Community
A note from Samantha
Our small business was built by the support of family + friends and now, more than ever, we need your continued support.
The retail landscape may look very different on the other side of this, we must make a conscious decision about what we want our communities to look like. This means choosing to shop small and recognizing that individual, quality hand-made goods are to be valued. We are fortunate to have such an incredible array of small businesses in DC and I encourage you to support them. Visit DC Shop Small to discover some new favorites.
The enormity of the impact on our small business, and for all small businesses is staggering. Our closure not only affects our employees, whom we call family, but it also affects the hundreds of artists and artisans we support, whom we call friends. We encourage you to browse our Designers + Makers page and click on the individual designers to read more behind the line.
Despite these challenges, we have been working hard to adapt to our new reality. We've turned all of our attention to our online shop to ensure an enhanced customer experience and we are reaching out in a more purposeful way via our weekly newsletters + Instagram (follow us!).
From all of us, Thank You! We appreciate each and every purchase you make with The Phoenix!
With gratitude,
Sam + The Phoenix Staff
