history
In July 1977 a team of three people in what was then the Quelle group put together the first collection for Madeleine, the name of which was derived from the daughter Madeleine of the initiators Grete and Gustav Schickedanz . With the establishment of "Madeleine Mode Versand AG" with headquarters in St. Gallen, Switzerland, Madeleine fashion has also been available in Switzerland since 1989. In 1991 the first Madeleine branch was opened in Nuremberg. The first branch outside of Germany was then opened in St. Gallen in 1992. The company was founded in 1992 in Austria as Madeleine Mode GmbH and in 1999 in France as Madeleine SA
In February 1999 Quelle entered into a partnership with the entrepreneur Klaus Wirth under the name Tristyle, in which various special mail-order companies were combined, including Madeleine. TriStyle took over 51 percent of the company shares and Wirth became its managing director. The German headquarters were relocated to Zirndorf near Fürth in 2001 . Since 2001 the company has also been offering its articles on the Internet.
Madeleine's fashion has also been available in Belgium since 2007, followed by the Netherlands and Great Britain in 2008. In 2013 Madeleine celebrated its 35th anniversary.
