Dallas Retail Roundup: Boho Hat Shops, Custom Furniture Studios, Dorm Décor Pop-Ups, and More

Flea Style Opens An Offshoot Inside Fort Worth’s Hotel Dover

Last weekend, Wide Brim by Flea Style celebrated its grand opening inside the chic and Western-inspired Hotel Drover. The shop, which was designed by Flea Style founder Brittany Cobb, focuses on her love for hats, from felt Stetsons to cowboy hats. Many of them are adorned with pins, feathers, or other vintage details. In addition, the store stocks pretty patterned scarves, flowy tops and dresses, beaded necklaces, and plenty more. “The [Wide Brim by Flea Style name] conjures up our love for hats, but also has a western meets boho-resort vibe,” said Cobb on her blog, “which perfectly describes the gorgeous, eclectic hotel and Flea Style. Inside we’ll sell sundries (sweet and savory snacks and sips), apparel, coverups, bathing suits, jewelry, Texas-friendly trinkets, heirloom-quality local goods… and alllll the hats.” Check out Wide Brim by Flea Style at 200 Mule Alley Drive.

Dormify Pops Up in West Village

Dormify, an online curator for stylish student living setups, is popping up in West Village to help Dallas-area freshmen design their dream dorm rooms. Though it occupies a brick-and-mortar space, this pop-up isn’t a traditional shop; you won’t be walking out with bags of Twin XL sheets and decor. Instead, Dormify invites shoppers to meet with a consultant, design their space virtually, and have their items shipped directly to their dorms. Want to collaborate with your future roommate? Book a dual appointment or FaceTime them in. The Dormify pop-up is located at 3699 McKinney Avenue in Suite 405, right next to Sephora, and will run through August.
