ANT/DOTE is a new high-fashion retail store based in Atlanta, Georgia. Recently opening its doors, the boutique carries big names like Rick Owens, Jil Sander, Junya Watanabe, and more. The store is filled with an assortment of unisex clothes and even features a VIP lounge for a luxe shopping experience. Exclusive candles from brands like Aesop, Cire Trudon, Mad et Len and Perfumer H line the walls.
ANT/DOTE’s founder, Lauren A. Amos, wants ANT/DOTE to become a retail necessity -- a go-to shopping store for Atlanta residents. "We wanted to solve the problem of people getting lost and paralyzed with too much information out there, and drowning in choices. We get to curate a retail environment where the idea is, that if you come to the store, you’re going to find something amazing here," says Rabkin, the store’s director.
Located at 525 Bishop Street in Atlanta, GA, the ANT/DOTE store is open for shopping.
