Keep it in the Family…TABANDEH
Tucked away like my secret stash…. the ground level of the Mazza Gallerie, DC, CLOSERTHANTHISTOCHEVYCHASE cloisters a delightful boutique literally packed with some of fashion’s best labels.
Can’t make it to Jeffrey New York? Maxfields’ LA? Try TABANDEH .
Sporting some of the hardest to procure labels for a small venue: Rick Owens, Nulle, Shelly Litvak, Stephen Webster, Nigel Preston, Jamin Puech, (and, the list goes on….) Tabandeh has a warren of treasures that seem to be constantly renewed. Such a pleasure to find this Fountain of Fashion (the one for Youth is in the Basement of the Mall of the Emirates…) outside of the major Hubs.
Sahba, Tabandeh’s son, is a talented designer in his own right—(see picture with Karl Lagerfeld, no less…) and is a driving force behind some of the Boutique’s couture collections.
Samira, Tabandeh’s daughter, is the designer of GAS jewelry, L.A. –her own creations remind us of those updated tahitian pearl confections by Wu that are sold for $10K plus (pearl on a ribbon) at Maxfields. Lanvin, eat your Heart out.
TABANDEH also stocks a specialty line of bags reminiscent of Alexandra Knight in exotic skins with a stylish edge: Nina ROSEN. Nina creates a variety of custom handbags and accessories with a twist—you can afford them without consulting your private banker.
Clothing, Jewelry, Accessories…..Tabandeh SHOULD HAVE YOUR NUMBER (if not….here’s hers: 202-244-0777–ask for Martine).

Thanks YYC for the referral. I love the shop and have done more damage monthly than I should. Your rep is golden in that store…just wanted you to know. You’ve got great street cred and a fab fashion sense. Move to LA. We need you more.
You have some well placed friends yumyumcherry. it’s almost impossible to get an audience with KL. I’m in fashion and i’ve seen people turned away at shows. what label does sabha design for now? is he with Chanel? we love ur site.
Found this store by accident while visiting the area. I was in heaven to browse. I’m a serious jewelry lover and wish there were more locations. I purchased the most unique earrings . In love with this store. Most pleasant customer rep helped me too.
