From the days of its founding, when Colonial captains brought home exotic bounty to share and sell, Alexandria has offered a world-class shopping experience.
Old Town is known as one of Alexandria's unique shopping destinations. Over the past few years, an informal boutique district has emerged just south of King Street on Fairfax, Royal, Pitt and St. Asaph streets.
Charming old homes that line cobblestone sidewalks have been transformed into shops offering the latest designer wear. Many boutiques showcase up-and-coming designers.
Hysteria proudly offers fashions designed by Trina Turk, Tory Burch, Shoshanna, Nanette Lepore, Vince, Mint and Citizens of Humanity, while Bella offers sportswear names like Tribal, & Trousers, Mycra-Pak and Blue Ice along with plenty of accessories.
The Shoe Hive draws shoe lovers like bees to honey. With names like Bettye Muller, Hollywould, Michael Kors, and Sigerson Morrison, this boutique has something for everyone. Tickled Pink is preppy central, with a huge selection of Lilly Pulitzer Collection.
Other boutiques prove a bargain hunter's dream. Diva, a consignment boutique that sells only designer labels, has pieces by designers like Prada and Marc Jacobs. Treat, is Old Town's only sample-sale boutique, with top designer labels at bargain prices. These two shops in particular boast an ever-changing selection-so if you're staying nearby, check in often!
For a European twist on your shopping experience, stop by American in Paris, on the west side of Washington Street. A stylish Parisian owns this Alexandria original, offering fun and flirty dresses typically not found in the capital area.
