3 new brands to shop at NorthPark Center during Partners Card

It’s the time of year again when Dallas shoppers can give back simply by treating themselves. Partners Card, the beloved annual shopping event benefitting The Family Place, returns October 24 through November 2, offering 20% discounts at more than 750 retailers and and 10% off at certain restaurants across North Texas.

Every $100 Partners Card purchase directly supports The Family Place and its mission to end family violence in North Texas, helping fund shelter, counseling, and safety for survivors.

At the heart of the Partners Card action is NorthPark Center, the city’s premier shopping destination and a longtime supporter of The Family Place. Each year the mall becomes a hub for style-lovers looking to shop for good (just keep an eye out for those iconic red and purple balloons), and this year three brands are making their Partners Card debut at NorthPark Center:

Gianvito Rossi: A new jewel in NorthPark’s luxury lineup, this Italian label epitomizes craftsmanship and elegance. Known for its minimalist yet empowering shoe designs, Gianvito Rossi’s participation marks a stylish expansion of the event’s fashion footprint.

A Dallas bridal boutique is closing after 56 years: Mockingbird Bridal Boutique, which has been open at 5602 E. Mockingbird Ln. since 1969, will close on December 31.

According to a statement, the owners were facing retirement, and sold their ownership share of their building location.

Mockingbird Bridal was founded by Helen Shelton and has since been owned and operated by her granddaughters Amber Harris and Ashley Pappas — spending more than five decades dressing generations of North Texas brides.

"Mockingbird Bridal has been my life’s joy for over 56 years,” Amber Harris says in a statement. “Watching generations of brides — and often their mothers and daughters — find the gown that made them feel truly beautiful has been the greatest privilege. While saying goodbye is bittersweet, I’m filled with gratitude for every bride, every tear of joy, and every ‘yes to the dress’ we’ve shared.”

Until they close, Mockingbird Bridal is holding an Everything Must Go Closing Sale beginning immediately and running through December 31.

Designer gowns are 50 percent off, and this will include:

new, never-worn samples and in-stock styles
Iconic collections from Demetrios, Pronovias, Casablanca, Allure, and Stephen Yearick
Sizes 0–30 available

No appointment necessary — walk-ins welcome during regular business hours.

“We want every last gown to find its bride,” Amber and Ashley say. “These are the same world-class designers and impeccable quality brides have trusted us for since 1969 — now at half the price."
