Moxie District 31 helps craft style in Bay Area Moxie District 31 was just an idea for owner Abbey Lee in August 2017—right before Hurricane Harvey struck the Greater Houston area and destroyed her home.
The big picture From dresses and jumpsuits to wedges and sneakers, Moxie District 31 o ers an assortment of items for women—especially in denim, Lee said. Known as the “Jean Queens,” Lee said customers often come in in hopes of nding a new pair of jeans, whether it’s denim straight leg, wide leg, relaxed t, bootcut, crop or are. “We have a whole wall full of jeans, lots of di er- ent styles, lots of di erent sizes,” Lee said. Lee said she also strives to seek new vendors every chance she can, especially local vendors. Currently, Lee o ers local jewelry, as well as candles and body scents, she said.
Lee said she wants people to feel welcomed and invited.
The plans, as a result, came to a halt, she said. Nevertheless, Lee continued to launch her rst website in April 2018 to sell a couple of boutique items from inside her dining room. After opening her rst shop in Kemah, Lee said she found a new location in Houston in March 2019. By November 2022, Lee moved once more to the place where Moxie District 31 resides today. “I want [people] to feel welcome and invited and loved, like they’re part of the family, and they just feel like shopping is easy,” Lee said.
