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:

Partners Card runs October 24-November 2.

Away: The cult-favorite travel brand known for its sleek and functional luggage brings modern wanderlust energy to the mix. The brand’s mission — to make travel seamless and inspiring — aligns perfectly with Partners Card’s spirit of connection and community.
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.
Varley: Founded by husband-and-wife duo Lara and Ben Mead, Varley bridges the gap between activewear and ready-to-wear. Expect refined knits, sleek outerwear, and effortlessly polished pieces for an elevated wardrobe designed for how you live and move.

World Cup hat, sure to be the summer's hottest accessory.

FIFA World Cup hats are sure to be the hottest fashion accessory of summer in Dallas, and now getting one is as easy as buying a Dr Pepper.

Vending machines dispensing officially licensed FIFA merchandise have been installed at two Dallas-Fort Worth shopping centers:

Shops at Legacy East in Plano, near Half Shells (7201 Bishop Rd #E4, Plano)
Southlake Town Square in Southlake, located in the breezeway next to Rowan (1426 Civic Pl, Southlake)

Unless you have high-priced tickets to the games, these are sure to be the most convenient way to purchase tournament-themed souvenirs and apparel around the clock, in person.

According to a release, the machines will be available 24 hours a day through August 1, 2026.

They are stocked with officially licensed FIFA World Cup 2026 items including hats, scarves, mascot figurines, necklaces, collectible souvenirs, and other fan gear.

According to the FIFA website, hats run about $35-$45, mascot plushes are $35, and a Lego FIFA World Cup 2026 Official Trophy is $325.

The installations are among the first of their kind at North Texas retail centers and arrive as anticipation continues to build for the FIFA World Cup's return to the United States.

"As North Texas prepares to welcome fans from around the world, the merchandise machines offer visitors an early chance to join the excitement and celebrate the growing soccer energy sweeping across the region," says the release.

Dallas-Fort Worth is expected to be one of the tournament's busiest host regions, welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors (or more) from around the globe, beginning in early June.

They will start with Netherlands vs. Japan on June 14, followed by England vs. Croatia on June 17, Argentina vs. Austria on June 22, Japan vs. Sweden on June 25, and Jordan vs. Argentina on June 27.

The stadium will also host two Round of 32 matches (June 30 and July 3), one Round of 16 match (July 6), and one Semi-Final match (July 14).
