Retail boutique L&D15 will not only be hosting its second Saturday Night Social on October 24th, from 7-10pm, but will also be hosting a number of other fun activities this fall.
Saturday Night Socials were conceived of as an event where our friends and customers could shop, socialize and have a cocktail in a fun, relaxed environment. Inspired by salons, speakeasys and soirées, It's a chance to try on dresses, hats, print a t-shirt, or just browse and have a good time with friends. Each Saturday Night Social at L&D15 features a different complimentary cocktail.
L&D15 will also be participating in a new event, Third Thursdays, with many other businesses in downtown Davenport. "We love giving our customers a creative experience, so we will be silkscreening both on paper and on t-shirts with customers for Third Thursday," explains co-owner David Balluff.
This month L&D15 will also be unveiling a Day of the Dead ofrenda, or altar, created by area artist Carlos Durán. More details to be announced. In mid-November, L&D15 will celebrate it's first year anniversary with a special event on November 14.
"L&D15 exists because we wanted to create a space that supports our vision of the future of retail - a venue that not only allows us to produce and sell our own products in house, but also supports the greater artistic community," explains Balluff. "We want to support creative entrepreneurship in the Quad Cities."
Both Balluff and his partner, Lopeti Etu, have previous experience as makers themselves. Balluff started t-shirt line General Assembly in 2009, and Etu is a milliner by trade, and hand makes the majority of the hats in their shop.
L&D15 is located at 520 W. 2nd Street in downtown Davenport and is open Tuesday - Saturday from 10am - 7pm, Sunday 11am - 5pm. For more information, visit landd15.com, or call 563-484-0415.
