Boutique Shopping & Local Finds

• Highland Park Village  · ~4 miles · Preston Rd & Mockingbird Ln The first self-contained shopping center ever built in the United States, it opened in 1931 and a National Historic Landmark, Highland Park Village is as architecturally beautiful as it is commercially exceptional. The ornate Spanish-style center houses Chanel, Hermès, Christian Louboutin, Dior, Loro Piana, Tom Ford, and dozens of luxury boutiques alongside Cafe Pacific, Bistro 31, and beloved independent tenants. A required stop for anyone with an appreciation for design, architecture, or exceptional retail.
