With fancy store openings and several reopenings, Dallasites have quite a list of places to check out this month. How will you ever decide where to shop first?
Christofle
The luxury silversmith is now open for business in Highland Park Village. Christofle is known for flatware and silver trays; however, gifts and accessories such as frames, candles, baby gifts, and desk accessories add depth to the brand’s first Dallas boutique. Customization and engraving, along with gift wrapping and comprehensive cleaning service, are available.
Draper James
Reese Witherspoon’s Southern-inspired fashion and lifestyle brand opened the doors to its Highland Park Village store earlier this month. The 1,800-square-foot boutique features ready-to-wear, accessories, and home products in a variety of seasonal prints. The Dallas store marks the second brick-and-mortar location for the brand.

Neiman Marcus
Dallas-based jewelry company Akola is launching a new luxury line available at Neiman Marcus, and 100 percent of sales will be socially reinvested to help women in poverty around the world. Akola was launched by Dallasite Brittany Merrill Underwood as the first full-impact jewelry brand in the luxury space. All jewelry is created and produced entirely by impoverished women in Uganda and Dallas
Pockets
Shop this traditional men’s boutique — for a new suit or everyday wear — as it celebrates a grand reopening post flood damage.

REI
Dallas-based brand Hari Mari is now offering its signature flip-flop at Texas REI stores, where they will be stocked year-round. This launch is followed by a spring 2017 rollout of Hari Mari across 32 REI locations nationally. One percent of the brand’s sales benefits Flops Fighting Cancer.
