Now Open: Azzure Couture Special Occasion Dresses


 

The stretch of Santee Street between 9th and 14th Streets has long been known as the go-to destination for prom and special occasion dresses, a reputation that continues to grow as new special occasion dress stores open along the street. The latest is Azzure Couture, a Florida-based line offering prom, pageant, bridesmaid, mother of the bride, evening, and special occasion dresses. This is Azzure's first West Coast location, with plans to expand in the near future.

Azzure Couture is owned by a husband and wife design duo who maintain full creative control over their business. This mans all of the dresses at the Santee location are exclusive to the store. You won't find them anywhere else in the Fashion District.

The dresses are sized 2-20, retail between $250 and $350 dollars, and are available for wholesale and retail. New collections arrive every two to three months.

All that Glitters...


Whether you're looking for evening shoes or just a gal who loves a good sparkle, Santee Alley has the shoes for you. Metallic shoes are currently trending in the alley. We've seen gold and silver heels, wedges, flats, and even boots! Typically reserved for night-time and special occasion, the low-heeled styles allow for day time wear and more casual looks.

All styles pictured here are available to wholesale and retail shoppers at Forever Shoes, located at 1010 inside the alley. Forever Shoes is one of many shoe stores in the area that sells to both business owners and the public. This is one of the many things that makes the alley so unique!
