Marilyn Monroe once said, “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.”

That’s the idea behind 10022-Shoe Greenwich, located at 20 East Elm Street, which opened its regal glass doors last Friday.

Saks Fifth Avenue, one of the world’s pre-eminent specialty retailers, selected Greenwich as its premiere destination to unveil its first standalone boutique, dedicated exclusively to shoes.

The specialty store is designed to serve Greenwich women as a one-stop shop destination for all their footwear needs (and desires) offering customers a vast assortment of comfy yet chic flats and sneakers for day, and sparkling, eye-catching stilettos and boots for night.

The shop features no less than 1,500 curated styles, featuring sought-after designer collections such as Aquazzura, Balenciaga, Celine, CHANEL, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Gucci, and Christian Dior as well as emerging brands such as Paul Andrew, Tabitha Simmons, and Nicholas Kirkwood.

“Saks has been a part of the Greenwich community for 20 years, and the market is integral to our evolution and growth strategy,” said Marc Metrick, president, Saks Fifth Avenue.

“As we open 10022-SHOE, we further cement Saks as the destination for style and luxury in Greenwich.”

The 10022-Shoe Greenwich is the first of several planned specialty stores—all part of the new ecosystem: The Saks Shops Greenwich, which will also consist of “The Vault” for fine jewelry and “The Collective” for modern designer fashion wear slated for debut next year, as well as a renovation of the main store on Greenwich Avenue.

Designed in collaboration with a New York design firm, the store has a feminine design scheme, featuring a delicate color palette, intricate, yet soft glass sculptures, and ample and plush social seating areas designed for a relaxation, all accented by ubiquitous, natural light.

Shoppers have access to a VIP special fitting area where Saks sales agents will deliver clothing from the main store for shoe fittings.

The store offers complimentary delivery service of purchases to a customer’s home, hotel or office via “The Saks Shops Express” within town and in select surrounding areas.

Hours are Mon., Tues. and Wed. 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Thurs. 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Fri. and Sat. 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sun. noon to 6 p.m.
