About Dharma & Leopold's Children's Chic Boutique

The story behind Dharma & Leopold's

Dharma & Leopold's is a mother and daughter family owned business located in Stonewall Shops Square in Gainesville, VA (Wegmans Center). One of the only Children's boutiques in the Northern Virginia area, the store opened when Sam Quinn, now 7 years old was due and we couldn't find fun, unique boys clothing in the local area and saw a real need for a quality children's clothing store.

The name of our store comes from Dharma, Mom's Chocolate Lab and Prince Leopold, daughter's Bengal cat which created our signature paw print wrapping showing their stamp of approval. The wrapping has become well known at baby showers in the surrounding areas (we had one mother save all the wrapping from our gifts because she liked it so much).

The philosophy behind the store is to offer high quality, unique children's clothing, children's shoes, gifts and decor at a fair price with unparalleled customer service. After seven years many of our customers are now good friends along with their children. Customers like knowing that either Brenda or Roxanne will be there to greet them when they come to the store and will know exactly what they like and need to add to their children's wardrobe. We cater to the new trendy mom as well as carrying more traditional styles such as smocking that appeal to the Grandmother.

We now have a new member of the team, Lulu, a French Bulldog that Brenda rescued from the Fauquier shelter. She is in the store with Brenda and has cultivated quite a following including the mailman, UPS man and many children who refer to the store now as "LuLu's store".
