The She's Unique Story
A Unique History
Heritage Site
Nestled in one of Old Town Alexandria’s most storied alley homes, She’s Unique is a destination for modern women who want to celebrate their style. Housed in a historic “spite house” built in 1812, the boutique is a historic gem along King Street. In this intimate, light-filled space, fashion, artistry, and heritage come together to create a one-of-a-kind shopping experience.
Visionary Pair
Originally founded by mother-daughter duo Katya and Sibila Ananieva in 2012, She’s Unique was born from a desire to offer jewelry that bridges the effortless elegance of fine design with the accessibility of everyday wear. Katya thoughtfully curated a collection that bridges the gap between fashion and high-end jewelry. Collaborating closely with female-owned designers, Katya personally selected pieces that can be worn as standalone statement pieces as well as layered to create a unique expression of individual style. Each piece in the store celebrates the creative vision of independent, female designers and artisans from across the globe—jewelry meant to be layered, lived in, and loved.
The Next Chapter
She’s Unique continues its legacy under the stylish eye of Bridget Nistico and Rosio Garcia, experienced entrepreneurs with a deep connection to the local community. Under their leadership, Bridget and Rosio are honoring the boutique’s roots while carrying an expanded vision for the future. With every collection, we invite you to explore jewelry that feels as personal as it is chic—timeless pieces with a modern twist, ready to be styled your way.
