We believe that true style isn't just about what you wear or adorn yourself with— it's about the way you feel.
How it started
Derived from a Latin phrase meaning 'her wings,' Alas Eius ("al - as - eh - use") stands for embarking on your own journey. It signifies independence, confidence, self-assurance + love.
What we're about
Nestled in the Mosaic District in Northern Virginia, our space transcends the ordinary retail experience. It's a sanctuary where connections flourish, collaborations thrive, and individuals find themselves deeply connected to the world around them.
Where we're going
At Alas Eius, we believe that true style isn't just about what you wear or adorn yourself with — it's about the connections you make and the way you feel. We curate and collect our offerings in small batches to avoid excess waste, ensuring that each piece is carefully selected for its quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Partnering with designers who uphold high standards of production and ethics, we prioritize fair labor practices and the betterment of the earth.

Lexi
From the moment you walk in, it's like a breath of fresh air. There really aren't stores like this anymore: somewhere you can find a truly special piece of clothing and make a genuine connection with another person along the way.
McGennis
This is a gorgeous shop. Great lighting. Great display of clothes and jewelry. Plants and art objects beautifully scattered around the shop. It’s an open airy space but not huge so it feels intimate. The clothing is quiet, elegant, chic but also casual and very comfortable. The pieces are clearly designer and so compelling and beautiful
Emily
Beautiful designer clothing store to help you build a capsule wardrobe with high-quality staple pieces that all go together. Purchased a denim skirt and cute tank top that became uniform last summer because its all I wanted to wear.
