Fodor's Expert Review Skynear Designs
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
A staff of artisans and interior designers is on hand to help you identify and sort through the collection, but it's easy to just while away a few hours browsing the treasures housed in this century-old corner brownstone. As the oldest design store in the nation's capitol, Skynear has supported hundreds of D.C.-based and international artisans. You'll find jewelry, fashion, textiles, and home furnishings at this one-of-a-kind lifestyle store. If your energy starts to wane, enjoy a German pastry and coffee from Sweet Science, or traditional Chinese reflexology and acupressure health treatments—yes, this is all here. The shop also holds regular trunk shows and wine tastings throughout the year.
