What People Are Saying About Design Collective

In Short – Tea green walls, natural wood flooring, and floor-to-ceiling windows lend an organic aesthetic to this narrow, yet airy boutique. The well-curated merchandise represents owner Christina Nguyen's passion for good design and desire to develop the local fashion scene. The shop is popular with trendy urbanites looking for well-made, one-of-a-kind pieces, including decorative tailored jackets, gauzy bubble skirts, intricately beaded jewelry and purses of refurbished vintage menswear.

great local designers!
by heartcrawler
i just bought a dress at the design collective to wear to a friends wedding and i thought the place was fabulous! they had a large selection of local, well made, clothing and you can feel like when you find the perfect item, you dont have to worry about 100 people having the same one. the only downside is that the sizing isnt consistent, i'm a 2 in some 4/6 in others and i dont know how larger sizes fare.
- Pros: great local clothing
- Cons: sizing

Know Before You Go:
With only one of each item and no in-store alterations, it may take some needlework to get a garment to fit perfectly.
The Extras:
Although the majority of the merchandise is women's clothing up to size 10, there is also a wide selection of screen-printed men's tees.
