YONKERS, NY — Westchester will soon be home to the only outpost of a company whose online business model has already been making big waves in the fashion industry.

Les Coeurs Sauvages, an ethically-driven marketplace that champions purposeful, "intentional consumption," announced its first permanent brick-and-mortar location has opened at Ridge Hill in Yonkers. Located across from H&M, Les Coeurs Sauvages offers a "carefully edited assortment of premium fashion, beauty, bridal and home items that allows shoppers to curate the look that reflects the unique world they are living in today."

The company says that shoppers will find versatile, high-quality styles that stand the test of time. With a leaning toward "classics" that beg to be reinvented and made one’s own, Les Coeurs Sauvages says that it blurs the boundaries of fashion and features unique, women-led brands as well as companies that support ethical and sustainable production practices, including:

"Shortly after the pandemic started, I moved to Yonkers to enjoy more access to space and nature—and the community welcomed me with open arms," founder Michelle Hadley said. "I’m excited to return and open a store that champions small, female-owned brands and unique, sustainable products, all while giving back to this evolving community."
