Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood’s central business district may be getting another boost, word is “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Melissa Gorga is bringing her clothing boutique, Envy by Melissa Gorga, to the former Jekyll and Hyde luggage store at 9 East Ridgewood Avenue in Ridgewood. Gorga is no stranger to controversy , she opened Envy in Montclair in 2015, and the boutique had a starring role in Season 7 of the Bravo housewife series. A falling out with her business partner led to a temporary closure of the shop in 2017. Envy sells fashionable high-end designer tops, dresses, shoes and accessories online and at the brick-and-mortar store at 609 Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair . However you will not find any Chanel at the store. According to the stores Facebook page “Chanel has informed Envy by Melissa Gorga that all of the Chanel branded goods previously offered & sold by our company were counterfeit & illegal. As such we have ceased all sales of Chanel branded goods & will not be carrying any such goods in our store”
So, she bought phony Chanel goods and tried to sell them…as authentic? And that is Chanel’s fault?
We’ve heard that someone’s looking to open up a vintage jeans store, especially for kids.
