DC regorge de boutiques locales qui proposent des vêtements, des chaussures, des accessoires et des cadeaux cool.
La boutique de Nancy Perlstein est peut-être nichée au calme dans Cady's Alley à Georgetown, mais Relish demeure une cathédrale de vêtements de créateurs. Le stock penche vers le sur mesure, sobre et européen: Dries van Noten, Martin Margiela, Massimo Alba avec quelques accents américains (salut Marc Jacobs!) Le personnel est une armée chic de stylistes.
Vous trouverez plus que des chapeaux uniques dans ce Dupont Circle boutique (même si vous trouverez plein de chapeaux sympas). Cette Établissement de CD propose des trouvailles telles que des vêtements de fête de jardin de Tracy Reese en été, des looks d'après-ski de Plenty en hiver, ainsi que des accessoires, des vêtements pour enfants, des jouets, des livres-cadeaux et des articles ménagers. Chapeau bas à cette boutique !
Ce magasin de bonbon stocke des articles de consignation de luxe de marques recherchées comme Chanel, Emilio Pucci et Roberto Cavalli, ainsi qu'une collection de vêtements flambant neufs. Gardez un œil sur le moment où le magasin organise des ventes aux enchères sur place si vous souhaitez obtenir un investissement.
The name is apt: Sel et divers has everything from home goods to baby products to stationery. Be prepared to want it all, whether you keep up an active correspondence or not. Candles, cleansers, clothing, drinkware, etched glass, furnishings....that's just the beginning. There's also a “Gifts for Guys” section, lest you think the establishment caters only to women buyers. The store also has a nook for DC-specific wares, both District-themed and made locally. Last but certainly not least, the salt they sell is pink, Himalayan and fantastic.
With "Furnishings and Whatnot" as its subtitle, Mademoiselle Pixie immediately telegraphs how playful and fun it is. Quirky delights emerge throughout the sea of products, including vintage furniture, silverware, postcards, decor and much more. Owner Pixie Windsor recently downsized the store from its iconic 14th Street spot to a more manageable space back in its original home in Adams Morgan. You're still sure to discover gems at the DC staple that has been around for more than 25 years. Note that most goods are in and out within a week, so act quickly. And each customer gets a free pink pen.
A revelation of consignment shopping, Secondes is ideal for a "treat yoself" day as some of its products are on the pricier side for a secondhand boutique. Even if you’re just browsing, this gem and its second floor views of Dupont Circle are a perfect pick-me-up when you need a moment to refresh. Prices decrease the longer an item remains in the store, which is a fun but risky game to play with the high-end brands that end up here.
You’re strolling through Georgetown when you spot the chairs and umbrellas at the quieter end of Potomac Street. You’re heading toward them, away from the buzz of M Street, and you notice to your right a gate to a garden and a tiny sign: “OPEN". You walk through the gate, down a brick path, into the garden and right to the door of a completely hidden and totally tempting gift and garden store. It’s an absolute treasure, full of unique items including one-of-a-kind handmade journals, plants, gemstones, inscribed compasses and inspirational art. In short, it's a dazzling array of heartfelt items you never knew were there in a place you may have never discovered without us to guide you. You can thank us later.
A mainstay in the heart of Woodley Park, this unassuming vitrine is easy to walk past if you’re not paying attention. But once you step inside (at 2062 Connecticut Avenue NW, to be precise), the sweetly incensed interior is full of authentic Indian apparel and crafts that are both gorgeous and affordable. Behind the counter, you’ll find amiable owner Vijay Bhojwani, who will treat you like a longtime friend and make sure you find everything you’re looking for. From elephant print pants to t-shirts to delicately embroidered dresses, India Art & Craft is a small wonder.
