Once upon a time, to get the latest in women’s’ fashion, a girl had to travel to Tyson’s Corner, Washington D.C., or even New York. But now everything she needs to look chic can be found in Fredericksburg at Monkee’s.
This is a ladies store described as beyond your “girlie” imagination. The boutique features Kate Spade, Spanx, Lilly and Juicy Couture just to name a few. And featured this fall is the sophisticated American aesthetic style of Tory Burch with beautiful handbags, shoes and clothes.
“We can literally dress women from head to toe,” said co-owner Linda Arnold, speaking of the variety of shoes, handbags, undergarments, dresses, shirts, belts, jewelry and accessories that the store carries. “It’s unusual for a store our size to be able to do that.”
It’s also unusual that in just a short while, Arnold and business partner Betsy Quarles were able to bring such high fashion to the area. They just opened their store in February and are enjoying tremendous success.
If you find it at Monkee’s, you’ll know it’s the latest “in” thing.
