Style 208 combines a furniture showroom, art gallery, design studio and boutique under one roof. Located on Jenschke Lane just outside Fredericksburg, the business reflects owners Gabriel and Litsa Folse’s background in home design, fine art and craftsmanship. Rather than following a single decorating trend, the showroom brings together furniture, original artwork, antiques, pottery and home décor.
The couple’s path to Fredericksburg began with an award-winning custom home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Their design earned three awards during the Haciendas Parade of Homes, and the property’s address–208 Camino del Norte–later became the inspiration for the name Style 208. After relocating to the Texas Hill Country, they built a 1,600-square-foot showroom to showcase the design approach they had developed through that project.
Their Santa Fe influence appears throughout the store, blended with Texas materials, European antiques and Southwestern furnishings. Large furniture pieces share space with original artwork, reclaimed architectural elements, pottery, jewelry, coffee and fresh-cut flowers. The inventory changes regularly, giving repeat visitors something new to browse while offering ideas for mixing rustic materials with softer finishes and contemporary accents.
The showroom also highlights the Folses’ own creative work. Litsa produces custom leather and cowhide handbags, along with paintings and photography, while Gabriel brings decades of experience in film together with woodworking and fine art. Rotating gallery exhibits feature additional artists, and a dedicated Boot Bar offers appointments for customers seeking custom-fitted boots.
Some customers stop in for a single piece, while others work with the Folses on one of Style 208’s most distinctive offerings: Boot Bar consultations. Customers design boots by selecting the leather, color, heel, height and embroidery before each pair is made to order. Together, the showroom, gallery and studio reflect the couple’s belief that good design comes from collecting pieces with character and making them work together to reflect individual style.
What's the recipe for curating personal style? Solid construction, obvious texture, a blending of colors that make you happy and the enjoyment of the journey. - Litsa Folse
