Celebrating Lele Sadoughi’s Grand Opening in the Heart of Nashville’s 12th South District

In the thriving world of retail, Nashville’s 12th South Shopping District has added another jewel to its crown. During Labor Day weekend, on September 2, 2023, Lele Sadoughi proudly unveiled the fifth national store in this iconic locale.

Lele Sadoughi is a brand that sings the praises of intricate detail, quality, and vivid color. Renowned for their supremely comfortable signature headbands, Lele Sadoughi also crafts unique jewelry, handbags, hats, and sunglasses that are a collector’s dream.

Founder and Creative Director Lisa Sadoughi warmly welcomed local enthusiasts and a few select VIPs. Notable names included stylists Lindsey Dupuis Bledsoe and Tiffany Gifford and actress Sasha Pieterse – best recognized for her pivotal role in Pretty Little Liars.

The storefront – reminiscent of a luxurious jewelry box – was adorned with vibrant balloons, delightful cocktails, and captivating illustrations by the talented Haley Maddox.

Catering to the spirit of Nashville, the store debuted an exclusive headband paying homage to the legendary country music history.

This signature piece beautifully melds gold music notes, guitars, and diamond studs over a timeless chevron pattern. Given Nashville’s reputation as a go-to destination for bachelorette parties, it’s fitting that the store also features a bridal section.

Furthermore, Mark Masinter of Ignite Realty Partners and Stephen Summers of Mockingbird Interests introduced a robust lineup of brands set to grace the 12 South Collection, a novel development located at 2803 12th Avenue South.

This coveted list of retailers features names like Alice and Olivia, Hero, Jenni Kayne, La Vie Style House, Lele Sadoughi, Mejuri, PAIGE, Rag & Bone, and Oliver Peoples.

While two restaurant names remain under wraps for now, eager shoppers can expect the retail offerings to commence in early September 2023, with a phased rollout until Q1 2024. The dining delights will follow suit in Q3 2024.
