Saks Jandel was a legendary Washington, D.C., boutique operating from 1888 to 2016, evolving from a fur purveyor to a high-fashion destination under the Marx family’s leadership. Known for carrying top designers and dressing first ladies, celebrities, and socialites, it played a significant role in the capital’s style scene, particularly for galas and inaugural events. Its closure in 2016, driven by Peter Marx’s shift to real estate, reflected broader retail challenges. Today, its legacy persists through vintage items available online. For further details, historical fashion archives or platforms like The Washington Post (which covered its closure) could provide additional insights.
