The Future of Saint Claude Social Club

Recently, the owners of the beloved Saint Claude Social Club said farewell to their brick-and-mortar shop; both literally and figuratively. In an effort to share their curated sartorial offerings and joie de vivre with a more expansive audience, the founders will instead host a series of curated shopping experiences in various inspiring locales. Margaret Sche, one of two female founders who cut her teeth as a stylist and merchandising professional, took a moment to chat with me about the exciting future of the brand.  

Avenue: What prompted the move from a brick-and-mortar concept to hosting experience-based events? 

Leaving our physical space on Sophie B Wright has opened the doors to so much new creativity. We have always been about creating a community and wanted to go beyond just offering racks of clothes; to give our customers a chance to meet and socialize and engage in a more dimensional shopping experience.  

Avenue: Tell us about your first event? 

Our first event, Around the World in a Day, is inspired by our love of travel and the beloved international brands we carry. Set in a beautiful private home with a grand wrap around porch, attendees can sip tropical daiquiris and browse products from makers around the globe. Gauzy dresses by Romanian crafted brand, Vacances d’Irina, incenses and perfumes by Paris based brand, Montroi as well as jewelry by SCSC co-owner Sarah Killen and History Time Travel will all be splayed about the venue and available for purchase. 

Avenue: What can we expect at future events?  

We like to keep it a fun surprise, but we’ll continue to evolve our idea of curated experiences while remaining committed to facilitating community interaction. Not every event will focus on shopping but will always feature something inspiring that aligns with our brand.
