Louis Vuitton unveils new NorthPark Dallas store that's a work of art

Louis Vuitton fans just received an extra gift this holiday shopping season — a glittering, newly renovated store at Dallas' NorthPark Center. Located on level one next to Nike, the boutique opened Saturday, November 14, after being under construction since early spring.

Beyond carrying the women's and men's ready-to-wear collections, jewelry, leather goods, fragrance, and accessories that LV shoppers covet, the store itself — encompassing more than 10,000 square feet — is a work of art.

They've specifically designed it as a destination, a place to look around with wonder while you're contemplating an overnight bag purchase.

"The significantly expanded store incorporates unique art and design elements, using innovative materials and architectural approaches that simultaneously reference the House's rich history and renowned craftsmanship while carefully integrating ultra-modern components," the company touts in a release. "The new store provides clients with a unique shopping experience surrounded by specially curated works of art, furniture, and historical objects sourced from Louis Vuitton's rich archive."

Among the artworks on display are montages by Todd Eberle; a piece by Anish Kapoor; and a James Turrell photograph of his installation "Akhob," from Louis Vuitton Las Vegas City Center. Vintage furniture pieces include designs by Carlo Scarpa, SUPEREGO, Federico Munari, and Carlo Mollino.

More highlights of the artful redesign include:

A grand entry featuring a central galley of stone flanked by hardwood floors.
Illuminated ceilings throughout, mimicking skylights, while a wood ceiling hangs over the men's area.
A canopy of Concertina Shades by Raw Edges from the Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades collection that hovers above a watches & jewelry display.
A dedicated women's ready-to-wear space, marked by a double height ceiling with floor-to-ceiling windows and clerestory windows on opposing sides.
Five suspended Mandalas by Zanellato/Bortotto, which create a stunning Objets Nomades showcase.
A private VIP area with a window visually connecting it to an outdoor space. The store opens to CenterPark Garden.

The new store's hours are 10 am-8 pm Monday-Saturday and 12 pm-6 pm Sunday.

Louis Vuitton is also participating in the NorthPark To-Go curbside shopping program, with pickup in the South Blue Lot. More information here.

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.
