So far, Chloe Dao is my favorite fashion designer in Houston. Although familiar with the brand for years, I became more acquainted with the brand's sophisticated style and offerings while visiting the old location on Kirby in the West Village during the height of the pandemic. Some of the designs are minimal and some are more complex and elaborate (borderline maximalist). I love purses and tote bags, so the Silver Geo Tote Bag (the one pictured) really appealed to me because it doubles as both a purse and tote. The silver tint, combined with the futuristic shapes (squares, circles, rectangles) made for a unique, timeless look. While shopping at the old Kirby location, I would also occasionally purchase face masks. Dao's designs, as usual, were just incredible.
Regarding the boutique, what I really love is the idea that this boutique could exist anywhere - New York, California, Chicago or Houston. Hopefully the new location on Shepherd captures the same excellence and good vibes of the old West University location. I always found service at the boutique to be really good and helpful. And value-wise, pricing is legit and reasonable in my experience. For me, this is one of the top boutiques, not only in Houston, but the country.
