L&D15 marks it's first year anniversary with a guy's night out on Saturday, November 14, starting at 7pm. The night will feature a fashion presentation from men's clothing designer Harmsen, music and hors d'ouvres.
"When we first opened a year ago, we led with fashion, and we want to continue to be known as a style-driven boutique for both women and men," states Lopeti Etu, co-founder at L&D15.
"Harmsen has been a gift to us, as they are both a locally owned company, and provide a level of personalized service to their clients," explains co-founder David Balluff. "Being able to make an appointment and have yourself fitted for a fashion forward custom shirt is in keeping with our goal of being a new style of retail in the Quad Cities."
Harmsen is a locally owned label making high quality men's dress shirts and accessories. Their shirts, which are available off the rack or by custom order, are made from rich Egyptian and Italian cottons in a number of styles and patterns. In addition, Harmsen gives a percentage of their sales each year to charitable causes.
L&D15 is a new style of retail for the Quad Cities, featuring clothing, accessories and home wares for both men and women. In 2013, co-owners David Balluff and Lopeti Etu moved here from Brooklyn, NY with the idea of opening a store that would also serve as production space for Balluff's silkscreen t-shirt company, General Assembly, and Etu's millinery label. L&D15 also serves as an exclusive area outlet for New York clothing designers San & Soni, and celebrity jeweler Me & Ro, as well as a venue for local artists and craftspeople.
L&D15 will also be hosting one of it's occasional Saturday Night Social events on November 7th, from 7-10pm. The events give customers and friends an opportunity to sip, shop and mingle.
L&D15 is located at 520 W. 2nd Street, between Scott and Western, in downtown Davenport. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10am - 7pm, Sunday 12 - 5pm.
