Final year husband-and-wife business partners Ed and Gable Shaikh moved their Hadleigh's Bespoke clothing boutique out of the poolside cabana of their Kessler Park residence and into a private upstairs atelier at Highland Park Village, among the most prestigious purchasing centers in Dallas. Now they are expanding once again with all the opening of a street-level shop below the atelier named Hadleigh's Bespoke Ground Floor. The new 600-square-foot shop, which opened September 8, presents several of its customizable signature collections, which includes velvet slippers, navy roadster blazers, cashmere knitwear and scarves, and for additional service and privacy, buyers can schedule an appointment at the upstairs atelier.
With its cobalt blue walls and flannel seating, "the upstairs will remain much more like a private lounge where you can have your lunch as well as a glass of Champagne while you shop, although the downstairs is going to be a a lot more modern day retail setting," says Ed Shaikh, noting how the new store, timed to open with this year's 85th anniversary of Highland Park Village, is outfitted with Carrara marble walls, circa-1950s Marco Zanuso chairs, Ulrich benches, along with a enormous Barovier Murano glass light fixture Shaikh refers to as "the vicu?a jacket of chandeliers."
"The concept is for the new store to serve as a kind of stepping-stone to the atelier," says Shaikh, who hopes to whet clients' sartorial appetites with stock objects for example Cesare Attolini formal jackets, Tardini leather goods, Barker Black English-made footwear, BRM timepieces, and Cutler and Gross eyewear. The store's private concierge will encourage clients who want a far more personalized purchasing experience to sample the bespoke atelier upstairs.
