A Luxury Shopping Weekend in Dallas
Dallas is a serious shopping city, and a weekend here can be its own getaway. If you're coming to town — or showing a visitor the best of it — here's a designer's itinerary that puts a private styling appointment at the center and builds a beautiful day around it.
Your anchor stop: the Sai Sankoh showroom in the Design District, from the label D Magazine named Best Resortwear 2024.

The Design District day
Spend the morning in the Dallas Design District — galleries, design showrooms and independent shops — then come in for a private styling appointment to shop the collection at your own pace. Break for a long lunch nearby. The neighborhood is walkable and made for wandering, so leave room to discover.

Round out the weekend
Dallas pairs the Design District with other strong stops — Highland Park Village and NorthPark for more shopping, the Arts District for museums and the symphony, and a dinner reservation worth dressing for. Book your styling appointment early in the trip so you have something new to wear to the rest of it.

Where to eat between stops
Build the day around good tables. In the Design District, Town Hearth and Carbone are the marquee dinners; in Highland Park Village, Bistro 31 and Honor Bar handle lunch and a glass of wine between boutiques. For where to stay, Virgin Hotels Dallas sits in the Design District, Hôtel Swexan is minutes away in Harwood, and the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek is the grande dame near Highland Park. Anchor the trip with a private styling appointment and build the rest of the weekend around it.

How to pace the weekend
Book your styling appointment for the first morning, not the last — that way anything new comes home in time to wear to the dinners and events that fill the rest of the trip. Leave the afternoons loose for the Design District's galleries and a long lunch; the neighborhood rewards wandering.
If you're visiting from out of town, base yourself near the action: the Design District and Uptown put you minutes from shopping, dining and the Arts District, so you spend the weekend enjoying the city rather than driving across it.
