The Costume Junction

Costume Craze began in 2001 as Matthew’s Robes. Founder Matthew Maloney began selling monk robes online. But it wasn’t long until “monk robes” grew into something much, much more. Today the company is called Costume Craze, and while they still sell those original monk robes, they also carry thousands of other costumes and accessories all year round!

With help from co-founders Kathleen and Kate Maloney, as well as a dedicated team of enthusiastic employees, what started as a home based business by Matthew is now – and within just a few short years – one of the world’s largest online costume retailers. To stay ahead of the pack, Costume Craze is continually updating its product mix — up to 1,000 new products are introduced each year — and its business practices. The company manufactures its own exclusive costume lines and made-to-order mascots, and sells accessories like makeup, shoes and jewelry. Costume Craze ships worldwide and is planning country-specific Web sites to take advantage of local cultures’ costuming occasions.
