    WHERE TO SHOP

    Where to Shop in Houston right now: 10 must-hit spots for July

    Julia Davila
    Jul 7, 2022 | 9:36 am

    With summer in full swing, Houstonians are enjoying beachy vacations and escaping the three-digit temps with endless pool parties or trips to cooler spots.

     

    For the hottest looks this July, for home or travel, look to curated vintage from local experts, a new collection from Reagan Bregman’s athleisure line, a popular downtown mixer and market, and more.

     

     Diamonds Direct
    The worldwide leader in diamond sourcing and consumer education has partnered with Amy’s Ice Cream to offer an exclusive flavor, Diamonds in the Rough. To capture the sparkle of diamonds, the frozen treat features accented silver glitter, adding a new take on the classic Cookies and Cream. For every scoop of the custom flavor, Houstonians are entered to win a $250 gift card to Diamonds Direct. Winners will be pulled weekly. The flavor is available throughout July at 3816 Farnham St.

     

     Evergirl Vintage
    Some may know her as one of the co-founders of the Houston Vintage Market and Festival while others may know her for her knowledge and love of vintage. Stylist and owner of Evergirl Vintage Dawn Ohlsson Bell have teamed up with Omar Lisandro, a Houston-based globally published wardrobe stylist, to create a one-of-a-kind personal vintage department store experience each with their own wing to shop, per an Instagram post. Lisandro’s latest venture, Too Suit Yourself, promises to bring “a curated collection of vintage menswear for anyone who’s a lover of textile and bespoke garments.”

     

    Join Bell and Lisandro Saturday, July 16 from noon to 4 pm at 201 Roberts Street for the grand opening of their brick and mortar. Shop curated vintage from the 1930s-1990s while enjoying light bites and drinks.

     

     Exiza
    Reagan Bregman recently announced the launch of a new collection called Breaking Barriers. CultureMap editor Steven Devadanam sat down with the entrepreneur and mom-to-be to talk about the new hues — slate, olive, black, latte, and cappuccino foam — and why the pieces are meant to make women feel amazing. She also hints at a maternity collection in the future — and jokes about a potential collab with her husband Alex, the Houston Astros all star.
     
     Jia Loungewear
    Local eye doctor Katie Charrier is not alone in getting home from a long workday wanting to take her bra off. After becoming a stepmom to three kids, she struggled to find comfortable clothing or loungewear that provided enough coverage to be braless around the house. Enter Jia Loungewear, a line of cup covering, no elastic loungewear. Aimed at offering an alternative to the dreaded elastic shelf bra camisole, the invisible underlayer, called the JiaCup, drapes over the bust with soft foam cup inserts suspended in a layer of the top’s luxe jersey knit bamboo fabric.
     
     Léránt
    Summer entertaining is elevated at the Galleria-area luxury gift shop with new merchandise that is perfect for outdoor barbecues, pool parties, and summer entertaining. Shop items such as sun-resistant, waterproof, and easy-to-maintain tablecloths from Le Jacquard Francais; Casa Buggatti Kissing Tongs; and Mario Luca Giusti dinnerware in summer colorways.

     

     LoveShackFancy
    Just in time for summer, a New York City-based lifestyle brand has added a collection of sunglasses to its line of travel-inspired apparel. Shop six styles in multiple silhouettes including, heart-shaped, round, and oversized frames. With a look for every mood, this new assortment of sunglasses adds the perfect touch to any outfit coming in a range of pastel hues including posh pink, cool blue, and golden peach with floral trims and LoveShackFancy’s signature floral prints. The collection ranges from $165 to $225 and will be available at LoveShackFancy boutiques, including River Oaks District, and online.
     
     Sam & Davy
    Named after the Bayou City’s oldest area code, 713 Day is an unofficial day to celebrate all things Houston. Pop by Sam & Davy in River Oaks Shopping Center, 2043 West Gray St, for all your Houston and Texas apparel and accessories. After all, Houston really and truly is everything.

