TWO TOP LUXURY BRANDS lead the charge of refined labels that are setting up shop in our mountain town. Filson's new 900-square-foot store on Hunter Street is the label's first US retail store outside the Pacific Northwest, selling a variety of signature apparel, accessories, and outerwear. "There are few places in the world with a higher concentration of outdoor enthusiasts than Colorado," says Filson CEO Alan Kirk. "We look forward to being closer to our longtime customers in this state as well as the region's many international guests." If you're on the hunt for the season's hottest Italian designs, look no further than Valentino's first stand-alone Colorado location on South Galena Street. The David Chipperfield–designed, 1,412-square-foot space will carry women's handbags, shoes, and ready-to-wear. Consistent with the brand's aesthetic style, the boutique's interior features Venetian terrazzo framing and solid walnut flooring. Filson, 402 S. Hunter St., 970-925-7244; filson.com.
