The Shoe Hive: Celebrating 20 Years

If you’ve been reading Alexandria Stylebook or are on our store’s email list, you know all about the events this week. But we haven’t talked about the biggest event of the week: the sale. That’s right, starting Thursday, October 12 everything at all three stores is 20 percent off in honor of our 20 years of business – everything! It’s a way for us to thank our loyal customers for shopping with us for over two decades.

When I type that sentence I can’t believe it is real. Two decades seems like a long time! We’ve had two recessions, a real estate crash, a pandemic, and way too many government shut-downs. But thanks to you, we have been able to grow and expand steadily over that time.

Our goal when we started–and it remains– is to go out and find the styles that are well-designed, well-made, and carry you from work to your life outside of work with grace and ease. We hope we are still succeeding at that, and that you also are ready to celebrate being part of our fashion community.

Usually we only have a store-wide sale for the early hours of Black Friday and that’s the only time when the entire store is on sale. But in honor of the anniversary, we’re adding one more opportunity. Sunglasses, fine jewelry and all the things that never go on sale are 20 percent off, but just for a few days.

If you can’t make it in or don’t live in town, don’t worry, the sale is honored online as well. The discount will be taken off when you check out. Of course, we hope you will come see us. Not only is there great shopping there are so many fun events, starting Thursday. We have Hart custom jewelry at The Shoe Hive Thursday and Friday, the flower market from Helen Olivia on Friday afternoon, and a new customer favorite, Ranger Stitch, at The Hive on Friday and Saturday. How can I forget - we also have our Citizens of Humanity Trunk show all weekend as well. There is so much going on it is hard to keep track!

So thank you for 20 great years of your confidence and your loyalty, and we hope to see you soon.

Owner | The Hive and The Shoe 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.
