Anthropologie (Philadelphia) is introducing an accessories-only concept by the end of October in Chevy Chase, Md. It is the first of several new retail concepts planned by parent company Urban Outfitters Inc., according to Women’s Wear Daily.

The yet-unnamed brand will debut in a 1400-square-foot space, at 5402 Wisconsin Avenue, and will offer shoes, handbags, scarves, belts, costume jewelry, fine jewelry and estate and antique jewelry.

WWD reports the design will be similar to the eclectic nature of Anthropologie stores, including a gallery-like setting with custom concrete tile floor, low ceilings and a fumed oak floor. Inside, an entire wall is covered in a collage of reclaimed doors, while a 20-foot-long French cabinet will anchor the back wall.
