Brick by Brick

You’ve heard that old adage ‘the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence’? In the case of The District on Main, it is actually true.

You’ve heard that old adage ‘the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence’?  In the case of The District on Main, it is actually true.

The boutique recently moved across Main Street to their newly renovated digs in the historic downtown district of Claremore, Oklahoma and the results are stunning. Owner Cari Bohanan designed the space for hip juniors and stylish ladies looking for the latest in fashion, but left a piece of history in the store.

“When I bought the store, we uncovered a lot of interesting things in this building,” said Bohanan.  “But, I wanted to leave the brick exterior and advertisements painted on it as a unique reminder about how Main Street has changed over the years.”

The main brick wall features old paint advertising for long-past retailers Laderer-Davis Clothing Company and Owl Cigars. The giant owl watches over the back of the store and is surprising delight to all who come to shop.

Fun and funky displays fill the store with crowd favorites like Brighton, Kendra Scott, Frye footwear and handbags, Lauren James, Jadelynn Brooke, Tribal Sportwear, Free People, Ivy Jane, Lenny & Eva, Harley & Maudes and several made in Oklahoma brands.

Recently, The District added both new gifts from style icon, Kate Spade and Summer Ellis Jewelry which is worn by Joanna Gaines from “Fixer Upper”.

The District carries jeans, tops, dresses, shoes, boots, bags, jewelry and unique gifts items.  They are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. through 5:30 p.m.  On Thursday nights, the store is open after hours until 6:00 p.m.

You can shop online, but it won’t be as fun and refreshing as coming to their new store.  Don’t forget tell the owl in the corner hello.
