THE REAL GAME CHANGER FOR AVALON!
Sundance is a new store for women located in the newest addition of Avalon. It has a beautiful aesthetic with great decor and lighting. My husband immediately found his "husband chair" and waited patiently for me to explore the space. All items were carefully staged with purpose in a generous space, (no crowded racks or inaccessible items).
This store has been open for approximately three weeks and it is a game changer. It is truly Avalon worthy because it is a different type of store. It is that store that has unique pieces, quality materials and fabrics and great colors. I love it! When shopping, I don't need a haul, I just need one really great piece that I love. It can be a bag, a great pair of shoes, a piece of jewelry or clothing. This is a great place to find that something special.
Sundance carries a little bit of everything: special occasion dresses, casual wear, great sweaters in wool and cotton, boots, shoes, leather bags, sterling silver accessories, hats, gloves and even some home decor items. There is a lot to see but it was a bit difficult to get the full lay of the land because the store was very busy today during Avalon's Christmas event.
For me this is my "downtown" store. As a child, I loved to go downtown to the dress shops early on Saturday morning. The women were always impeccably dressed and the customer service was unmatched. They would always service you at you dressing room, delivering options so that you never had to leave your room. Once you found your perfect outfit, you could then accessorize because they also carried hats, gloves and jewelry. Everything you purchased was wrapped like a gift and I always loved carrying the boxes.
I didn't get to purchase anything today because it was just too busy for me. When shopping in these types of stores, I like to do so on off hours when I can have the place to myself and really experience it all. Also, I am a label reader and I love to check out the various materials and details of garments and accessories. I really appreciated the fact that when I picked up a bag, it was a leather bag of unquestioned quality. Unfortunately, I just needed basic black which they didn't have and that's okay, because they are so NOT basic!
I will definitely be back to see more of Sundance because although it was very busy, the women made me feel welcomed and took time to engage in conversation. When you are in the store, don't forget to take time to register for their mailing list so that you can receive updates and discounts.
