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

Gucci at NorthPark Center is now open.

Gucci

We're back from summer with pop-ups on our mind including one in from California and another coming from Miami in late September. That's not the only shopping news in Dallas: A major Italian name has debuted a new Dallas location at NorthPark Center. There's also a new Dallas-based online-only site dedicated to children's clothes and a one stop shop for all of your Ryder Cup needs.

How's that for a well-rounded September shopping list? Enjoy!

Anyon Atelier
San Francisco-based home boutique has opened what is only its second location right here in Dallas, in a storefront off Henderson Avenue across from Fireside Pies at 5238 Milam St. The boutique features minimalist furniture, lighting, accessories, and artwork, and comes with an outdoor courtyard that makes for a great place to visualize how the pieces would perfect various spaces in your home.

Bea Collete
Call this a mother on a mission — a fashionable one at that. Dallas-based founder Meghan Guffey launched this online-only site offering a collection of posh children's clothing from European brands, featuring names from Denmark, France, Switzerland, and Italy. There are faded florals from Birinit and Petit Lucette, and darling cotton rompers from Artesanía Granlei, with some exclusives found only on the site.

Béis
Trendy California-based luggage brand founded by actress Shay Mitchell has previously been available online only or at select Nordstrom locations. But through September 28, the brand is selling its pastel, hard-shell suitcases on wheels and slouchy carry-ons in person at a month-long pop-up called "Beis Hotel" in the West Village, at 3699 McKinney Ave. #103B (the former LF Stores space next to Kendra Scott), open 11 am-7 pm daily.

Gucci
The latest iteration of Gucci at NorthPark Center has debuted on level one, between Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, replacing the previous storefront, which closed the day before the new store opened on August 25. Under construction for more than a year, the new store spans more than 12,000 feet, and features clothes, shoes, handbags, luggage, jewelry, watches, and a kids collection. It's the largest of six locations in Texas (including Fort Worth which opened in 2022) and one of Gucci’s 10 largest in the U.S.

Mango
Fashion brand from Barcelona began its U.S. expansion in 2022 with the opening of flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York, and has since opened stores in New York, New Jersey, Florida - and now Galleria Dallas, where it opened a boutique on level one. It's a go-to spot for stylish but affordable pieces for men, women, and children, from work professional clothes that won't break the bank to a glorious going out get up.

PGA Shop Frisco
Did you know that the PGA Shop in Frisco's PGA District is one of the only places in the country to score 2023 Ryder Cup Gear? We learn something new every day. Stack up on hats, polos by Polo, Peter Millar, and Foot Joy, cups, and other swag and look fashionable on and off the golf course while cheering on and supporting the USA as they head to Rome to compete in this year's Ryder Cup.

Thrift Studio
After years of popping up at warehouses or temporary spaces, this fund-raising pop-up shop now has its own space in the Design District at 1833 E. Levee St., where it will continue its mission to fund the Dwell with Dignity charity by selling donated furniture, housewares, accessories, and high-end designer finds. The space will be used for various events — but for now, it's time to shop, with a pop-up that runs through October 7, Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10 am-5 pm.

Webster x Rosewood Pop-Up at Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek
Miami-based luxury retailer The Webster has 10 locations across the U.S. including Houston — but no storefront in Dallas. In late September, they'll make that right when they host this pop-up in Dallas from September 27–30 at one of Dallas' top hotels. The pop-up will preside from one of the Mansion's Estate Suites with a tailored selection of womenswear, menswear, accessories, beauty, and home goods.

Here's where Dallas clocks in among best U.S. cities for women in tech

Dallas ranks 32nd on a new list of the best big U.S. cities for women in tech.

North Texas is in the middle of the pack for women in tech, a new report says.

Dallas ranks No. 32 nationwide, sandwiched between Fort Worth (No. 26) and Arlington (No. 38) in SmartAsset's new report, "Best and Worst Cities for Women in Tech — 2026 Study."

The study compared the 50 biggest U.S. cities across four metrics:

Gender pay gap — women's median earnings as a percentage of men’s median earnings in tech
The share of all tech workers that are women
The overall concentration of employment for tech workers, defined as "tech workers as a share of the local workforce"
Women tech workers’ median earnings, adjusted for regional price parity

For the purpose of the study, tech workers are defined as "city residents employed in computer and mathematical occupations."

The study's findings show that nearly 6,500 tech workers in Dallas are women, or 25.5 percent of the total tech workforce in the city. Tech workers in general make up only 3.6 percent of the total Dallas workforce.

Women tech workers in Dallas have a sizeable gap to cross to receive equal pay compared to their male counterparts in the same industry, the study says. Women tech workers make more than $83,000 in median earnings after adjusting for regional price parity, which is about 88 percent of what male tech workers make, SmartAsset found.

There are only two U.S. cities where women in tech earn more than what their male counterparts: Miami and Memphis, Tennessee. Women tech workers in Miami make an adjusted $88,650 in median earnings, or 101.7 percent of what men in tech make. In Memphis, women make $84,718 in adjusted earnings, or 101.5 percent of what men in tech earn.

This is the profile for women tech workers in Fort Worth and Arlington:

Fort Worth:

Women tech workers: 4,622
Women tech workers, share of tech workforce: 28.7 percent
Women tech workers’ estimated median earnings (adjusted): $87,174
Women tech workers’ earnings as a share of men’s: 89.2 percent
Tech workforce concentration: 3.2 percent

Arlington:

Women tech workers: 2,110
Women tech workers, share of tech workforce: 29.9 percent
Women tech workers’ estimated median earnings (adjusted): $76,319
Women tech workers’ earnings as a share of men’s: 83.5 percent
Tech workforce concentration: 3.2 percent

The study asserted that women remain underrepresented in the nation's overall tech sector, despite making up nearly half of the total workforce. Only 22.6 percent of the country's tech labor force is made up of women, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

"Opportunities for women in tech can vary considerably by location, and these differences shape access to jobs, career advancement and earning potential," the report's author wrote. "In some places, women account for a larger share of tech workers, face narrower pay gaps and enjoy a stronger local labor market. In others, they may encounter a more challenging career environment."

The four other Texas cities that earned spots in the report are Austin (No. 6), Houston (No. 15), San Antonio (No. 42), and El Paso (No. 49).

The top 10 best U.S. cities for women in tech are:

No. 1 – San Jose, California
No. 2 – Seattle, Washington
No. 3 – San Francisco, California
No. 4 – Atlanta, Georgia
No. 5 – Baltimore, Maryland
No. 6 – Austin, Texas
No. 7 – Oakland, California
No. 8 – Portland, Oregon
No. 9 – Boston, Massachusetts
No. 10 – Minneapolis, Minnesota
