This Los Angeles-based fashion house is now open at NorthPark Center on level one just outside of Nordstrom.

Buck Mason
Buck Mason started with a very simple goal — to build the perfect T-shirt. Since this Los Angeles-based brand’s inception, meticulous construction has led to a full line of men’s and women’s clothing dubbed modern American classics. This is the only North Texas store, and it is in NorthPark Center on level one between Nordstrom and Macy’s.

Hari Mari
The Dallas-based company known for comfortable and colorful flip-flops has launched its first women’s boot just in time for cooler temps. Named “Midland,” this premium suede boot allows for easy slip on and slip off. It is offered in autumn, taupe, and black, and sells for $170 at the Dallas flagship, online, and in stores where Hari Mari is sold.

Hive & Colony
This bespoke menswear line is redefining the way men dress and is transforming garments, shoes, and accessories into custom pieces that can be treasured forever. The brand recently opened its only Texas location in NorthPark Center on level one, between Macy’s and Nordstrom. Styling starts by getting measured via the state-of-the-art 3D body scanner. It takes 300 measurements and draws a diagram to illustrate posture, pose, and stance in a matter of seconds.

James Avery Artisan Jewelry
The iconic Texas-based, family-owned jewelry retailer is not slowing down, having just opened a new store in MacArthur Park in Irving. Shop charms, statement rings, and a wide selection of keepsake collections (such as the fun collab with Whataburger, another iconic Texas brand.) Fans love the selection of women’s and men's jewelry crafted from 14K and 18K gold, sterling silver, bronze, and a variety of gemstones.

Kendra Scott
Texas-based Kendra Scott is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2022 with an exclusive new collection and more. Their first men's watches were also recently introduced as part of the Scott Bros. by Kendra Scott men's line. From modern to takes on timeless time pieces, the watches are made with fine materials such as stainless steel and leather, and are priced starting at $110.

La Vie Style House x Over the Moon
A one-size-fits-all bridal collection? If anyone can pull this off, it's Dallas-based La Vie Style House. This inaugural collection features 21 pieces and is carried exclusively at online wedding destination Over the Moon. The line has looks for brides, bridesmaids, mother of the bide, and even stylish guest looks. Prices range from $600 to $3,000.

Mashburn
After the oh-so-sophisticated couple Sid and Ann Mashburn established themselves in Dallas over the last seven years, the couple now welcomes shoppers to their new 4,200-square-foot store at 4615 Cole Ave. The Sid Mashburn side features an open-air tailor shop and a dedicated made-to-measure area, while the Ann Mashburn side features a dedicated shoe and accessories parlor. Both sides continue to carry the collections that Dallas faithful have grown to know and love from the boutique.

Scanlan Theodore
This iconic women’s brand, founded in 1987, is now open at NorthPark Center on level one, between Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. The first-in-Texas boutique features ready-to-wear, as well as accessories including bags, eyewear, shoes, belts, jewelry, and scarves. In a world where fashion sometimes seems abstract, the Scanlan Theodore woman stands out as a modern classic.

Stitch Golf
New at Inwood Village (5560 W. Lovers Ln. #245), Stitch Golf's first Dallas store is a destination for golfers and those who love them. It's filled with high-performance apparel, travel bags, and of course, golf gear. The vintage motorsports-inspired golf brand has a cool backstory, too: Their CEO actually met the founder when he coached his high school golf team in 1991 – they reconnected later, and Stitch Golf was officially founded in 2012.

Vuori
Have you found yourself in Dallas with a West Coast vibe? Meet this new, feel-good, technical clothing company at NorthPark Center on level one between Nordstrom and Macy’s. If you’re an active person who digs conscious brands putting out cool clothes, you'll love their shorts, tops, sweatshirts, joggers, and more.

Department store news

Neiman Marcus owner files bankruptcy, leaving Dallas stores' fate unclear

Neiman Marcus

The fate of the Neiman Marcus flagship in downtown Dallas is up in the air.

The fate of stores operated by Saks Global, parent company of the Dallas-based Neiman Marcus luxury retail chain, is up in the air following its bankruptcy filing on January 13 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston.

For the time being, all of the roughly 160 stores under the Saks Global umbrella, including Neiman Marcus’ 36 locations, will remain open. Seven of Neiman Marcus’ stores are in Texas, including four in Dallas-Fort Worth.

The more than $2 billion in debt that Saks Global amassed to acquire Neiman Marcus in 2024 helped push the company into bankruptcy court. According to The Wall Street Journal, Saks Global is the highest-profile department store chain to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy since the pandemic.

As part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, announced in a news release January 14, Saks Global has secured about $1.75 billion in financing to keep the company afloat and its stores open. A bankruptcy judge must approve the financing package.

In announcing the bankruptcy, Saks Global says it’s evaluating its store lineup “to invest resources where it has the greatest long-term potential. This approach reflects an effort to focus the business in areas where [our] luxury retail brands are best positioned for sustainable growth.”

Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows a business to reorganize its finances and operations. For retailers, the process can include cost-cutting moves such as closing poorly performing stores.

Effectively immediately, Geoffroy van Raemdonck has taken over the CEO role at Saks Global — following the recent departures of CEO Marc Metrick and his short-time successor, Richard Baker. Van Raemdonck, who relocated in 2023 from Dallas to New York City, was CEO of Neiman Marcus before Saks Global bought it in 2024 for $2.7 billion.

“This is a defining moment for Saks Global, and the path ahead presents a meaningful opportunity to strengthen the foundation of our business and position it for the future,” van Raemdonck says in a press release. “I look forward to serving as CEO and continuing to transform the [company] so that Saks Global continues to play a central role in shaping the future of luxury retail.”

The most notable DFW location of Neiman Marcus is the chain’s 129,000-square-foot flagship store in downtown Dallas, which the retailer owns.

Saks Global said last February that it would close the iconic store, which debuted in 1914, on March 31, 2025. But days before the scheduled closure, Saks reversed course and decided to keep the store open — at least temporarily rescuing two of the flagship’s signature features, the upscale Zodiac Room restaurant and the elegant Bridal Salon.

Here’s a list of Neiman Marcus’ seven locations in Texas:

Flagship store in downtown Dallas.
NorthPark Center in North Dallas (slated to undergo a $100 million renovation).
Shops at Clearfork in Southwest Fort Worth.
Shops at Willow Bend in Plano (scheduled to close in January 2027).
Galleria in Houston’s Uptown District.
Domain Northside in North Austin.
Shops at La Cantera in Northwest San Antonio.

The retailer’s lower-price sister, Neiman Marcus Last Call, closed most of its locations in 2020 and 2021, but five remain open. They include stores at Grapevine Mills in Dallas-Fort Worth and San Marcos Premium Outlets in the Austin metro area.

In Texas, high-end retailer Saks Fifth Avenue operates one traditional store at The Galleria in Houston and another at North Star Mall in North San Antonio, along with one appointment-only store at Fort Worth’s Bowie House and another at Austin’s Commodore Perry Estate. Across the country, Saks Fifth Avenue operates about 50 traditional and appointment-only stores.

Saks’ lower-price sister, Saks Off 5th, announced in November that it was shuttering nine locations, including its store at Gateway Shopping Center in Northwest Austin. The closures will bring the brand’s store count to 70.
