The Collection at Chevy Chase is a high end boutique shopping center located on Wisconsin Avenue in Chevy Chase, Maryland, just over the border from Washington, D.C..[2][3][4] It is noted for its high end stores,[5] described as a "critical mass of luxury retailers," though the center is only 112,000 square feet (10,400 m2).[6] It has also been referred to as Washington's version of Rodeo Drive.[2][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Original tenants included Ralph Lauren, Barneys CO-OP, Cartier, Dior, Piazza Sempione, BVLGARI, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo, and Tiffany & Co.[13] Piazza Sempione closed in April 2011 and was replaced by Mexican restaurant Mi Cocina, which closed in November 2014.[14][15] Barneys CO-OP closed in 2012. Dior closed in January 2016. A Versace used to be located across the street, but it is no longer there. The surrounding shopping area also has high-end department stores including Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and Lord & Taylor.

The center was developed by private developer The Chevy Chase Land Co., a company founded in 1890 by U.S. Senator Francis G. Newlands who acquired a great deal of property in the D.C. area. For perhaps as long as 30 years the Collection location was a parking lot, and then it took almost 10 years for the Collection to go from the planning stages to opening.[16] The first stores began opening in the $165 million complex[17] in the latter part of 2005,[18] and the center held a grand opening celebration on May 4, 2006. Model Petra Němcová and Chris Matthews were among the featured guests at the opening party.[13][19][20]

The Collection at Chevy Chase incorporates a 9,000 square feet (840 m2) park and a rock sculpture ("Against the Day") by artist Richard Deutsch.[21]
