The stretch of Lovers Lane just east of the Dallas
North Tollway is a hot spot for Dallas' savviest shoppers.
Start at Elements, a Dallas institution for looks from
lesser-known designers from L.A. and Europe like Mara
Hoffman, M Missoni, McQ by Alexander McQueen and
Marchesa Voyage. Next door, Elle—Elements’ sister
store—stocks more affordable, trend-driven styles from
brands like T-Bags and Rachel Pally. Just a few doors down,
Adeline specializes in styles for the fashionista on a budget.
Private boutique labels abound at unbelievable prices.
Shoppers in the know shop the Dallas Design District
when their spaces need an update. Once considered off-limits to
the public, many of the Design District’s long-time to-the-tradeonly showrooms and shops are now open to everyone.
Just south of the Design District sits a cluster of shops on
Riverfront Boulevard that are an antique lover’s dream.
Family-owned Uncommon Market is a Dallas must-see that’s
home to 44,000 square feet of antique finds from around the
globe. A variety of vendors fill White Elephant Antique
Warehouse’s 23,000 square foot interior with everything from
turquoise foo dog lamps to symphony harps. Lost...Antiques and
Found...Antiques are a pair of family-owned stores whose
inventories differ. At Lost, expect a selection of finds ranging from
the 1880s to the 1970s, that includes a vintage motorcycle shop.
Found is a smaller space, where vintage and antique furniture
mingle inside, while architectural finds line the backyard.
