Hi ,
Each year, in that in-between season when New York feels most alive and summer lies just around the bend, we get to toast another year of Margaux. This birthday marks nine years since day one, when we set 5:00 a.m. alarms to watch our first site featuring our first product go live, and Margaux launched (with a pinch-us story in Vogue!) out into the world.
As with most anniversaries, it feels like it's both been forever and no time at all. Some days we can’t help but wonder where the time went, and on others we whisper “how young we were then!” We were, after all, just twenty-two and setting out on the most improbable of journeys.
But it’s not the origin story that matters: It’s what follows. What started with two best friends searching for the just-right shoes to complete their real-life wardrobes has grown into so much more—friends, factories, and community all working in tandem with that same mission. Doing work that you love is a gift that we're so grateful for; getting to do it with a community that embraces the same values of curiosity and friendship is a dream.
From the days of packing every order ourselves to the sell-out launches of late, the past nine years have been filled with moments that made us proud and taught us so much about life and business and ourselves. The world of Margaux is a special one—and one each of you played a role in creating.
Happy birthday, Margaux. We’re so glad you’re on this journey with us.
Sarah + Alexa
