What: A 2,420 square-foot Dallas, TX luxury boutique (with e-commerce) offering a curation of pieces across ready-to-wear, accessories, fine jewelry, beauty and home. Its ongoing pop-up concept also serves as launchpad for emerging brands.
Founder: Elisa Summers; led by Chief Creative Officer Keenan Walker
Origin Story: Founded in 2015 by Elisa Summers in Dallas’s Highland Park Village, Market began with a vision to reimagine the boutique experience. What started as a curated selection of designers transformed in 2019 when Chief Creative Officer Keenan Walker introduced the Pop-Up Concept. Beginning with a three-week residency for New York brand La Ligne, this innovation quickly became Market’s signature offering. The immersive brand spaces within its walls are now coveted opportunities for designers seeking to connect with the affluent Southern luxury market before committing to permanent locations.
Market functions as a fashion incubator through its store-within-a-store pop-up concept, creating continual discovery for customers. This approach makes it a “key gatekeeper for designers seeking sophisticated American consumers beyond coastal markets.” Its permanent collection complements rotating brand experiences, serving diverse styles while maintaining a distinctive point of view.

Market also attracts fashion-forward visitors from across the country and internationally who seek its unique mix of established and emerging designers unavailable elsewhere in the region.
In stock: Women’s apparel, shoes, handbags and other accessories from designers like Staud, Marni, Proenza Schouler, JW Anderson, Toteme, Ganni and Altuzarra.
Special Services: Market’s Pop-Up Concept program offers brands a valuable testing ground in the Texas market before committing to permanent locations. Partnerships can include exclusive launch events, designer appearances and trunk shows that create memorable experiences.
