Partners Card Picks For 2021 — Favorite Dallas Stores to Shop During North Texas’ Biggest Shopping Event

Your Guide to Rare Shopping and Food Discounts

BY // 10.27.21

Partners Card, that magical 10-day shopping fundraiser, is just around the corner. This year’s event takes place on Friday, October 29 through Sunday, November 7. The always-anticipated shopping holiday benefits the worthiest of causes: The Family Place, which helps victims of domestic violence in North Texas.

Simply purchase a Partners Card for $75, and use it as your magic wand to instantly save 20 percent at your favorite stores and 10 percent at many of Dallas’ best restaurants. It’s the ultimate win-win scenario: One hundred percent of your Partners Card purchase goes directly to support the life-saving programs and services of The Family Place.

One in three women is impacted by family violence. By tackling your shopping list with the Partners Card, you’re not only saving money ― you’re saving lives.

Many of the upscale stores participating in this Partners Card event rarely hold sales, so this is the perfect opportunity to shop at your favorite mainstays, or to introduce yourself to some of the most interesting stores in North Texas, at a discount. Many of the 500-plus stores also participate in Partners Card Online Shopping. Simply register your card number online at partnerscard.org for access.

Of course, all that shopping will make you work up an appetite, so whether you’re dining in or getting takeout, the participating restaurants give you plenty to choose from during these 10 special festive days.

To get you into the Partners Card spirit, here are the PaperCity editors’ shopping and dining picks:

 

Miron Crosby boots
Miron Crosby Brooke pair in cream.

Brooke Dowdy, Publisher

Naturepedic Mattress
I’ve been trying to clean up my household and beauty products so naturally, a certified organic mattress is important as I spend at least eight hours sleeping on it a day. Naturepedic mattresses are the cleanest in the industry and mattress insert can easily be replaced after ten years for a new mattress without a new mattress price tag.

Miron Crosby 
These Brooke boots have been on my list for years. Hoping to give myself an early Christmas present this year!

Toys Unique 
With three kids under 8, I always pop by Toys Unique to stock up on holiday gifts during Partner’s Card.

 

Wildlike Piercing Parlor
The striking WildLike space, dreamed up by Swoon the Studio and B. Russo Designs, offers an elevated take on the piercing parlor.

Caitlin Clark, Digital Editor

Wildlike
The curated ear trend has so many of us daring to get our daith or cartilage pierced. I would wholly trust my lobes with the team at Wildlike — if they’re good enough for Cynthia Erivo, they’re certainly good enough for me.

Enlighten MD
One of the best facials I’ve ever received was Enlighten’s salt treatment. With so many events and holiday parties coming up, my face could use a solid, rejuvenating scrub.

Bandier
I’m still very much on the sweatpants forever train, so I might as well make my lounging as cool as possible. Bandier is always on top of what’s trending in activewear (sweatpants included).

 

The Conservatory Dallas

Billy Fong, Editor in Chief

Bibbentuckers
It’s that time of year where I can bring in heavy duvets and comforters cleaned and the fluffed before the chillier months ahead. Bibbentuckers has always been my go-to since moving to Dallas in 2005.

Saint Laurent Teddy
I’ve been meaning to score a pair of white loafers for a while now (I’m also on the lookout for a chic pair of spectators) so what better time than with my Partner’s Card.

Sid Mashburn
Anyone who has seen me regularly the past two years knows that I’ve been trying to always rock a strong sock game. I like the idea of these navy cashmere/silk ones (over-the-calf) paired with my brown chunky Armani brogues, twill shorts and an oversized gray sweater for November nights.

The Conservatory
The best way to elevate a casual look is with a lux fabric. In this case, a simple gray hoodie (Ron Dorff cashmere hoodie) becomes perfectly appropriate for Sunday brunch with friends if paired with some dark denim jeans and loafers (might I recommend Prada).

 

Partners Card
Bandier Dallas

Megan Ziots, Digital Editor

Bandier
Since I found out I’ve been wearing my tennis shoes a size too small for most of my adult life, I’ve been refreshing my footwear collection. Lately, I’ve been eyeing the HOKA Clifton sneakers from Bandier and Partners Card would be a great opportunity to pull the trigger on them.

Interabang Books
Interabang Books is a go-to local bookshop for great reads. This fall, I’m making sure to grab a copy of Brené Brown’s newest book Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of the Human Experience — available for pre-order now.

LDU Coffee
LDU Coffee is one of my favorite places to grab a flat white or iced coffee. They just opened a brand new location near White Rock Lake that sells their warm sandwiches, banana bread, and cool merch as well.

 

Ylang 23 trendy talisman’s like the Evil Eye pendant Partners Card
Trendy talisman’s like the Evil Eye pendant are at Ylang 23.

Jess Prescott, Associate Publisher

Ylang23
They have incredible pieces — perfect for you or as a gift. Lately I have been eyeing a new Foundrae necklace to layer with.

NorthPark Center
So many tenants at NorthPark are participating in Partners Card. I love to make a list of holiday gifts and walk the mall to pick up for my family.

La Vie Style House
They have the most beautiful caftans — perfect for the beach or an event. You can dress them up and down and are great investment pieces.

Dear Hannah,
Dear Hannah, has great apparel. They have fun game day looks, everyday apparel, accessories, and cute gifts that you can give to friends or family.

Free People
My sisters and I love going to Free People together. Right now, they have great fall picks and comfy athletic apparel. I have become obsessed with the new Movement collection and love mix-matching pieces.

SusieCakes
In college, my friends and I always celebrated birthdays with a cake from SusieCakes. For example, my friends got me a red velvet cake for my 21st birthday. The desserts are delicious and made from scratch. They have an assortment of desserts, like cupcakes, pies, cookies, and cakes.
