Where to shop in Dallas: 10 brand new stores to check out in February
A new store for K-POP fans has opened in Deep Ellum.
This February edition of Where to Shop, CultureMap's column of fashion, alternative finds, and new stores, comes right on time for the lovers' holiday. Whether it's some good scents from aromatherapy or a place to send your dog while you're away, this roundup strays a little from the usual.
Here's where to shop in Dallas right now:
BluPrint
New clothing store in Deep Ellum sells luxury streetwear, vintage tees, and brands like Carhartt and Guapi. There's also a selection of sneakers and independent brands. It's mostly a men's store although the door's open for women if they like baggy streetwear. It's at 2623 Commerce St. — the former Securitex locksmith shop which sadly had been in Deep Ellum forever.
Hästens Beds
Swedish brand claiming to make the most exclusive beds in the world is hosting a pop-up at Neiman Marcus at NorthPark. Definitely most expensive, with prices starting at $25,000. The pop-up will offer beds, duvets, pillows, and linens, and more. They also offer personalized bed fittings and consultations. The pop up lasts through February 16.
Kpop Nara Dallas
Store for K-POP fans just opened in Deep Ellum at 2646 Main St. They sell all the things a fan could dream of from trading cards to keychains to apple-shaped light sticks. Not only are they stocked with merch, they've also created a "fan-space" where they host meet-and-greet and decoration events.
Kick Pleat
New women's boutique has opened on 4710 W. Lovers Ln., west of Inwood Road where it's offering a selection of slouchy, casual-chic clothes, shoes, accessories, hats, sunglasses, and wallets from designers such as Extreme Cashmere, Gauchere, Issey Miyake, Lemaire, Marla Aaron, Marsell, Sofie D'Hoore, and Zero + Maria Cornejo. This is the third location; the original debuted in Austin in 2003 and a second opened in Houston in 2016. The Dallas store will also be a permanent home to a jewelry shop-in-shop by Marla Aaron Jewelry from New York who has created an exclusive Texas Lock, embossed with Bluebonnets, only available at the Dallas Kick Pleat store.
Neom Wellbeing
Fragrance and skincare line from the U.K. has debuted at Ulta stores. Neom seels aromatherapy products made from essential oils from founder Nicola Elliott's kitchen. The lineup features candles, diffusers, bath & body, and skincare products, with prices ranging from $42 for a luxury candle to $60 for a sleep collection featuring sleep mist, magnesium body butter, bath foam, and candle.
Parker Paschall Designs
Upscale flower shop has opened at 6465 E Mockingbird Ln. #318 in the Hillside Village shopping center in Lakewood.

They also deliver across Dallas at a flat rate of $30.
Rivian
Electric car manufacturer has opened a new retail space at 3010 Knox St. This is the brand's second location in Texas, following Austin, and 20th location in North America. Their spaces are a place for current and potential customers to get up close with their vehicles, software, and accessories, learn more about the Rivian brand, and take a vehicle for a spin. They're big on hosting events such as pop-ups at museums.
Waxxed
New shop in Deep Ellum sells collectible and tradable sports cards. They're big on seasonal, limited-edition releases -- not just sports figures but pop culture items like Pokemon. Their selling point is their savvy staff, ready to chat you up about sports or cards, whatever you like.
