Where To Shop Now

Where to shop in Dallas right now: 13 must-hit stores for November

There have been so many store openings lately that we may have set some kind of record here in Dallas. That’s good news, given that it’s our favorite pastime.

This is where we’re shopping this month.

Akola
The Dallas-based jewelry and accessories brand has relocated its flagship from Deep Ellum to Snider Plaza. In addition to the regular offerings, the new location also carries a new contemporary line with pieces made of silk-knotted beads, gold discs with 14-karat gold plating, and gemstones. All net proceeds are returned to Akola’s development projects in Uganda and Dallas.

Bandier
The Highland Park Village boutique dedicated to fitness wear is selling exclusive Southern Methodist University gear. The SMU collection includes a bra, leggings, and hoodie, with prices ranging from $60-$125.

B&B Italia
In partnership with Internum, the Dallas Design District now has a monobrand store from contemporary furniture brand B&B Italia. Inside the 6,000-square-foot space find displays for B&B Italia, B&B Italia Outdoor, and the Maxalto Collections.

Birchwood
This store dedicated to contemporary home furnishings, décor, and gifts recently debuted on Henderson Avenue. It stocks products from more than 50 independent artists and design houses — everything from soy candles to wall art to furniture.

Club Monaco
The doors to this West Village store recently closed; however, it’s now open again on level one at NorthPark Center, between Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. Shoppers can find the same modern yet timeless pieces that have lured fashionistas since the first store opened in Toronto in 1985.

DLM Supply
This new Oak Cliff shop offers menswear, gifts, and quirky accessories. Brands include Billy Reid, Relwen, Filson, S.M.N Denim, Goodlife, J Brand, Raleigh, La Paz, and Portuguese Flannel. It also stocks an extensive line of accessories brands.

Est. 1914
Another newcomer to Oak Cliff, this shop comes from vintage veteran Mike Levine. Modeled after cutting-edge stores in New York, Est. 1914 specializes in vintage and gently worn on-trend fashion, procured by buyers from around the country. There’s a grand opening party on November 19, 3-6 pm, with food, drinks, giveaways, discounts, and DJ Sober.

Flea Style
The annual shopping event returns November 11-12, featuring more than 300 artisans and small businesses showcasing goods — art, furniture, paper goods, clothing and jewelry, and pet gear — in the 85,000-square-foot Automobile Building at Fair Park. Tickets start at $5, and doors open on Friday, November 11, at 5 pm for the First Dibs Event, and at 9 am on Saturday.

Jingle Dwell Holiday Pop-Up
Dwell With Dignity has added a new charitable pop-up to its repertoire. Jingle Dwell starts with a posh preview party on November 9, where shoppers can bid on Christmas trees decorated by top Dallas designers and get first dibs on high-end holiday decor. The event continues through November 20, and proceeds benefit Dwell With Dignity.

Outdoor Voices
The Austin-based active lifestyle brand has set up shop at 4539 Travis St., in Knox District. Expect to find the brand’s core product line like the OV Kits, which are essentially bundles of all the pieces needed for a solid workout. Other outdoor necessities like tennis shoes, frisbees, jump ropes, and dog leashes make this store a must-visit before a weekend of outdoor activity.

Singer & Monk
In need of a fedora, bowler, or panama-style hat? Hit up this new shop in the Bishop Arts District for hat options that ooze old-school style and sophistication. Recognizable brands include Brixton and Country Gentleman, with eventual plans to start selling a private label.

Soft Surroundings
The luxury lifestyle brand for women — everything from clothing and jewelry to bedding and fragrance — is opening a second Dallas-Fort Worth store this month at Preston Park Village in Plano. (The first is at Southlake Town Square.) The first 100 guests to show up to shop on Friday, November 18, for the grand opening party get a gift bag valued at $200.

Warby Parker
The designer eyewear brand has opened a shop at NorthPark Center, on level one between Nordstrom and Macy’s, offering affordable, stylish glasses starting at jut $95. The store also offers a selection of sunglasses. This is the brand’s first location inside a shopping center and its second in Dallas.

Charleston-based personalized jewelry brand Hart is debuting its first Texas boutique in Dallas, and it couldn't have picked a better spot than the bustling Knox Street district.

The boutique will open Saturday, August 29 at 3212 Knox St., marking the company's fifth retail location nationwide, after stores in Charleston, New York, Nashville, and Nantucket.

According to a release, the Dallas shop will offer Hart's (officially styled HART) popular collection of talismans, chains, cords, bezel jewelry, earrings, and gemstone strands, designed to be mixed and layered. The brand is particularly known for personalized jewelry, with shoppers able to work one-on-one with a member of the Hart team to select symbols and talismans for a custom piece.

The Dallas location will also carry a collection of pieces created specifically for the Texas market, the owners say.

For the store's design, Hart worked with Dallas firm Burkle Creative, which specializes in residential, hospitality, and retail interiors.

"Hart has built a brand around meaningful pieces that tell a story, so our approach was to create a retail environment that feels equally personal," says Javier Burkle, Burkle Creative principal and creative director, in the release. "We wanted the Dallas store to honor Hart's Charleston heritage while embracing the spirit of Texas, blending their unique character and a sense of discovery throughout the space.

"The result is a store that feels like stepping into the home of a well-traveled collector, where every detail invites customers to explore and connect with the brand."

The Dallas opening follows Hart's move into a permanent New York flagship on Bleecker Street in the West Village.

"Dallas has one of the most stylish, confident, and individualistic customer bases in the country," says Hart Hagerty, Hart chief creative officer. "We've been inspired by the Dallas woman for years, her boldness, her sense of self, her commitment to dressing with intention. We are so excited to finally be here."

Curry Hagerty, Hart's CEO, said Dallas has been a hot market for the brand online and through local wholesale partners Clover and St. Bernard. Now they're bringing everything directly to Dallas shoppers.

"Dallas has consistently been one of our top markets for online sales," Hagerty says. "We also have strong wholesale relationships already in the market through Clover and St. Bernard, so we know this customer and she knows us. Opening in Dallas was less a question of if and more a question of when."

Hart's new store will be part of the Knox Street shopping and dining district, near the Katy Trail and surrounded by more than 70 shops and restaurants.

A grand opening event will take place Saturday, August 29 beginning at 10 am. The first 50 people will receive a custom Hart Dallas tote, custom bandana, and $50 gift card. A latte art cart will be on site to supply sustenance.

Once fully open, the Dallas boutique will be open 10 am-7 pm Monday-Saturday and 10 am-6 pm Sunday.
