Neat Neighborhood Find: Dekka
29 April 2008 11:00 AM | By Prince Of Petworth in Neat Neighborhood Find, Neighborhoods - U Street, Retail
When I wrote about Dekka’s grand opening a few weeks ago it was too crowded to check out the store but I promised to return. And this past Saturday, I was able to check out all the goods and speak with two members of the designer’s collective. The idea behind Dekka, located at 1338 U Street, is very cool. It features a collective of designers who pay a “small reasonable fee” to display their goods. I spoke with two of the members, Marilani Huling (pictured above) and Sheri Green. Green and Huling explained to me that the store has 15 designers. The 15 designers include 2 handbag designers, 2 Jewelry designers (of which Huling is one), 7 clothing designers, 1 cosmetics (Green) and 3 artists. And the coolest part is that all the designers are local. So those who are interested in supporting local designers, check ‘em out! More photos after the jump.

It’s refreshing to see a kaleidoscope of designers come together in DC. I highly recommend the cosmetic products by Sheri Green!
