Shanlee Johnson, owner of Little Birdies Boutique, graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology and formerly had store locations in Georgetown and Tyson's Galleria. She was also part of a pop-up space in Old Town at 116 King St.
In 2017, Johnson premiered her very own line of children’s clothing, PineappleSunshine, with stylish children's items made of 100% Peruvian Pima Cotton, the softest cotton available on the market. Johnson is also the author of the best-selling children’s book, Toco Can Can: and you can too!
"A store as beautiful as it is unique, Johnson embodies a Southern approach to children’s wear, offering nostalgic, hard to find, traditional clothing mixed in with fun, playful styles," according to the company.
“Being a part of the charming historic district of Old Town Alexandria has always been a dream” says Johnson. “Having been a part of the former 116 King Street Pop-up, we realized what a wonderful community there is for small business here in Old Town and knew we wanted to be a part of it. It’s a dream come true!” Johnson said in a press release.
And grand opening party will be hosted on April 25.
The retailer is next to Madame Coco's Emporium And Everything Chocolate, which plans to open this spring.
