Restorative Massage LLC Chantilly Lace unique boutique
S
special someone. Located in a stately Colonial home with vaulted ceilings, mahogany trim and fireplace, Chantilly Lace was created by a woman for women, and was named after The Big Bopper’s hit song. Chantilly Lace offers fine lingerie by top designers, peignoir sets for brides, bras, panties, pantyhose and stockings for every day. Although she is a registered dental hygienist, owner Joan Martucci opted to build her business around her love for fine Joan Martucci lingerie – from flannel to silk. Joan opened her store in Ridgewood in 1987, but saw the opportunity to expand and to offer ample parking at the Wyckoff location, where she has operated since 1991. Over the years, styles and product lines may have changed, but Joan’s loyal customers have been returning for two and three generations. “I go out of my way to meet customers’ needs.” Joan says. “If I don’t have a particular item, I will try to get it.” Personalized service and the nopressure atmosphere make Chantilly Lace a great place to shop. Joan has provided bra and mastectomy fittings – free of charge – for 22 years. “This really is my forté,” she says, adding that she provides an honest, accurate evaluation of what products best fit each customer’s needs. While she already has a large selection, Joan is planning to expand her lines of bras and panties to better service her customers. A wide range of sizes and styles are available, from petite to plus, and special orders are welcome. Ask Joan about specialty items, such as adhesive bras, which provide proper support in tandem with backless or strapless dresses, as well as the Brabag and Panty Pak uniquely designed for travelling and exclusive to her boutique. Visit Chantilly Lace Monday through Friday from 10 to 6, Thursday until 8, and Saturday from 10-5. Call (201) 847-8747 for additional information.

I’m satisfied when I see our customers come in and take in the shop’s atmosphere and wander throughout the rooms with a smile on their face,” she says of her everexpanding venture. Tracey retained the shop’s fine invitations and stationery collections, but added her own flair, including a website that offers etiquette tips and stationery time-lines for wedding Tracey Pernetti planning. She’s expanded the product lines to include a broader offering of invitations such as letterpress, and collections that allow you to create your own invitation. Also new are gifts, writing instruments, seasonal items, home accents and jewelry. Products are available at a range of price levels. There is an area devoted especially to wedding invitations, where brides and grooms can make their selection in a comfortable setting Tracey, who balances her role as businesswoman and mother, features a popular area where youngsters draw on a pint-sized chalkboard while their parents browse through greeting cards, stationery, candles, frames, leather journals, tote bags and an extraordinary selection of paper plates, napkins and wrapping paper.
