Redeem is a super cool little gem of a shop. It’s owner is a raven haired ultra chic lady named Lori Parkerson.
When you shop at a boutique, you should expect great service, knowledgeable employees and merchandise you can’t buy anywhere. Redeem fits all of those expectations like a glove. It’s the perfect storm of alternative and approachable. The difference between Redeem and every other boutique is all of the employees are personal stylists. If you need help putting your look together, it’s a matter of asking.
There is no over-priced, pretentious, design firms represented here. Design firms like Oak, a New York based brand with USA made product, are all over the shop. Lori brings in at least one new brand every season. When I asked Lori who her style icons were, she replied, “Jack White and Captain Jack Sparrow”.
In my talk with Lori, I asked what three things should every man have in his wardrobe. Her response was :
1. A black or brown shoe
2. A good pair of dark denim
3. An amazing fitted jacket or outerwear piece
Redeem is located in Washington, DC’s U street corridor. This area of the city is changing and transforming weekly and Redeem fits in perfectly. The price point will shock and amaze you (but in a good way!). There are great quality items at amazing prices. Also, they carry ladies apparel, beautiful accessories and other things that make for great gift giving. Let me just leave this last words from Lori for you to think about.

Rob – WOW These are really great phtoos. My favs are the first and the last with the city as a backgound. It’s such a dramatic setting being in Central Park with urban world surrounding you. Also like the second to the last with the yellow cab and bicycle in motion. The second shot is also great as it captures an genuine laugh between the two of you. Very niceJanuary 14, 2012 5:42 pm
