About the store:

Tootsies is a specialty store based in Houston, Texas offering American and European designer collections, ready to wear, shoes, handbags, jewelry, and accessories. In February of 2011, Tootsies relocated to a new 35,000 square foot space in the heart of River Oaks, Houston’s oldest and most affluent residential area. The interior of the store is sleek and modern with a dash of art deco evoking an ambiance of old Hollywood glamour. Tootsies has been the “go to” fashion mecca for stylish women for over 35 years. The personal attention and array of designer merchandise has made Tootsies the toast of the town.
