contact page about Mondays.

Seven shops, five on one avenue, and every address was standing on 2 September 2026.
