Tired of fighting for the change room mirror with midriff-baring teenagers?
Sharing is so last year!
Enter Colton’s private couture in central Richmond, a members-only luxury retail club that boasts a shopping experience like no other — oh, and a $950 entrance fee.
Instead of sales people, members get access to a dedicated image consultant and are free to peruse Colton’s curated collection of shoes, accessories, custom diamonds and other bling at “insider prices” without interruption in grand chandeliered showrooms for him and for her.

They carry more than 50 of the current season’s designer brands including Stella McCartney, Prada, Tom Ford and Chanel, and this elite club’s membership comes with exclusive access to new products, complimentary tailoring, car pick-up service, and invitations to special club events including wine tastings and fashion shows.
