These Fifth Avenue Club suites are an evolution of the brand's existing Fifth Avenue Clubs, which have typically been housed within Saks Fifth Avenue stores and provide customers with personalized service.

Available to both local customers and hotel guests, these new Fifth Avenue Club Suites offer personal shopping and styling appointments, as well as special events, trunk shows and other shoppable experiences. The Fifth Avenue Club has recruited personal stylists in each market to provide customers with curated merchandise selections across all categories based on their needs and style preferences.

Stylists will present merchandise from both Saks.com and Saks Fifth Avenue stores during appointments.

Customers can connect with a stylist for an initial consultation either in-person or virtually to discuss style preferences, wardrobe needs, sizing and designer preferences. Following the consultation, the stylist will curate a personalized selection of merchandise from nearby Saks Fifth Avenue stores, which will be delivered to the styling suite. Fifth Avenue Club Suites feature digital touchpoints allowing clients to seamlessly browse and shop on Saks.com to find an alternative size, color or style.
