1839 | New York City
A Legacy Begins
In 1839, John Windsor founded our store in the heart of New York City, USA. From its modest beginnings, the store grew into an enduring symbol of craftsmanship and timeless style. Its original location remains a cherished part of the city’s rich commercial history, blending 19th-century charm with a commitment to modern excellence. Over the years, our store has continued to honor its founder’s vision, evolving while preserving its storied heritage.

Modern Times
The Sixties | Pioneering Exclusive Collections
In the vibrant era of the 1960s, Donald Windsor, a visionary entrepreneur and a proud descendant of John Windsor, carried forward the spirit of innovation and bold creativity that defined our store. In a rapidly modernizing society, Donald recognized the growing demand for exclusive fashion collections that catered to evolving lifestyles and tastes.
During this transformative decade, we introduced The Modern Muse, a line dedicated to young women aged 16 to 25, reflecting their bold, independent spirit and embracing designs that broke free from traditional norms.
For women in their 30s and 40s, balancing dynamic personal and professional lives, The Timeless Edit emerged, offering refined pieces that combined sophistication with versatility.
Men weren’t left behind, as Scroll Men’s Atelier became the go-to destination for elevated menswear, offering sharp, tailored styles for men of all ages who appreciated attention to detail and timeless design.
The brand didn’t stop at apparel. With Windsor Home, the store ventured into home textiles and décor, introducing elegant and innovative designs that brought style and comfort into every living space.
The 1960s marked not just a decade of change but a defining chapter in our store's story—a testament to its commitment to quality, originality, and an unwavering connection to its customers' lives.
