Just when I thought I’d nearly sorted out my holiday shopping and narrowed in on what gifts I’ll be getting for everyone on my list, Madewell goes any drops a new special-edition collection that scrambles all my carefully curated shopping plans. The retailer has just teamed up with the endlessly enchanting Hudson Valley boutique hotel The Six Bells on a lineup that’s filled with as much nostalgia and kitschy charm as the countryside inn itself.
Opened in 2025, The Six Bells is set in Rosendale, New York, just under a two-drive drive from NYC but an entire world away. It’s the brainchild of Audrey Gelman, founder of The Wing, who’s envisioned the historic 1850s building to feel like you’re stepping into a whimsical dollhouse or something set in a children’s storybook—in other words, oozing with charm, character, and history. Naturally, the hotel has captured the fascination of the creative set in New York and just about everyone I know (myself included) has it earmarked as a wish list weekend escape.
As for the collection itself, it’s an edit of items that feel exactly like what I’d want to wear to feel cute while lounging at home during the holidays, including one very darling eyelet nightgown that I predict will be the first thing to sell out. But I can already tell that fans of the hotel will be eyeing the graphic tee, fair isle cardigan (and matching triangle scarf), and crafty home items like the kitschy candle and needlepoint pillow as the holiday gifts to give and get.
So sorry to all the gifts I’d already planned to buy, but after looking at the pieces in this Madewell collab, you’ve all just been bumped down the list. From tees, pajamas, and winter accessories to home décor items, discover and shop the full Madewell x The Six Bells collection of holiday treasures. For yourself, and everyone on your list.
