Bonjour!
The Velvet Pug is relocating to Market Central in Memphis this May. Our collection will take its place among a thoughtfully curated group of dealers, each bringing a distinct point of view—together creating a destination for those who value beauty, character, and a sense of history. We will open in early May, with a grand opening on May 9 from 5 to 8 pm. We look forward to welcoming you—both new friends and those who have followed us along the way. Market Central is located at 2215 Central Avenue, Memphis.
