Madewell is the denim-led casualwear brand spun out of J.Crew, with about 140 U.S. stores and a strong DTC site at madewell.com. The Madewell Insider loyalty program is free and offers a denim recycling perk for old jeans. General-purpose credit cards typically code Madewell as department store in person and online shopping for web checkouts, and the brand does not currently have its own branded credit card.
