Texas-based lifestyle brand and retailer Flea Style is officially returning to Houston with its ninth brick-and-mortar location opening March 7 at River Oaks Shopping Center.
A sneak peek
In a Feb. 17 news release, brand officials call Flea Style the "home of the original hat bar," where guests can experience a 1,540-square-foot space featuring a mezzanine level designed for private hat bar parties, a 10.5-foot vintage oak bar saloon and an interactive hat bar.

CEO Brittany Cobb said she has wanted to open a store in Houston since the brand opened its first store in 2018 in Dallas.
“I spent eight years patiently waiting for the perfect space, and we have finally found it," she said. "We are thrilled to bring Flea Style—and our Original Hat Bar experience—back to our beloved Houston customers at River Oaks.”
How it works
At Flea Style, guests can walk in or reserve a spot to design their own custom hat, which includes a complimentary beverage while stylists piece together each product.
All hats are unisex and designed and manufactured by Flea Style. Guests can also customize wool and straw hats with bands, pins, feathers and patches.
Approximately 50% of the store is dedicated to the brand's signature hat bar experience, according to the release. The remaining 60% will showcase a curated mix of women's apparel, jewelry, gifts and home decor.

The store will also debut several River Oaks exclusives, a representative of the brand said, including a curated selection of vintage cowboy boots, kantha quilt capes, jackets and 30 custom decorated hats crafted in the brand's Dallas studio.
The River Oaks location will also feature a Belt Bar, which was previously only available in Fort Worth, as well as newly sourced California flea market finds selected by Cobb for the Houston store.
