Bailey Banks & Biddle

Specialty Store, Sales Area 5001 to 10,000 Square Feet
Award of Merit
RYA Design Consultancy, Dallas

Bailey Banks & Biddle wanted a fitting flagship to convey its new motto (“Where treasures live”) to its target consumer (35- to 45-year-old women). A curved glass storefront and filigree grilled entryway lend a residential feel, which continues with a comfortable seating area, neutral palette of cherry wood, fawn suede and brushed nickel, and elegant low-profile display cases.
