About Us

Established in 2000, Philosophie has become the go-to boutique
in the heart of Carytown, attracting fashion enthusiasts eager for
a personalized shopping experience. Owned and operated since
2015 by former sales associate Ruba Borgard, Philosophie embodies
a Soho-style ambiance that caters to women seeking versatile and
on-trend wardrobes. Ruba and her knowledgeable sales staff excel at
styling customers, fostering lasting relationships that bring clients
back season after season. The boutique’s distinctive charm is highlighted by its authentic tin ceiling, beautifully textured gray walls, and custom-made fixtures, creating an inviting atmosphere for shoppers.  Rather than merely stocking the latest trends, Ruba crafts a unique interpretation of contemporary styles tailored to the tastes of Richmond women—from recent graduates to grandmothers. Philosophie proudly
offers clothing lines unavailable anywhere else in town, ensuring
that each visit is a fresh discovery.
