Free People is Coming to Washington, D.C.’s M Street
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) August 12, 2015 -- Specialty clothing brand, Free People, will be opening its 110th boutique in the heart of Georgetown on August 21st, 2015. The brand’s covetable product assortment will be the perfect addition to D.C.’s premier shopping destination, set to live within a three story 4,770 square foot space right on M Street. Inside old world walls and a historic storefront, the brand will carry unique designs sure to become favorites for locals and tourists alike.
The new boutique will be designed in the brand’s ‘Black Smith’s Cottage’ concept. Highlighting the more rugged side of the Free People girl, a mix of rugged elements and feminine details help make the space feel like her personal workshop. Behind a traditional Georgetown red brick façade, guests will be welcomed into the three story boutique by a wooden black door. Organic materials, including wide plank reclaimed wood floors, as well as preserved original steel, brick, and concrete elements, are highlighted throughout the space. On the first level, a custom built in back wrap, including three points of sales, will be flanked by existing fireplace openings. An 'FP Collection' shoe shop will feature an overlook into the lower level, where additional apparel and sale items will be located. Customers can use a new custom wooden residential inspired staircase to make their way to the store’s lower level. Shoppers can take another newly installed staircase, constructed of wood treads and steel guardrails, to the boutique’s upper level. Featuring a breathtaking wood truss ceiling, the upper level will house lifestyle intimates and six fitting rooms featuring distinctive coin curtains.
“We’ve been looking forward to opening a Free People boutique in Georgetown for some time now,” says Beth Wehagen, Free People’s Director of Retail. “We are thrilled to finally be on M Street! This store will feature a wide-range of products that will be perfect for the area's customer including an amazing 'FP Collection' shoe assortment.”
At opening, Free People Georgetown will carry a wide assortment of dresses featuring unique silhouettes, prints, and textures ideal for outstanding summer days. An Indigo Shop will provide customers with head to toe indigo outfitting options through denim, chambray, and blue washes across all classes. Shoppers can look forward to a strong jeans assortment, including skinnies, flares, boyfriends, and one-pieces. To add pops of color, fun floral and ethnic print patterns will be mixed through the assortment of woven and knit tops, dresses, slips, and novelty jackets. In preparation for the season ahead, the location will feature a strong presence of sweater styles and textured bottoms for cozy head-to-toe looks. Merchandised on the top floor, customers can expect lifestyle intimates from the brand’s 'Intimately Free People' collection. Accessories will include skinny scarves, clean silhouette and leather bags, beanies, and statement jewelry, alongside a dedicated 'FP Collection' shoe shop.
The new store will have a celebration on opening day, Friday, August 21st, from 6-8pm. The first 50 customers to arrive will receive a tote bag giveaway, light refreshments will be served, and store stylists will be on hand to give in-store styling sessions.
