Where To Shop Now

Where to shop in Dallas right now: 8 must-hit stores for October

Partners Card, the annual fundraiser for Family Place that gives Dallas shoppers discounts at their favorite stores around the city, kicks off October 24. But here are some other suggestions for where to shop this month:

Alton Lane
In honor of its one-year anniversary in Dallas, the men's custom clothier, which uses 3D body-scanning technology, is offering a promotion through October 14. The store will take 15 percent off any black label suit or blazer and 10 percent off any black label shirt. There is also special savings for a group appointment of four men or more. You can even book an appointment online.

Anteks Curated
In mid-October, Anteks owner Jason Lenox is opening a second shop at the Plaza at Preston Center called Anteks Curated. Located next to Pockets, the boutique will offer gifts, home accessories, menswear — think feather bow ties and denim aprons — and select furnishings. Some items, such as Lenox's own home accessories line, will be carried at both Anteks Curated and his Design District shop.

BoConcept
BoConcept relocated its Dallas showroom from the Design District to Knox-Henderson. It opens with the new 2014 collection of Danish-designed furnishings, which are available in more colors, contrasts and combinations than ever before. Most everything in the store — sofas, chairs, tables, beds, storage systems, lighting, rugs and pillows — can be tailored to a customer's needs, and Conceptors can provide in-store or in-home consultations.

Emily Summers Studio 54
Dallas interior designer Emily Summers is taking her esteemed business to a new level with an upscale boutique opening at Highland Park Village on October 17. The 1,300-square-foot shop will house Summers' favorite vintage furnishings and custom pieces by local artists. Among the luxurious goods are contemporary furniture from KGBL, select 20th century furniture from Liz O'Brien and F.J. Hakimian's contemporary rugs.

J.Crew
J.Crew has opened another Dallas store at the buzzy new 3700M in West Village. Now preppy Uptowners can get stock up on all their favorite J.Crew classics, from denim and slacks to blouses and dresses to jackets and blazers. We love the new lambswool tipped sweater-tunic for fall.

Mulberry
The luxurious British brand opens at NorthPark Center on October 30, where it will offer signature leather accessories, shoes and womenswear, including the practical yet covetable Cara Delevingne bags. Another coup for NorthPark: This is Mulberry's first store in Texas.

Thrift Studio
The highly anticipated Thrift Studio pop-up shop is back in the Design District on October 10, featuring fabulous furniture and home accessories donated by local designers. Proceeds benefit Dwell with Dignity, a nonprofit that helps families escape poverty and homelessness through design, one household at a time. Shop through November 8.

Walking Company
Another new addition to NorthPark Center is Walking Company, located on level two between Nordstrom and Macy's. Shop for comfy shoes by the likes of Mephisto, Dansko, Ecco, Born and Clarks.

Alton Lane is offering special pricing through October 14 in honor of its one-year anniversary.

Where to shop in Dallas right now: 7 zany new stores to check out

Thrifted Threads

Thrifted Threads chill vibe

With the holidays on the horizon, shopping is on the rise. This November edition of Where to Shop, CultureMap's monthly roundup of new shops, sales, and alternative shopping, has five unique new openings, ranging from fashion to skin care to sports apparel.

The roundup also includes two non-traditional entries, including a new benefits program at an area mall, and a place to get your passport — in case you're planning on shopping abroad.

Here's where to shop in Dallas for November:

Baseballism
Baseball camp that transformed into an off-field baseball clothing brand is now open at Allen Premium Outlets. The store offers baseball-themed clothing, hats, and accessories. Their collection features collaborations with several big league names, including MLB, Babe Ruth, Vin Scully and Field of Dreams. Caps and hoodies are especially popular items, such as the Junior's Silhouette for $36 or the short Sleeve Yankees hoodie for $79.

Firewheel Town Center
Garland shopping center is in the giving spirit with its latest Shop, Dine & Save program. Visitors can shop or dine at select stores, including Buckle, DSW, and Razzoo's, Ferah Tex-Med Kitchen, and receive a $25 Simon giftcard when they spend $150 or more. To get the giftcard, receipts have to be shown at the mall management office and include at least one shop and one restaurant from the same day. The special lasts through November 27.

Hill House
Originally a bedding company that launched in 2016, Hill House has extended their collection to offer home, accessories, baby & kids, bridal, and apparel. They opened a location in NorthPark Center at the end of October — their first in Texas and only their fifth store. Hill House is best known for the "Nap Dress," a flowing dress made for day or night wear. There's also a short version of the dress, such as the Scarlett Long Sleeve Mini, a plaid dress for $188. Just in time for season, they've launched holiday pajamas, featuring pajama sets, robes, and children's sets.

Glossier
Skincare, beauty, and fragrance concept just opened a 1,000 square-foot store at NorthPark Center, featuring its trademark whimsical displays that one might mistake for an art supply or paint store. They sell fragrances, scented skin creams, balms, cleansers, moisturizers, makeup, eyelash curlers, and other beauty products, a little on the pricey side, but they make the shopping experience fun with an immersive shopping experience. That stuff doesn't come for free. This is their 12 location in the U.S., joining Atlanta, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, DC, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, NYC, Philadelphia, and Seattle.

Rally House
Sports apparel chain opened a location at Rockwall Crossing Shopping Center in Rockwall, with merchandise — headwear, accessories, collectibles — dedicated to Dallas-area teams including Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars, and college teams like the Texas Longhorns, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and Texas A&M Aggies. They also offer locally-themed apparel and accessories that celebrate Dallas destinations and landmarks, such as an Uscape Pom Mens Knit Hat with a graphic of the Dallas skyline for $30 or a long sleeve Dallas sweatshirt for $42. This is the 22nd location in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Thrifted Threads
Houston-based vintage clothing reseller just made its debut in Deep Ellum at 2646 Main St. #620, next to Vidorra. Thrifted Threads was founded by Laith Awad, who began reselling clothes in 2017, initially as an online store until he opened a location in 2022 in Houston's Montrose District when he was only 18. He opened a second store in College Station in 2023. Deep Ellum is the third. They're known vintage apparel from jerseys to sweatshirts and hats, as well as collections of color-sorted clothes from the 70s to the 2000s. It's more than a store, with arcade games that don't require coins to play, a motorcycle display, and ice cream.

Collin County Passport Office
If you're "shopping" for a passport, a passport office just reopened in the Collin County Courthouse at 2100 Bloomdale Rd., McKinney. The new passport acceptance office will initially be appointment only, with bookings available through the District Clerk's website. Plans are underway to introduce same-day and walkup services in the near future.
