Where to Shop

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

The vibe for 2023 is being a well-rounded person. And what better way to illustrate that in our lives than in the places we shop and in the items that we buy. From luxe skincare to fancy dog food and even fancier golf gear, the list this month checks off pretty much every consumer’s box.

Abercrombie & Fitch
Yes, your teenage years are calling, and they wanted to ask you to give your clothes from that time another chance. This new and improved version of the iconic brand is opening in NorthPark Center on level one near Macy’s and invites you to shop for comfy clothes, denim, and that iconic fragrance that will serve up some serious nostalgia.

Custom Meats
Where does your meat come from? University Park residents Kate and Jeff Cutshall are challenging Dallasites to know that exact answer by embracing their new whole animal butchery on Lovers Lane. The shop offers meat, milk, eggs, and sauces — some of which are sourced from less than 100 miles away. The store even offers dog food for those who like to give their pets the best bowl of puppy chow on the block.

Dondolo
The Dondolo Love Collection 2023 was the obvious name for the spring collection from a brand that loves details and loves giving back. The outfits were created by designer and owner Catalina Gonzalez as pieces for kids to wear when celebrating beautiful moments in life whether that be a baby shower, baptism, Valentine’s Day, or birthday party.

LoveShack Fancy
Just in time for January resolutions comes the first fitness and active collection from the New York-based girly brand. Available at their Highland Park Village boutique, the line includes leggings, sports bras, bike shorts, tank tops, and flippy miniskirts, done in a stretchy polyester-spandex blend, with the sweet florals, pastel colors, and frilly touches that are LoveShack Fancy's trademark.

Kemo Sabe Pop Up
Aspen's not-so-best kept secret has pulled its roving trailer into the Fort Worth Stockyards for a pop-up, stocked with its signature Western goods including cowboy boots, hats belts, buckles, and jewelry. Whether you pick up a Stetson or Kemo Sabe's own Grit hat brand, you can count on the sales wranglers to personalize your purchase on the spot. The pop-up is at 128 E. Exchange Ave. #570 through January 22.

Maison Margiela
Dallasites go bananas for anything with Parisian roots, and that includes this fashionista name, now with its own dedicated boutique at NorthPark Center, on level one in between Neiman Marcus and Dillard’s in late November. Headed by iconoclastic designer John Galliano, Maison Margiela embraces a classic yet visionary style, both daring and ambiguous, from oversized shirts to smart little ankle boots.

Serena & Lily
Love Serena & Lily but can’t stomach the price tags? Had your eye on a particular piece while doing your weekly Knox District stroll? Run don’t walk to the store's floor model sale to score mega discounts on the products — beds, pillows, dressers, quilts, marble door-stoppers — that are as aesthetically pleasing as any other in the wide world of furniture. It runs through February 16; however, I wouldn’t wait as it's first come first serve and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.

Stitch Golf
Guys and gals who fancy golf gear and apparel are going to freak when they shop this new shop, now open in Inwood Village. The Dallas location is the first retail shop for Stitch, which was founded in North Carolina, and its branding is inspired by vintage cars. Shoppers can expect bags, high-end travel bags, stylish apparel, and duffer gear that make golfers go gaga.

Inwood Village is adding new tenants to its walkable shopping experience.

An always-evolving North Dallas shopping destination will welcome a half dozen new tenants. A fitness studio, home retailer, three boutiques, and a cozy East Coast-inspired restaurant will add to Inwood Village's lineup of shopping and dining experiences.

“As we welcome these new tenants, we’re expanding the variety of experiences available to our guests and reinforcing Inwood Village’s role as a vibrant hub for the surrounding community,” says Corinne Hoffman, vice president at L&B Realty Advisors, in a release.

The six newcomers (with provided descriptions) are:

Charlie’s
Vandelay Hospitality Group will debut Charlie's in the former Adelmo’s Ristorante space. In partnership with Bob Sambol (Bob’s Steak and Chophouse), Charlie’s is being designed to feel like a true neighborhood gathering place similar to the East Coast eateries the veteran restaurateur knew in his youth. True to the nostalgic vibe, the restaurant will not offer reservations online, but only the old-fashioned way, by phone.

Lake Pajamas
Founded in 2014 in Savannah, Georgia, Lake Pajamas has luxurious sleepwear, loungewear, and everyday essentials for the whole family in store. The brand offers soft fabrics and everything from classic pajama sets to cozy robes and matching family collections. Its November opening makes Lake a new destination for thoughtful gifts this gifting season.
LiftHer
LiftHer will offer strength training for women via personalized, small-group fitness sessions designed to build confidence and lasting results. The women-only studio combines professional coaching with progressive strength programming in an intimate setting. Members will have access to dedicated equipment, individualized guidance, and a like-minded community. Women new to lifting or looking to take training to the next level can get stronger through education, accountability, and a welcoming environment, representatives say.

Buru
Founded in 2013, Buru blends fashion and function in its stylish, comfy, versatile women’s clothing. Manufactured with busy women in mind, the brand’s colorful prints and elevated silhouettes result in pieces that transition from daily life to special occasions — statement dresses to polished wardrobe staples and everything in between. The line is designed to help women feel comfortable and effortlessly put together, they say.

Ball and Buck
Men’s clothing and accessories are the focus of Ball and Buck, an outdoor lifestyle brand founded in 2008 that merges American craftsmanship and sporting tradition, promotional materials say. Pieces embody rugged functionality and are designed to be worn hard, improve with age, and last generations. Ball and Buck adheres to a domestic manufacturing and quality-over-quantity philosophy.

Rejuvenation
Heritage‑inspired and quality-focused pieces are the soul of Rejuvenation, a Portland‑based home furnishings brand. Originally rooted in architectural salvage, the brand now designs and manufactures many of its lighting fixtures in the U.S., blending classic forms with enduring craftsmanship, a press release says. Its Inwood Village location will showcase lighting, hardware, furniture, handpicked vintage pieces, and textiles.
