Continuing a Five-Decade Legacy

The store has anchored women's fashion in Jackson since 1975, building a reputation for curated selections that go beyond what's available elsewhere in Mississippi. Under the Szilasi family's forty-year stewardship, Maison Weiss expanded its influence, eventually opening MW Squared in Oxford's downtown while maintaining its flagship presence in Highland Village.

New Leadership, Deep Roots

Spratlin brings fifteen years of Jackson retail experience from operating Blithe & Vine, understanding both the market and the community connections that sustain independent boutiques. Porter's background in law and state-level administration adds business acumen to the partnership. Both sisters grew up on the Gulf Coast before establishing themselves in Mississippi's retail and professional landscapes.

What Stays, What Evolves

The transition preserves the elements that made Maison Weiss essential - personalized service, carefully selected inventory spanning fashion to beauty products, and relationships with customers that often span generations. The existing staff remains, ensuring continuity in the shopping experience that regular clients expect.The outgoing owners are stepping back after decades of daily involvement, leaving behind a business they grew from its founding vision into a two-location operation. For shoppers, the fundamentals remain: a place where serious attention to style meets genuine knowledge of what works for Mississippi women's lives, seasons, and occasions.
