About us

Ellen Marlowe is a small online boutique for women who love clothes with a vintage touch: velvet, lace, bows and silhouettes that feel a little bit old-world, made easy enough to wear today.

How we choose

We keep the collection short on purpose. Every piece is picked by hand for the same reasons: a flattering cut, a detail that makes it special, and a price that still feels fair. If we would not wear it or gift it, it does not make the shop.

How it works

We are an independent, online-only store. Our pieces are made by partner manufacturers and shipped directly from them to you. That keeps our prices down, and it is also why delivery takes a little longer than the big retailers: orders are processed in 1 to 3 business days and usually arrive 7 to 15 business days after they ship. Every order comes with a tracking number by email.

Our promise

  • Honest product descriptions and garment measurements in inches on every page.
  • Standard shipping for $4.95, free on orders of $75 or more.
  • 14-day returns on unworn items.
  • A real person answering your messages, usually within 1 to 2 business days.
