Washingtonians are an incredibly creative bunch. We are artists, artisans, chefs and creators and there is one unique shop in DC that is dedicated to everything created in DC and to those who create here. You need to make a visit to Shop Made in DC, the newest boutique that is so perfectly DC.
Shop Made In DC is the most locally focused shop in the district. It recently opened this past year with the mission to promote small businesses in the city.
The items in the store will rotate so every month there will be a new crop of art, clothing, jewelry and crafts from different local vendors. The shop features products from 20-25 different vendors at a time.
There will be different foods and beverages served but you'll be able to a full day of food and drink from coffee and bagels in the morning to sandwiches and salads and beer and cider in the evenings.
Shop Made In DC is more than just a shop. It's also a community gathering space. Patrons can relax and unwind in the cafe. The shop even plays a soundtrack of local DC-based bands and musicians.
If you're an artist or local vendor, you can apply to be a featured vendor on Shop Made in DC's website. And if you're a Washingtonian, you should head to Shop Made In DC for unique and community-focused shop.
