Founded in 1988 for young career women who wanted to wear emerging contemporary designers like Nicole Miller and Nanette Lepore, Betsy Fisher quickly established a following of women of all ages and career phases who enjoy signature style. For thirty years, thanks to warm and knowledgeable service, well-edited collections of unique designers and events that range from personal appearances to fund raisers, Betsy Fisher stands out as one of DC's premiere women's boutiques. Each season brings a splash of fresh designers to a core of mostly European and Canadian lines. An equal emphasis on style, functionality and comfort results in a cross-generational appeal. As dress codes and norms have changed, so has the selection, ensuring a breadth of choices for work, travel, and weekends, and a smattering of beautiful evening options. A 2017 expansion and update incorporates a kitchen, realizing the sustaining ethos of hospitality. More than an excellent clothing and shoe store, Betsy Fisher is a place to relax, spend time with fellow shoppers, and appreciate the excellence of fine design and, in some cases, artisanal production.
