Back on the Racks: Closed

This month seems to be the month of lines returning to the store. I always think the smaller delivery windows are a great time to bring something back or try something new. We have gone back and forth with Closed denim for more than a bit. It was not a line folks asked for, but once we got it back, people loved it. Oddly, despite it being primarily a denim brand, what folks reacted to was everything else they sell. They loved the button-downs, sweaters, t-shirts, and pants, but not so much the denim. I will say the first item I ever bought from Closed was a denim “shacket” about six years ago, and I still love it. They had a similar utility shirt in this delivery, which made me think we have to try this again.

When we looked at the line last year, we decided to stick with what folks love. There is a great crewneck sweater that reminds me of the LL Bean sweater I lived in during the ’80s, and of course I had to get the pants with the athletic stripe. I think this was the last market that Annette went to with me, and she loved the waisted strap blouse with the tie in the back and the gathered shirt. She owned similar tops and said customers were always asking her about them. Then, of course, we can never have enough great t-shirt options. They are a great thick fabric, and we decided to try some different options with shapes to see what folks loved.

I hope you will come in and see our latest arrivals from Closed. We edited the selection to make sure we had the best of the best.

Owner | The Shoe Hive/The Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
