The International Council of Shopping Centers reports that The Bravern is the only luxury shopping center of its caliber to open in the U.S. this year. Located in Bellevue, Washington, it’s the Pacific Northwest’s first and only designer fashion shopping and dining destination.

Area hotels have also gotten into the luxury groove, with The Woodmark in nearby Kirkland offering a special shopping package that includes overnight accommodations, round-trip transportation to The Bravern, $100 shopping coupon and other specials.

Scheduled to open Sept. 12, 2009, The Bravern is a 1.6 million sq. ft. mixed development located at the entrance to Bellevue. The following upscale brands are a part of the mix:

  • Neiman Marcus
  • Hermes
  • Jimmy Choo
  • Salvatore Ferragamo
  • Piazza Sempione
  • Artisanal Brasserie and Artisanal Table
  • John Howie Steak
  • Wild Ginger
  • Red Door Spa

    About Me

    I'm a professional freelance writer and photographer who has been in the journalism 'biz since 1988. I live on a small farm on an island in Puget Sound with my husband, chickens, turkeys and our very own field of dreams. When I'm not packing and unpacking from exploring the seven continents (yup, I've done 'em all), I enjoy theater, movies, jazz, fine food, heavenly spas and long dinner parties with my family and friends. Oh, I grew up in the '60s and I sort of remember it through the haze.
