Assouline
Acclaimed French book publisher Assouline has opened a boutique in the River Oaks District this spring, its first in Texas and the Southwest. The luxury brand, whose new shop evokes a sophisticated library, features curated collections of elegant coffee table books on culture, architecture, travel, design, and gastronomy (a.k.a. food).
“Houstonians have a love for art and design, so I am confident that our community will be drawn to the boutique’s vast array of creatively-designed books and eclectic aesthetic,” said John Pearson, River Oaks District’s marketing director, in a statement. “Assouline is an important addition to our diverse collection of retailers and experiences that we are continually evolving to create a unique shopping and lifestyle destination.”
Casper
We all need eight hours of sleep each night, and so you might as well be comfortable. Celebrated mattress maker Casper opened another Houston-area sleep shop on Friday, April 9, in The Woodlands. Walk into the shop (1201 Lake Woodlands Dr, Ste. 1135, The Woodlands) and test the pillows, bedding, dog beds, and furniture. You can even schedule a nap trial ahead of time.
