A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
FEMME FATALE DC
Today, we are one of few community-built and activated spaces in the City of Washington DC.
Femme Fatale DC is a scaling social enterprise between the stages of nurturing and maturing: we need your help to glow up from pop-up to brick-and-mortar permanency.
We are a one-of-a-kind retail space making direct-to-founder funding possible for womxn-owned small businesses at any stage — without taking a cut on sales. Our program closes the opportunity gaps negatively affecting womxn in the Entrepreneur Space.
The Team at Femme Fatale DC is a 10-person crew activating our mixed-use retail and event space serving womxn-owned businesses, their supporters, shoppers, and the immediate community.
Currently, we are located in Cleveland Park at 3409 Connecticut Ave. NW - we are working towards buying the building we occupy.
Reaching the goal of building ownership means consistency and permanency not just for our business but for the more than 400 womxn-owned businesses that have grown through the Femme Fatale DC ecosystem.
WE TRANSFORM
Our programs are designed to uplift, inspire, and financially feed womxn-owned businesses at any stage.
For all, we offer an artful and immersive alternative third space and retail shop.
Our alternative third space fosters transformative interpersonal relationships, creativity, and feelings of belonging.
Based on consumer feedback, we know that we support in-the-moment joy and feelings of sustained contentment for people that engage with us.
OUTSIZED IMPACT
Five years of creating the world we WANT to live in.

BY FAR ONE OF THE DOPEST
Femme Fatale DC is by far one of the dopest brick-and-mortar stores I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I have informed other womxn, and non-binary folk to not only check out the store but also apply to be a maker here. The energy of the store is also something to be admired. It's very warm and such a chill place to be. I'm so glad to have received the opportunity to be a maker here.

AS A DC NATIVE
As a DC native, I have had the pleasure of watching Femme Fatale grow from a one-off pop-up shop to a well-established boutique in one of DC’s most upscale neighborhoods. I am honored to now be one of those small businesses experiencing much success with District Herbs’ line of loose-leaf herbal teas.

LIFELONG CONNECTIONS + BUSINESS GROWTH
Femme Fatale DC is truly my happy place. I discovered FFDC shortly after I moved to Maryland from Michigan. FFDC is where I've built a community and have maintained relationships that now seem lifelong. Not to mention, my business has grown tremendously since I've been an entrepreneur in the shop.
