A New Chapter

WELCOME TO CLAIRE & RILEY
CAPE MAY, EST. 2005

What started as our mother Margaret's dream in 1978 a small boutique on the sun-warmed streets of Cape May became our life's work. When we took over, we gave it a new name. Our name. But the heart remained exactly the same.

For over 45 years, this place has been our everything.

But this year, our landlord tripled our rent. After nearly five decades on the same beloved street, we have no choice but to move.

Before we go, we want to give something back to the women who made this journey so special. That is why we are offering up to 70% off our entire collection.

Thank you for being part of our story. 🤍

With love, Claire & Riley, Cape May
