Eve Couture's third store marks first year in Westlake

With her other two locations situated in nearby small towns—Fredericksburg and Marble Falls—Compton said the business growth in Westlake has been slower than the other Central Texas sites but is steadily growing. The original store in Marble Falls, she said, took off as soon as it opened. Six months later, she opened a shop in Fredericksburg, and the tourism of the area helped jump-start the business and prompted the move to Westlake.

“It’s a steadiness [in Westlake],” Compton said. “It’s lots of loyal customers who return.”

With a variety of casual wear, active wear, shoes and accessories, Compton said most items are under $50 and meet the fashion wants of women across ages and clothing styles.

“Inventory is constantly changing,” she said. “I like to refresh and move it out. I think what we try to do is bring whatever the ‘in-style’ and ‘in-fashion’ is and make it available for everybody.”

In both Westlake and Fredericksburg, Eve Couture also sells clothing for girls ages 5-13.

“I really want to create a fun place for moms and daughters to shop and husbands to get gifts,” Compton said.

Customers are treated to wine, champagne, or non-alcoholic beverages for children and teens while they shop. Patrons can book private shopping parties after hours for a more personalized experience.
