Home: About Hysteria We invite you to call or e-mail whenever you have a request or question. We are committed to bringing you a delightful experience Shop Hysteria Hysteria first opened its doors in 1999 as a purveyor of the very best women's accessories in the Washington, DC area. With encouragement from our loyal customers, we freshened our concept with the addition of women's clothing in 2001 and then expanded into a spacious and historic townhouse in the center of Old Town in 2003. In 2004, Hysteria expanded further to meet the needs of online customers. We invite you to enjoy the treasures that the Hysteria Team have found around the world to bring beauty to your daily life.
