Title: A Hidden Gem: Shop Made in DC and the Exceptional Meredith

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Shop Made in DC at 325 Morse st NE and I can’t stop raving about it! This charming boutique is a true gem in the heart of the nation’s capital, offering a delightful array of locally crafted treasures that celebrate the creativity and talent of DC artisans.

From unique home decor pieces to handcrafted jewelry and artisanal food items, Shop Made in DC has something for everyone. But what truly sets this place apart is the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by its owner, Meredith.

Meredith’s passion for supporting local artisans is evident in every aspect of the store. She goes above and beyond to curate a diverse selection of high-quality products, ensuring that each item tells a story and reflects the rich cultural tapestry of DC.

During my visit, Meredith was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, offering insights into the craftsmanship behind each piece and sharing fascinating stories about the artists behind them. Her genuine enthusiasm and dedication to her craft made the shopping experience truly memorable.

Not only does Shop Made in DC offer a fantastic selection of products, but it also serves as a hub for the local creative community, hosting events and workshops that foster collaboration and innovation.

Whether you’re a DC local or just visiting the area, I highly recommend stopping by Shop Made in DC. It’s more than just a store – it’s a celebration of local talent, creativity, and community spirit, thanks in no small part to the...

ove this cute DC boutique with smorgasbord style rotating food court. Great way to sample unique food from different vendors.

I got the Tibetan veggie dumplings, which were amazing! Highly recommend! I think they were stuffed with spinach and had great flavor. I planned on only eating one, but ended up scarfing down the other one as well (2 come in an order). I enjoyed dipping the dumpling into the picked eggplant that came on the side. It was heavenly!

I wasn't a big fan of the veggie taco. It was quite bland, smothered in sauce that was dripping down the taco every time I took a bite.

I got the Eighth cocktail, bourbon based. Boy could I taste the bourbon! After a couple of sips, I put it aside. It would have been much better with more cider or syrup, something to make it sweeter and a bit more balanced.

I got the Desert Rose tea, which was delicious and highly recommend! The teas are from Calabash in Shaw.

The service is really friendly and great. They are passionate about what they do and really try to take care of the customer (I got to smell the tea and able to get 1 taco instead of 2).

Overall, I had fun trying out food from the different vendors and will be back in a few months to see what's new in...

I think the store has good intentions to support local businesses/artists. However as a native Washingtonian I think it's a shame that this is yet another place where we are not represented. All the "local" vendors in the store are DC area transplants and not actual born and raised residents of our community. I even saw a vendor who has only been in the area for a year yet she has been represented in your shop. All though DC has now become the transplant capital of the world native Washingtonians are still here. We are not unicorns of the community as we are made out to be. There are so many of us here who are talented artists and business people and I find it funny that a store called Shop Made In DC doesn't have any items from residents Made In DC. Please take this as constructive criticism as I think this store has all the potential in the world especially in a place like Georgetown where we recieve so many tourists. You have the opportunity to support actual local businesses and...
