RSS FeedSunday Reading: All About The Gold Leaf Studio Building (443 Eye St NW)

We’ve heard about Durkl, the streetwear clothing company located inside Gold Leaf (as we’ll call it) that makes fashion forward tops, bottoms, tees, hats and shades. Gold Leaf also had an open house this summer but we didn’t know the full scope of the story. You can fill in your downtown neighborhood knowledge with this WP (WaPo) Magazine story about a local creative community that keeps the entrepreneurial artistic spirit alive and prevents DC from being a 100% government town.
