Step into R. Brooklyn in Bee Cave, where building a stylish wardrobe is effortless. This boutique redefines the shopping experience with its unique blend of high-end fashion and personalized service, making it a must-visit destination for the fashion-forward.
Katie Antis, the creative force behind R. Brooklyn, shares, “Design was always my first love. I studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) and went on to design my own line, Bump Couture in 2006, which had a global following. After pausing my career to raise my children, I knew I wanted to return to fashion with a fresh perspective. R. Brooklyn allows me to bring my passion for design into every buying decision, ensuring each piece is meticulously chosen for quality, fit, and style.”
Katie's extensive experience in the fashion industry, including designing a specialty line for Target, underpins the unique offerings at R. Brooklyn. "Knowing where a garment starts and how it is created, along with an understanding of fabrics, dyes, and stitching, is incredibly helpful when buying," Katie explains.
The name R. Brooklyn holds personal significance for Katie. “It combines my daughters' middle names—‘R’ from my youngest, named after her great-grandmother, and ‘Brooklyn’ from my oldest. It’s a tribute to my family and a constant reminder of my inspirations,” she adds.
The boutique’s styling philosophy is evident in its curated collections, featuring standout pieces like Marcelle low-slung cargos from Citizens of Humanity and versatile denim from brands like AGOLDE and STILL HERE NEW YORK. Katie’s love for quality is palpable, from classic cashmere tees to chic athleisure from Australia’s The Upside. She emphasizes, “Not every trend is always for everyone—and that’s okay. We focus on timeless and quality pieces that will carry you through many seasons of life. From there, you can always mix and match, sprinkle in color, a bold print, or even a little sparkle. Don’t be afraid to step a little out of your comfort zone.”
At R. Brooklyn, every client interaction is a tailored experience, “We have clients who pre-book styling sessions, allowing us to prepare curated outfits ready for them to try on.” Shelia Parodi, a longtime client, recounts, “Katie’s styling for my Greece and Italy trip was impeccable, which earned me countless compliments.” Another client, Brandy M., adds, “Katie knows what works for me, and I always get compliments on the pieces she curates. When Katie calls me with something she thinks works, I tell her to ‘wrap them up.’ I am so confident that I will love them and they will look great!”
R. Brooklyn clients are guided through each piece, discussing brands, fabrics, and fits to ensure every woman leaves feeling confident and comfortable. This fall, the boutique is introducing online shopping, new brands, personal styling appointments, packing consultations, and in-home closet edits. Experience the chic, personalized fashion at R. Brooklyn, where every visit is a celebration of style and individuality. In addition to these new offerings, the boutique is also planning in-store private parties, special events, and exciting collaborations, which will be featured in their new RB Monthly Style Email.
