White House | Black Market to Open at Westfarms

Westfarms Mall has announced that fashion retailer White House | Black Market will open its doors at the mall this April.

The national specialty retailer offers women’s clothing, jewelry, handbags and shoes, in black and white accompanied by a seasonal pop of color. Starting in 1985 as a separate boutique named The White House, the boutique specialized in solely selling white and ivory clothing and accessories in its hometown of Baltimore, MD. After a separate Black Market boutique launched, the two concepts merged to form the White House | Black Market brand. The boutique is owned by Chico’s FAS Inc., a Fort Myers, Florida,-based retailer of casual-to-dressy women’s apparel operating 1,225 stores in the United States under the brands Chico’s, White House | Black Market, Boston Proper and Soma intimate boutiques.

White House | Black Market is scheduled to open on April 26 on the lower level, near the shopping center’s Center Court. This will be their eighth boutique in Connecticut.

The store is the latest in the expanding retail lineup at Westfarms: The mall most recently welcomed Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Carlo Pazolini and Michael Kors.