     

     Shaftel Diamonds
    The family-owned jewelry is prepping for 713 Day with Texas-shaped necklaces available in rose gold and white gold for $1,125. Additionally, Houstonians can support Houston-based charity by purchasing from the Sky High Collection, which features blue and orange jewelry, representative of Sky High’s colors but also perfect to support the Houston Astros. 20 percent of the sales from the collection will support Sky High’s mission of funding pediatric cancer research. Jewelry ranges from sapphire and diamond stud earrings in various sizes with prices starting at $835.
     
     The Brunch! Mixer + Market
    Downtown Houston’s popular mixer and vendor market is back at Pitch25 (2120 Walker Street) Sunday, July 31 from 1 to 6 pm. Expect to shop various local businesses with goods such as candles, accessories, bath and body products, and more.
     
    Founded in 2017 with only 10 vendors, The Brunch! now curates more than 30 local vendors and has expanded to Austin and College Station. The one-of-a-kind event merges brunch, music, shopping, fitness, and family-friendly fun for Houstonians.
     
     Zimmermann
    The iconic Australian luxury brand has opened its first location in Houston in the River Oaks District. The brand is continuing its North American retail expansion with Houston being their second store location in Texas and 16th in the country. Shoppers can expect a “physical embodiment of the brand’s relaxed femininity,” a release notes. Sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann founded their namesake brand in Sydney in 1991. Today, the brand is known globally for the aesthetic of sophisticated femininity, clever color combinations, and delicate original prints.

    TAILORED TRADITION

    Cult-favorite French denim brand Chevignon makes U.S. debut in Houston

    Chevignon’s Galleria boutique marks the brand’s first-ever store in the United States, launching its Texas-focused expansion plan.

    Heritage denim brand Chevignon has arrived in Houston, introducing its cult-loved leather jackets and customizable jeans to a new boutique in the Galleria. Known for its rugged style, the French-born label is expanding its presence in the U.S. with a store designed to appeal to loyal brand aficionados and fashion-forward newcomers. The outpost is complete with an in-store Denim & Repair Shop offering complimentary tailoring and one-of-a-kind customization.

    Located on the second level adjacent to the Westin Hotel, the new outpost is modeled after the brand's most successful stores in Bogotá and Medellín. At over 2,100 square feet, customers can expect a spacious and well-lit shopping experience. Light colored floors with handsome dark features lend themselves to the masculine energy of the store. The spacious fitting rooms, complete with lounge seating and oversized mirrors, make trying on the latest styles comfortable.

    The brand was founded in 1979 by Guy Azoulay, who was obsessed with American fashion, in particular the leather aviator jacket. With decades of success in Latin America and a massive following in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, Chevignon is widely known for its leather jackets, down coats, and denim.

    Comparable to Levi's or All Saints, a pair of jeans typically starts at around $130, while a leather jacket retails between $400 and $600. The brand offers denim, outerwear, footwear, and accessories with collections divided to focus 70 percent on menswear and the remaining 30 percent on women's styles.

    Chevignon's expansion into the U.S. was three years in the making. With broadening brand recognition at the forefront, expansion plans include opening 10 additional boutiques by 2030 in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth. These new stores will round out their portfolio to 102 brick-and-mortar stores, along with several partnerships in other large-format locations.

    "When it came time to think about locations in Texas, Houston came to mind. We thought about the Houston rodeo, and we knew the city was right for the brand," Chevignon brand manager, Diego Alvarez Salazar, tells CultureMap. "We wanted to be part of the place where people were moving to and investing in, and that was in Texas."

    One of the stand-out offerings at Chevignon is their Denim & Repair Shop. Customers who purchase denim are treated to complimentary, bespoke tailoring to ensure the best possible fit. The store also offers a wide selection of patches, pins, and accessories to completely customize leather and denim jackets, as well as jeans. While there is a cost for the accessories themselves, the complimentary customization services ensure a one-of-a-kind look for every customer.

    "I always tell people that my first 'grown-up' pair of jeans was from Chevignon," says Bogotá-native, Luisa Babarczy. "Their denim is something that lasts forever. Now that they are here in Houston, I am so happy to be able to buy my daughter her first Chevignon denim jacket."
