La Dentelliere has been a beloved fixture in Scarsdale Village for nearly four decades, offering an unmatched shopping experience that blends charm, quality, and community. Since opening its doors in November 1985, the shop has become a local treasure, known for its carefully curated collection of home decor, unique gifts, and luxurious products sourced from around the world.
La Dentelliere’s longevity is a testament to both its distinctive offerings and its deep connection to the Scarsdale community. “The people here are what makes this place special to me,” says Michelle Anderson, the shop’s owner. “We’ve been fortunate to know so many interesting ladies and gentlemen over the years. It’s been a joy to see customers become friends and part of the La Dentelliere family.” The shop’s appeal even extends to local men, who frequent it for gifts and cards, knowing they can always find something special. As [Insert Name] humorously puts it, “This is the shop where women get into trouble, and men get out of trouble!”
A key to La Dentelliere’s success is its warm, devoted staff. “I’ve been lucky to have the nicest, most dedicated team,” Anderson says. “They’re always so pleasant and helpful, and our customers feel that.”
Beyond its exceptional service, La Dentelliere’s reputation has earned it recognition even from academic circles. One notable moment in the shop’s history was when a business professor from Columbia University brought his students to observe how the store operates. “I was thrilled—how did he even know us? I thought, ‘I made it with the Ivy League!’” Anderson recalls with pride.
Through the years, La Dentelliere has become an integral part of the community, supporting local causes through donations and offering internships to young people. This spirit of involvement has helped the shop thrive, even in difficult times. The economic crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic presented significant challenges, but La Dentelliere adapted. During the pandemic, the shop’s Instagram presence became a lifeline, allowing customers to order products remotely and have them delivered to their homes. “Instagram kept us alive. Each day we’d post something new, and customers responded—it was a way to stay connected,”.
Looking ahead, La Dentelliere is preparing to celebrate its 40th anniversary with special events, including a Yves Delorme sale from October 18 to November 3, featuring 20% off on down comforters, pillows, duvet covers, and shams. The shop is also working on the exciting possibility of hosting a book signing with renowned chef Jacques Pépin. “We’re hopeful it will happen—fingers crossed!”.
As La Dentelliere approaches its 40th year, it remains a beloved institution in Scarsdale, offering more than just products—it offers a personal experience. “There’s nothing like visiting the shop in person, seeing and feeling the items, and sharing a chat and a few laughs,” says Anderson.
