    WHERE TO SHOP

    Where to shop in Houston right now: 9 must-hit spots for October

    Julia Davila
    Oct 7, 2020 | 10:36 am

    Houstonians are enjoying the October weather, which offers a glimpse of cooler evenings mixed with sunny, 80-degree days. With that, as locals venture out, safety is key. This month, look to new face masks offering stylish ways to cover up, plus retailers benefiting breast cancer awareness month.

     

    Look fab, stay safe, and hit these spots — here’s where to shop right now.

     

     Accel Lifestyle
    Known for its anti-stink fabric, the athletic wear brand quickly pivoted to producing face masks when the novel coronavirus hit. This week, they launched three new graphic face masks for men, women, and children. Sold individually or in packs of five, the Rock & Roll, Cat, and Mustache masks are available in white or black.

     

    Additionally, Accel Lifestyle collaborated with the travel and lifestyle blog It’s Not Hou It’s Me to launch their new HOU face mask. Natalie Harms, (editor of our sister site, InnovationMap), and her blog partner in crime, Anastasia Hansen, designed this mask using water-based ink. “We picked this dynamic duo because their Texas pride runs as deep as the queso runs thick,” Amanda Cotler, Accel Lifestyle’s director of operations tells CultureMap.

     

     Alantude
    The Project Runway Season 18 alum has created a line of face masks exclusively for the Houston Museum of Natural Science. These fashion masks, inspired by the exhibits, are available for purchase in the museum’s gift shop or online, at museumstore.hmns.org.

     

     Boomer Naturals
    Celebrate Halloween safely with spooky masks from Boomer Naturals. Available in a range of sizes, from small to extra-large, these comfortable masks cover your nose and mouth with three layers. They are made from cotton and a polyester blend and infused with nano-silver fibers, which, says the company, provides extra protection. (Pro tip: Enter CULTUREMAP for a discount.)

     

     Christina Greene
    In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, local jewelry designer Christina Greene McAllen launched two of her signature styles in rose quartz. During the month of October, 20 percent of sales from the Delicate Necklace and Cable bangle in Rose Quartz will benefit Susan G. Komen Houston.

     

     DYI
    The woman-owned and operated sport + streetwear apparel brand is going pink. Shop the DYI Goes Pink Collection during the entire month of October and a portion of the proceeds will benefit The Rose Houston whose mission is saving lives through quality breast health services, advocacy, and access to care for all.

     

     Holiday Shopping Card
    VICTORY, a volunteer brand of the American Cancer Society, is hosting an online auction to help those battling the disease. The online auction, which begins Thursday, October 15 at 12 pm and ends Sunday, October 18 at 12 pm, kicks off the annual Holiday Shopping Card. Over the past 23 years, the women of VICTORY have raised more than $17.2 million through the sale of the Holiday Shopping Card.

     

    From October 22 to November 1, Houstonians who purchase a Holiday Shopping Card will receive 20 percent off at more than 475 local retailers, including Zadok Jewelers, Tootsies, Elizabeth Anthony, and restaurants, such as Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse and Carrabba’s - The Original on Kirby. Houstonians can purchase the $75 Holiday Shopping Card today with 100 percent of sales benefiting the American Cancer Society.

     

     leMel
    Shop the timeless jewelry brand’s Pink Collection all month long and leMel will donate 10 percent from all proceeds to Bright Pink, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women.

     

     Tecovas
    The Austin-based cowboy boot and leather accessories brand is opening its second Houston-area store on Friday, October 9. Located in The Woodlands at 9595 Six Pines Dr., space 550, this marks the brand’s tenth retail location, and fifth of 2020. The brand opened its first Houston outpost in Rice Village last November. Expect to shop boots, bags, apparel, and accessories. Additionally, shoppers can personalize their purchases through complimentary custom leather debossing and refresh past purchases through complimentary boot shines.

     

     Tenenbaum Jewelers
    Throughout the month of October, the antique and estate jewelry store will donate 10 percent of all L.Klein purchases to the Memorial Hermann Foundation. The foundation benefits early detection and outreach programs at the largest health system in southeast Texas, including the Bobetta C. Lindig Breast Care Center at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center.

    Exclusively for HMNS, Alantude's masks are inspired by the exhibits.

    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."
