Denim shop finds laid-back Austin vibe a good fit
A year after its debut, Domain Northside continues to land newto-Austin — and new-to-Texas — retailers.
The list is a long one and grows with each passing week.
One of those recent additions is Los Angeles-based Paige, 11700 Domain Blvd., which sells premium men’s and women’s denim.
Founder Paige Adams-Geller, a former model, launched her first collection in 2004. Today, she has eight flagship boutiques — including the new one here — and her jeans and accessories are sold by a number of high-end retailers coast to coast.
Adams-Geller talked to the American-Statesman about her growing brand and why she set her sights on Austin.
American-Statesman: Why did you choose Austin for your next market — and your first Texas market? Talk about your expansion and why this city is so important to your brand.
Paige Adams-Geller: Austin is laid-back, forward-thinking, cool and edgy, just like our brand. We love music, fashion, food, art and culture — and Austin embodies all of these things. We’ve had stores in New York and California for years and when we decided it was time to expand our retail footprint, Austin felt like the natural choice. This city aligns perfectly with the laid-back culture and effortless style of our brand. Austin feels like our home away from home.
Why did you choose Domain Northside?
We feel that Domain Northside is the wave of the future in terms of the shopping experience. I love that it has everything to offer — restaurants, gyms, shops, office spaces and living spaces. Domain Northside feels like a city within a city. I feel at home when I am there. Who is your target shopper?
