Brian Bolke Opens The Conservatory in Houston

The Conservatory, founded by Brian Bolke, will officially open its fourth outpost Friday in Houston’s River Oaks District, a 3,300-square-foot natural light-filled space within the outdoor shopping destination.

The brand debuted in March 2019 with a gallery in Recent York’s Hudson Yards and in addition has an outpost at Dallas’ Highland Park Village and The Conservatory on Two in Highland Park Village. Its Napa Valley, California pop-up store closed last December, as planned.

Categories include women’s and men’s clothes and niknaks, jewelry, well-being (beauty and treatment, bath and body, and candles and fragrances), in addition to living (decor and objects, books and paper, and gifts).
