This edition of Where to Shop, our regular roundup of new stores and shopping experiences around Fort Worth, has everything from a high-end designer name to a sweet resale shop with bargain prices, with cute independently-owned boutiques in between.
With social season in the wings, it's never too soon to think about acquiring that perfect party dress.
Here are 6 new shopping spots in Fort Worth:
Boss
Global fashion brand offering high-quality women's and men's apparel, shoes, and accessories just opened a location in The Shops at Clearfork, next to Tiffany & Co. It used to be Hugo Boss, named for its German founder, but in 2022, the company split into two labels: Boss and Hugo. Boss is the core brand, producing classic pieces that reflect the Hugo Boss heritage, while Hugo focuses on producing fashions and accessories for a younger demographic. There is currently only one other Boss store in the DFW area at NorthPark Center in Dallas, plus two outlet stores in Allen and Grand Prairie.
Elle Maxine
Fort Worth women’s boutique is new to the bricks of the Camp Bowie district, located at 5109 Pershing Ave. Elle Maxine is from fun-loving friends Brittany Voxland, a Fort Worth native, and Samantha Drumm, a TCU graduate, who aim to create a shopping haven that reflects their love for fashion and commitment to exceptional down-to-earth customer service. Their goal is to become a destination for fashion-loving women seeking stylish, unique, and effortlessly wearable pieces that blend comfort and trends. Their merchandise includes casual yet stylish cargo pants, quilted jackets and colorful woven sweaters, and classic easy-to-wear tops in basic, flattering hues — but also colorful blouses (with the occasional ruffle) perfect for parties and versatile peasant-style dresses that can be paired equally well with sneakers or heels.
Flipstone Vintage & Thrift
Thrift store started out as an online furniture refinishing store from co-founder Dancing Heart Inglesias, who opened this brick-and-mortar location in a former Berry's Office Furniture at 2700 White Settlement Rd., where she and her sister Lily Mekeel are selling not only furniture — dressers, sofas, tables, chairs — but also gently used clothing, shoes, handbags, accessories, home decor items, kitchenware, decorative pieces, and vintage pieces and collectibles. They’re an Indigenous business, promoting Native American culture, as well as other small businesses. They welcome donations and keep their prices extra low: Clothing is priced at a flat rate, based on how long they've been on sale. New items are $10, while older items are $2-$4, and they do a $1 sale on Mondays.
Lucchese Bootmaker
Iconic Texas-made brand is the official boot of the Dallas Cowboys, and in honor of their partnership, Lucchese just dropped a dedicated Dallas Cowboys boot collection and the brand's first-ever children's boot, The Little Gina. The Lucchese x Dallas Cowboys collection will retail for between $545 and $995 for adult styles and is available for pre-sale online and on display at select Lucchese locations.
Seven Boutique
New resale opened in May at 4933 Camp Bowie Blvd., where it's featuring used clothes with high-end designer labels such as Gucci, Alice & Olivia, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs, Valentino, and Louis Vuitton — many, many Louis Vuitton handbags, you'd be silly to buy them elsewhere. They have lots of denim, lots of pretty dresses, and many sneakers, almost new or hardly worn, like the Stan Smith in a size 7 for $77. Owner Jeanice King is a longtime collector, and she accepts consignment items as well.
Y&I Clothing Boutique
What started as two high school friends with a shopping habit blossomed into this darling boutique chain with three DFW locations including this one which just opened in August at WestBend at 1621 River Run. (The two other locations are Dallas' West Village and Legacy in Plano.) The shop's name is a clever reference to the owners' names: They are both named Robin, but one is Robin with an i and the other is Robyn with a y. Their theme is quality clothing at affordable prices in a friendly atmosphere, featuring new trends in clothing, accessories, jewelry, and gifts every month. They definitely know how to court the locals, with a big selection of purple and black pieces, go TCU.
