Savvy Dressing for Women Committed to Excellence
"True elegance is all about being stylish with staying power, that's our design mantra." – Carlisle Founder & CEO, William Rondina
Carlisle's New York design team creates four collections a year—spring, summer, fall and holiday - from fabrics sourced by the finest mills in the world. Carlisle's designers create clothing for women who appreciate personalized service and insist on an impeccable, stylish wardrobe with meticulous and thoughtful details such as sculpted waistbands, careful darts and flat-stitched pleats that ensure a feminine, flattering fit.
Across the country, Carlisle is available exclusively through appointment-only showrooms and trunk shows. During an appointment, our knowledgeable Wardrobe Consultants share their fashion savvy and expert wardrobe-building skills to help each client achieve a look that suits her taste, personality and unique lifestyle. Executives, diplomats, TV personalities, cultural leaders, and other busy women turn to Carlisle for its impeccable design and classic yet modern style. One reason that busy women so often turn to Carlisle is for the proven versatility of its lines. Also known as the Carlisle Advantage, our utilitarian design efforts afford women the opportunity to mix and match their separates within and across seasonal looks, creating a one-stop-shopping experience where women can build a beautiful wardrobe that lasts.
Experienced Designers
The Carlisle management and design teams possess an outstanding fashion pedigree, having gained experience at Christian Dior, Bill Blass, Tahari, Ellen Tracy, and Burberry, among others. Each collection is the result of this collective knowledge—intuitive design sense and a studied understanding of perfect fit and function. Our team is focused on making women look and feel divine.
Personalized Service
The Carlisle Wardrobe Consultant acts as a personal stylist, using her fashion expertise to develop and customize a fun, functional wardrobe tailored to the client's personality and lifestyle. Consultants keep records of all clients' purchases for easy coordination of existing and current pieces. Many Consultants even make personalized "closet calls" to help clients maximize their wardrobes by putting things together in new ways.
Great Prices
Because the Carlisle Collection is sold through trunk shows and our by-appointment showrooms, the conventional and costly retail overhead is eliminated. This direct sales model allows our consultants to offer superior quality clothing at extremely competitive prices.
Fabulous Fabrics
While each season's collection is stylistically distinct, all offer couture textiles from the best mills in England, Italy and France among others. Whether it's a rich bouclé for a jacket, a silky charmeuse for a lining or a high-tech stretch for a slimming trouser, our fabrics give our pieces quality and character.
Quality Manufacturing
From concept to completion, each Carlisle piece is impeccable in detail, from linings and seams to zippers, buttons and trim. Each perfect garment is the result of our longtime relationships with Hong Kong's most discerning manufacturers, ensuring the highest level of consistency and quality.
So whether it's with an opera-night ensemble, a business suit or a casual outfit for an afternoon party, your Carlisle Wardrobe Consultant will make sure you always present an elegant, spot-on style that draws admiring appraisals.
