Maje Part-Time Sales Specialist- Madison Avenue, NYC

Company Overview

Founded in 1998, Maje is the chic Parisian label from designer Judith Milgrom. Maje stands for the initials of Judith's loved ones and was created for a woman who is a lover of glamorous and feminine fashion. Judith is a heroine, a woman of action and ambition, but above all, a designer who knows that behind each of her creations lies a woman. The Maje wardrobe, inspired by her determination, blends the classic and the original with a focus on glamorous pieces and sharp details. The Maje spirit is a resolutely feminine silhouette, both simple and bold. Maje is a beautiful story, an eclectic wardrobe mirroring the image of its creator's passion and effervescence. Today, Maje has over 170 locations worldwide, including 48 points of sale in North America. Along with Sandro and Claudie Pierlot, Maje is part of the SMCP group, a leading company in the accessible luxury sector that directly operates 1.000 doors in 35 countries worldwide, directly or through partnerships.
