The idea behind Boutique 1861 was to encourage and enable women to indulge in the pleasure of dressing up from head to toe, or rather from tiara to glass slipper. In order to revive the elegance of the Victorian Era, 1861 offers a complete  and varied range of clothing and accessories that are wonderfully feminine alternatives to the classic – and sometimes tiresome – jeans and t-shirt combination.

Today, the 1861 family has brought together a group of extraordinary women who share the same enthusiasm for the finer things in life. An incredible team of one hundred employees work daily to expand and share the ramantic universe of 1861 and ensure the delight of our beloved clients.

Our story is proof that to create your own fairy tale, you must follow your dreams with passion.

You're invited to a shopping trip that's completely affordable, highly satisfying...
and of course, one of a kind...!
