Rentals
Don't buy a new dress. Be new in an old one.
Borrow a slip, a gown, or a full showstopper for the weekend. Every rental comes with a private fitting, steaming, and cleaning folded in. Fall in love with it, and the rental comes off the price.

The Pre-Game Party
The good part is getting ready.
Robes and slippers on arrival, drinks and bites, and the whole group getting dressed together from the racks, with hair, makeup, and a photographer when you want them. Then out into the night. Bridals, birthdays, premieres, prom.
The Salon Party
The party is the event.
A private gathering in the salon itself: arrive done up, robes over everything, drinks in hand, and shopping woven through the celebration. Birthdays, bachelorettes, showers, and any night that deserves better than a restaurant table.
Hosted in Hudson & Los Angeles.
Private Styling
An hour with the eye.
One on one, by appointment. Pulls ready in your size for your occasion, a robe and a drink on arrival, and honest help finding the piece you didn't know you were looking for.
Offered in Hudson & Los Angeles.
Personal Shopping
Tell me what you're hunting.
A wardrobe built for you, piece by piece. Vintage or not, the brief is designer: your sizes, your colors, your names. Jenna shops it from her own racks and her buying trips, all the way up to a full designer wardrobe gathered in Paris. You describe the life; she finds the clothes.

Loading the racks…
Two collectors. One shared world.
Hidden Gem is the world Jenna and Clare have built together, one find at a time. Collecting side by side for years has a way of rubbing off: we've inspired each other, talked each other into things, and let our tastes mingle. Vintage clothing, romantic lingerie, jewelry, and unusual objects live together here: silk, silver, leather, lace, and the wonderfully peculiar.
Our first love is our flagship boutique at 518 Warren Street in Hudson, New York. Tucked downstairs, it's a little world of rich fabrics and unexpected treasures, where every corner is worth exploring. The perfect place to lose track of time.
In Los Angeles, our growing collection comes to life through private shopping salons, where the racks come out, the candles get lit, and every piece is one of one. When it's gone, it's gone.

Shipping, returns & care
Shipping
Hidden Gem is two collections under one roof, and each collection checks out through its own shop. Jenna's pieces: $15 flat shipping, free on orders over $250. Clare's pieces: free shipping on orders over $175; below that, carrier rates are calculated at her checkout. If your bag holds pieces from both collections, you will check out once with each shop, and each order ships on its own.
Returns
All sales are final on vintage, at both shops: no refunds. Every piece is one of one, and we list measurements on each one because vintage sizing is not modern sizing. Check them carefully before you buy: fit alone is not grounds for a return. The exceptions are handled case by case: a piece damaged in transit, or an error on our part, including a piece that arrives grossly misrepresented. Where we take a piece back, the remedy is store credit. If something's wrong, contact us and we will make it right.
Clare's handmade pieces are made to order, and orders with her can be cancelled within two days of purchase, before they go into production. Her full policy lives at her own shop.
Care
Every piece is gently cleaned and finished with steam before it is photographed, listed, and shipped. Intimates and bodysuits are fully cleaned and steamed, no exceptions, and antique silk is handled by hand.
