August Georges, originally geared to designers and architects and representing a curated collection of the finest manufacturers and textiles available in the industry, first opened its doors in Georgetown in 1998. In a town beloved by Deborah, a designer with an entrepreneurial spirit, a love for design and a strong desire to create a lifestyle brand. (Just to share, August and Georges are the names of her grandfathers.) Deborah finds inspiration in Europe and the US with a special appreciation for the coastal communities. The opening was featured in Architectural Digest and the brand was born. Deborah (Debbie) then married Curtin (Curt), children were born, business founded, communities and schools supported, travel enjoyed, a world moving fast and life being lived. Things then took a turn in December of 2012, with the unexpected passing of their beloved Curt. Deborah and her two daughters, Eliza and Julia, thus began their next journey down the road of life. With the family continuing to reside in Georgetown, August Georges re-opened in the countryside of Virginia, a few blocks from the Inn at Little Washington. Life continues to happen, post Covid shifting and the need to surround oneself with people, experiences and things that bring joy, become so much more important.

August Georges has always been about taste — a curatorial sensibility built across years in home furnishings and textiles. The brand has never been about a single category. It has been about a way of looking at the world: at fabric, at light, at the quiet authority of well-made things. The customer who buys a hand-woven Italian throw is the same woman who buys a hand-thrown ceramic vase, who buys a perfectly cut linen tablecloth, who notices the weight of a curtain’s fall. She is who August Georges has always served.

The Capsule is its next chapter. A focused Italian capsule that bridges home and apparel — not a category jump, but a natural extension. After all, a hand-loomed cashmere throw is just textiles in their most personal form: the same craft, the same fiber knowledge, the same customer, expressed for the home and the body. One country. Two regions. Four products, perfectly executed. We look forward to launching soon and sharing our newest passion with you!
