Robert Redford-Founded Clothing Store In Mosaic District Closing

FAIRFAX, VA—Sundance, an apparel, accessory and home decor brand founded by actor/director Robert Redford, is closing its catalog and all 16 of its stores, including the one located in the Mosaic District.

The company has 16 locations in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan Minnesota, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. The Mosaic store at 2810 District Ave. is the only store located in Virginia or the greater D.C. area.

"We are sorry, this location can no longer accept catalog and web order returns," according to a flyer taped to the front door.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported that five of Sundance's creditors and artisan vendors filed a legal petition in an attempt to force the company to file for bankruptcy. In court papers, Sundance told the Tribune, according to CoStar, that it had transferred its assets to a liquidator to sell.

Sundance's Mosaic District location first opened on Nov. 1, 2018, specializing in women's and men's apparel and footwear, jewelry, accessories, art and home décor. The brand also offers a collection of artisan-made jewelry exclusively online.

The brand chose the Mosaic District as its first D.C. area location.

"We are thrilled to be opening our store in the Mosaic District in Fairfax, VA, a dynamic and diverse community, one rich in culture and artistic expression," said CEO Matey Erdos in a 2018 news release. "Sundance takes great pride in celebrating the spirit of freedom, independence and creativity. Fairfax is a clear fit for the Sundance brand through our mutual appreciation for independent and creative expression."

In 1989, Redford founded Salt Lake City-based Sundance — the name is a reminder of his breakout 1969 film "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."
