STUART WEITZMAN OPENING BETHESDA BOUTIQUE IN JANUARY 2013

HIGH-END SHOE

DESIGNER-TO-THE-STARS

COMING TO WESTFIELD

MONTGOMERY MALL

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive

Bethesda women who are obsessed with shoes:  there is incredibly fantastic news for you, and incredibly terrifying news for your bank account.

Stuart Weitzman is coming to Bethesda in January 2013.

The Stuart Weitzman who uses unusual materials like cork, Lucite, and even 24-carat gold in his high-end creations?

The Stuart Weitzman who designs a one-of-a-kind pair, for one Oscar-nominated actress to wear at the Academy Awards each year?

Yes, that Stuart Weitzman.

Weitzman's company also sells handbags, clutches and other designer accessories.

Of course, you could always just shop online.  But having a physical location in Bethesda means no surprises, no wrong sizes, and plenty of impulse buying for you and your girlfriends.

This is another coup for Westfield, again demonstrating the company is trying to improve Montgomery Mall, even as other greedy mall operators in the county are conspiring to demolish their gallerias.

Ladies, start celebrating, and start saving up; the shop whose brand slogan is "a little obsessed with shoes" is coming to Bethesda.
