The 5pm Post - Lamb Roast and 16th St Heights Fundraiser

Ginger Roots Opens up at 1530 U St, NW (Grand Opening Sept. 18th)

U Street’s newest retail spot was looking good last weekend. I chatted briefly with coowner Erin Derge who also works on their eco friendly sustainable design clothing line called Revamp (including tailoring). Ginger Roots showcases a few artists/retailers featuring clothing, photos, jewelry, custom designs and more. Their business card sums up the shop nicely – Tailoring, Eco-Design, Local Artisan Boutique. While they are currently open Sun. from 1-6pm and Mon, Thurs, Fri, and Sat. from 12-7pm they will be having a grand opening Sept. 18th. It’s great to see U Street get another cool retail option.

A few more photos after the jump.

    Kristen and Erin are awesome people and amazing seamstresses. Best of luck to them. Please support this store!

  • LJG

    Heck yes! I’ll definitely check out this store.

    Good luck. You will need it in this economy.

    Honestly though do they have enough items to sell to draw people in? Hard to say with those photos but if they are an indication they need more merchandise.

    • MtP

      Ditto. They do plan on stocking more stuff, right? Because I wouldn’t make a trip in based on what you’ve shown in the photos.

  • Too far for me

    Yes, it looks empty. But I will check out when I am in the neighborhhod.

  • Adeola Lawal

    All the best to Kristen and Erin. I know they will do exceptionally well in this economy or any. Im sad I missed the opening but I will be visiting their store very soon.
