ABOUT THE COMPANY

Valentines is a luxury boutique with a collection of ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories, fine and fashion jewelry, and home décor. In 1999, Teresa Windham opened the first Valentines location in Austin, Texas with a mission to “find the clothes you love to wear.” With a second location at Kerbey Lane Village that opened in 2015, both boutiques are glamorous havens that encapsulate Teresa’s passion for art, fashion, travel, and design in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Today, the team at Valentines continues to travel the world to hand select clothing that fits every aspect of women’s lives. Our team of stylists works with clients to create custom edits that elevate everyday essentials and tailor looks for special occasions. Whether we are styling a long-time client or welcoming someone for the very first time, helping each woman tap into her inner joy and feel gorgeous remains at the core of all we do.
