Dallas has become even more stylish these days. We love that Park Cities resident Shannon Jud recently opened Kat + Noelle, a family owned and operated boutique located in The Pavilion on Lovers Lane. The venue offers a unique, curated collection of resort-inspired women’s apparel and accessories, fragrances, home décor, and gifts. The boutique, named after Jud’s two daughters, Hannah Katherine and Harper Noelle, who frequent the shop if they aren’t found working there.
In fact, Kat + Noelle has been a lifelong dream for Jud. After leaving corporate America five years ago with little to no retail experience but driven by her love of fashion, shopping, and her own personal, unique style, she started her journey in the retail industry. In 2018, Shannon and her husband, Tom Jud, bought the popular upscale resale shop, Clothes Circuit, located in Preston Center. Together, they updated the more than 35-year-old shop and overhauled the consignment area. This endeavor allowed Shannon to pair her love of fashion and retail with her business acumen from her corporate days. Yearning for her next retail adventure, Shannon Jud took the leap into retail once again with Kat + Noelle, which earlier this year.
It’s a special place. The beautifully appointed boutique offers a thoughtfully curated collection of contemporary ready-to-wear focused on women-owned and sustainably smart brands offering a mix of new, popular, and mostly international designers. A few notable brands found at Kat + Noelle include: Custommade, Bamboliera, Beatrice b, De Loreta, Tallulah & Hope, No Pise La Grama, Gissa Bicalho, Neubyrne, Laura Foote, Nette, Poolside, The Jacksons London, The Wolfgang, VIETRI, and Ortigia Sicilia. For any style, there’s a Kat + Noelle outfit just waiting to be tried on. So, what are you waiting on? For more information, visit KatNoelle.com.
