POSH

POSH consignment boutique hosted a grand opening preview party Friday night, and the place looks great!  The shelves are stocked and owner Julie Visperas did an excellent job pulling everything together (with an assist from her significant other, who did the remodeling work inside).  The clothes are like new and Julie has an excellent selection so far.  I saw a Louis Vuitton bag and a Betsey Johnson dress, among other things.  Posh indeed.

POSH Consignment is opening soon on 18th St. between S and T.  I’m glad to see some retail go into the area, which up until now has been mostly restaurants and hair salons.  There are a number of empty retail spaces along that stretch so I hope POSH’s arrival starts a trend.  I have high hopes for POSH.  It’s list of acceptable and unacceptable items matches my own.  Diane Von Furstenberg, yes, Jessica McClintock, absolutely not.  Saks is in, JC Penny is a no-go.  Well done, POSH.

Apparently the owners are opening a few stores at once.  Prince of Petworth posted that one is opening at 9th and U.  Although, the POSH website only mentions a Dupont Circle/Adams Morgan location, which I assume is the 18th St. store.  Are there more?

Update:  apparently Prince of Petworth got the location wrong and has since updated the post to give the correct location.  There’s only one POSH.  For now, at least.
