Pop into Georgetown

Georgetown—known for great shopping and dining year-round—is raising the bar for the holidays and proving to be a true shopping destination. New stores have moved in and the classics are still strong, but standing out this season is a new trend: pop–up shops.

Setting up on Wisconsin Avenue through Dec. 22 is a Richmond native, Ledbury. What began as an addiction to tailored shirts, Paul Trible and Paul Watson turned into a brand that has expanded to blazers, sweaters, ties and other accessories. Dedicated to a high standard of fit and quality, Ledbury defies the myth of one-size-fits-all. Meanwhile, in Cady’s Alley (located below the 3300 block of M Street), five online retailers have set up shop through Jan. 5.

If you’re looking to give back this season, The Georgetowner Holiday Pop Shop will be popping up in Tony & Joe’s at Washington Harbour to benefit the Georgetown Senior Center on Dec. 4. Here are some highlights of this season’s best:
