Fashionable, Trendy and Community Champion: District on Main

The District on Main in Claremore features a stylish selection of fashionable clothing and accessory brands, handbags and home goods – with a very interesting beginning. This fabulous boutique features over 170 of the most coveted brands including Gorjana, Kendra Scott, Brighton, Dear John, Sanctuary, Tribal, Dylan, Z Supply, Liverpool and Brumate.

“First and foremost, The District (on Main) is a women’s clothing, jewelry and gift store” said Cari Bohannan, owner, The District on Main. “We are your one stop shop in Claremore for a woman’s clothing needs for every day or special occasions.”

Bohannan’s path to owning a boutique began nearly decade ago, also in downtown Claremore.

The business has evolved through the years. “We originally started across the street with a partner, with paint, and painted furniture in a booth at Sailors (Antiques),” she said. “Then, we changed brands of paint and it required our own storefront, which led us to opening our own shop – and here we are.”

Now a fashion-forward boutique, The District on Main offers affordable chic, trendy and popular clothing. Styles are appropriate selections for women of all ages. As well as a distinctive selection of jewelry and accessories, handbags, bath and body items, and gifts for just about everyone on your giving list.

“We have an eclectic atmosphere here – in one way, it’s like walking back into history because this is a historic building, and many elements of its past are still here, especially the walls, but it’s also very fun and relaxed, but with a large assortment of brand-name items people won’t find anywhere else but here. I like to describe us as having ‘big city fashion with small town charm.’”

“We have several out-of-town customers, many of whom order online, but the community has been a big supporter of us, for which we’re very grateful,” she said. “As the last couple of years have made some people reluctant to shop in person, we’re fortunate that they’ve stepped up and shopped with us online or ordered and taken advantage of our curbside pickup.”

Bohannan said supporting local businesses such as her own isn’t just good for the customer, it’s good for the community, as so many local business owners are community members and partners themselves, who then return the support in other businesses, civic groups, clubs and organizations.

“People who support us, who support local businesses are indirectly supporting their community,” she said. “It means so much to us as small-business owners.”

Several specials will be offered throughout the Christmas and holiday season.

The District on Main is located at 406 W. Will Rogers Boulevard.
