LANE-KNIGHT TO EXPAND OFFERINGS AND RELOCATE TO WEST 7TH
FORT WORTH, Texas (March 19, 2012) – West 7th, the vibrant mixed-use development
located at the southeast corner of University Drive and West 7th Street, announced today that
Lane-Knight will be relocating its Camp Bowie Boulevard shop to a new Crockett Street location.
Billed as a one-stop destination for the latest and greatest in fashion-forward accessories, this
trendsetting shop will introduce fashion apparel lines in its new West 7th shop, allowing the
retailer’s clients to complete their Lane-Knight look while continuing to offer an unparalleled
selection of designer accessories. The boutique, which has been featured in reputable fashion
publications including Vogue, InStyle, Lucky, Oprah, Harper's Bazaar and People StyleWatch,
stocks a strong, edited assortment of internationally established brands as well as merchandise
from up-and-coming designers.
Accessory collections include Lucite jewelry from New Yorker Alexis Bittar, Bond No. 9
fragrances, handbag collections from Rebecca Minkoff and MZ Wallace, plus collections by
Jennifer Zeuner Jewelry, Lulu Frost, Kara Ross and Fort Worth-based Three Bishops, to name
just a few. Apparel collections will include Diane von Furstenburg, Pendleton, Tibi, Current
Elliot, Madison Marcus, Minnie Rose and Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent.
“With the introduction of apparel and the need for additional square footage to coincide with our
current growth, West 7th was the perfect fit as well as the ideal location for our business,” stated
Dawn Keifer, owner of Lane-Knight.
Founded in 2008, Lane-Knight has quickly become a leading go-to storefront and online
destination for designer accessories. The Lane-Knight name came about as homage to Keifer’s
English heritage. Lane and Knight are the maiden names of Keifer’s grandmothers -- two
women who greatly influenced her taste in art and style.
Lane-Knight will occupy a 1,411-square-foot shop on Crockett Street between Terra
Mediterranean Grill and eclectic home accessory shop WRARE. The boutique is slated to open
in late summer 2012.
“As West 7th continues to expand its fashion and accessory offerings, Lane-Knight is a logical
complement to our existing merchant roster,” states Michael Wheat, executive vice president
and director of leasing for Cypress Equities, the developer of West 7th. “The shop’s designer
collections and new apparel brands are sure to be a hit with West 7th shoppers.”
The team of Frank Bullock and Carey Shagets of SRS Real Estate Partners and Roger
Chieffalo of Chieffalo Realty represented both the landlord and tenant in lease negotiations.
West 7th is a strategic blend of pedestrian-friendly urban elements positioned in a mixed-use
community offering retail, entertainment, office and residential. The 13-acre development is
located on 7th Street and University Drive near the Fort Worth business and cultural districts. Its
retail and office components are being developed by a Cypress Equities company* and the
residential component by Columbus Realty Partners, LTD. To learn more about the West 7th
