Opal is the women’s fashion boutique on Main Street in The Mill Creek Town Center. Mill Creek is the third store for Opal in the greater Seattle area, owned and operated by Shannen Wyman. Other locations are the original store in Redmond and one in South Lake Union, Seattle. The Mill Creek store opened in April 2008.
There is an emphasis on designer jeans including 7’s, Citizens of Humanity, William Rast, AG Jeans, Hudson Jeans, True Religion, Rock & Republic, Genetic, Pur and the list goes on. The angst induced by shopping for jeans is right up there with shopping for a swimsuit for many women, but with this great selection, there is certain to be something for everybody, and I mean every body.
Tops to go with these bottoms are also in great supply. I found many variations on the basic T including assorted styles from Michael Stars. Moving past the jeans & T’s, I found sweaters from Michael Stars, velour from Juicy Couture, dresses & jackets from Bailey 44, tops from Miss Me and casual knits from Fluxus. Other brands represented are: James Perse, Fifteen-Twenty, Alternative Apparel and Left on Houston.
Fluxus is a relatively new brand carried by Opal. The company is located in Los Angeles and headed up by its founder (since 2007) Martin Paquette and lead designer Jeffrey Sebelia winner of Project Runway-Season 3. Sebelia joined Fluxus in the summer of 2008. All the clothing is made in the Los Angeles area. Pacquette chooses not to outsource. In the line you will easy fitting tops, bottoms, tunics, dresses. All great layering pieces in soft, neutral shades.
In addition to clothing, Opal carries an assortment of Voluspa candles, Lolita glassware — you know those cute hand-painted martini glasses, and La Licious body care/spa products. Another specialty item is Ms. Wyman’s own line of hand-made jewelry, Kazia Digo. Her collection includes earring and necklaces featuring Swarovski crystals and precious metals.
Opal has a VIP Club membership. Pay $25 dollars to join and you will receive 15% off all your purchases for one year and invites to special events. So be sure to ask a sales associate for all the details on that. Do tell.
