Lovely brocade style jacket, circa 1990's, worn very few times in my real estate days...Madison studio is a label of Belk's. My husband used to say that I should have had my own private parking space with my name on it at our small local store in Concord. One of my friend's from monroe, is from the Belk family, and her style is just impeccable.

Our History
Since 1888, the Southern woman has come to rely on Belk first, for her, for her family, for life. What began as a small bargain store in Monroe, NC has grown into the nation's largest privately held department store. Founder William Henry Belk's dedication to friendly service, fair prices and community involvement hasn't changed. In fact, it's stronger than ever.
1888:
William Henry Belk opens his first store in Monroe, NC with $750 in savings, a $500 loan, and $3,000 worth of goods taken on consignment. He convinces his brother, Dr. John Belk, to join as his partner. The business flourishes, often through store partnerships with trusted businessmen.
2010:
Belk launches a fresh new logo and tagline, firmly establishing Belk as the destination for "Modern. Southern. Style."
Belk, Inc., a private department store company based in Charlotte, N.C., is the home of Modern. Southern. Style. with 293 Belk stores located in 16 Southern states and a growing digital presence.
