A new boutique bringing an homage to family history and partnerships with small vendors is set to open in Round Rock later this summer.
What's new?
Sweet Irene's, a boutique offering clothing for women and children, candles, jewelry and home decor with some stock supplied by local vendors, will open in the city's downtown district in mid-August or early September, pending construction timelines.
About the business
Locally owned by Melissa Moody, the boutique's name is a nod to her grandmother, Irene, a Dallas socialite. The interior will evoke old Hollywood glamour and Palm Springs, she said, with velvet curtains and upholstery, glass knobs and a feminine color palette.
Once open, Moody said she plans to hold sip and shop nights to connect vendors and customers.
In their own words
"I want to use my store for good and to help people grow," Moody said. "I just want to make somebody else's life even better than it was before."
