It’s an undeniable fact that shoppers are loyal to quality products and well-known brands. Buckhead, one of the most prosperous places in Atlanta and the entire Southeast, offers luxury at its finest while still being infused with its southern charm. And that luxury extends to its shopping options, with high-end brands like Miu Miu, Dior, Gucci, Hermes, Tom Ford and more found in several of the area’s top shopping areas.

High-End Shopping in Buckhead

Lenox Square Mall

There are two mainstream, traditional shopping havens in Buckhead: Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza. The essential stores at Lenox Square include Neiman Marcus, Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s. However, department stores aren’t the only thing filling up the largest shopping mall in the southeast, where you’ll also find luxury and boutique retailers such as Cartier, Kiehl’s, Mori Luggage and Gifts, Louis Vuitton, Zara and Nicole Miller. When shopping has worked up your appetite, head to True Food Kitchen for sustainable, healthy fare or indulge in a burger and milkshake at Zinburger Wine and Burger Bar. Not to mention, shoppers love Sprinkles, known for the 24/7 cupcake ATM machine.

Shopping in Buckhead wouldn’t be complete without a stop at one of the Southeast’s most prestigious malls, Phipps Plaza, which features department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom. Phipps is perhaps best known for tons of high-end shops like Jimmy Choo, Tiffany’s, Jeffrey, L.K. Bennett and Vince, as well as access to personal shoppers. Phipps is also home to exceptional dining options, like Davio’s and The Tavern at Phipps. To make this area even more exciting, Simon Malls, the owner of Phipps, recently announced mixed-use development plans, which will include a new Nobu hotel and Nobu restaurant, a gym and office space.

Stroll Through the Stylish Boutique Shops

Nestled inside the perimeters of Peachtree and Piedmont roads and Peachtree Avenue to the south is a place where independent stores thrive. In the Buckhead Village area, shoppers will find a neighborhood that has transformed into a top Atlanta destination for shopping and nightlife. The former residential area now houses businesses and restaurants in tree-shaded cottages steps from the Buckhead Triangle, and Sardis Way, located in this area, was named for the wife of pioneer settler Henry Irby, who owned the landmark general store that gave Buckhead its name!

Shoppers will find the some of the city’s most popular restaurants and bars, but there are also many locally owned shops, a farmer’s market, consignment shops, art galleries, cafes and, of course, unique boutiques. Popular shops include Boxwoods, Labels After 5, Maria Heckscher Salon, Paces Papers and Pieces. Try dining at Buckhead institutions like Basil’s Restaurant and Tapas Bar, Chops Lobster Bar and Cafe Agora, or head out later for fun at Five Paces Inn, Johnny’s Hideaway, Buckhead Theatre and others.
