Our Story

We started Central Park West in 1992 with a simple goal: to create effortlessly stylish pieces that women could wear every day, no matter where life took them. What we didn’t realize at the time was just how much of a journey that would be.

There were no shortcuts. No overnight success stories. Just years of refining, learning, and growing—one collection, one boutique, one loyal customer at a time. We built this brand from the ground up, earning a grassroots following of women who love fashion but live in the real world. Women who want pieces that feel just as good at 8 a.m. as they do at 8 p.m.

Today, Central Park West is found in over 1,000 boutiques across the country, from small, independently owned shops to some of the best specialty stores out there. But despite our growth, we’ve never lost what made us special: our commitment to quality, fit, and timeless design.

Our collections are always versatile, effortless, and put together. And while our collections have evolved over the years, one thing hasn’t changed: we design for women who do it all.

More than 30 years later, CPW is still here, not because we followed every trend, but because we stayed true to the women who wear our clothes. They built this brand alongside us, and they’re the reason we’re just getting started.
