Just had the loveliest experience shopping at Ivy's. I needed some very specific pieces to take on…read morean upcoming trip, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. They would bring things in to me in the dressing room so I didn't have to get redressed and go out to search for another piece, and they were happy to do it. They're very knowledgeable about fashion and fit and what looks best on each body type. The clothing selection is amazing, but the personal attention is what makes the shop so special. It is so worth it to "shop local" as they say. You will not get this type of smart, friendly service in a chain store.

A friend and I stopped in this adorable boutique today…read more What a gem! We found some cute items and some bargains we couldn't pass up. Kathie not only has clothes, but there are also shoes, purses, jewelry, and all sorts of adorable things. Kathie is so sweet and helpful. She easily found our sizes and let us try on some new items she had just received. What fun! I just loved how our purchases were wrapped in tissue paper and placed in the cutest little bags. Those special touches are some of the things a lady loves about shopping. So happy to have this gorgeous shop in Punta Gorda!

When my husband picked them up he commented the button on the sleeve needed to be moved. She said fine, she would charge him extra for that. He said forget it . Really disappointed. We have given her business and recommended her, but this new pricing is ridiculous. No more.

Fortunately, I recently met Venecia of Footprints in the Sand Shoe Gallery at a Chamber event. She carries the top fashion brands from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Israel, and Hawaii. Venecia provides good, old-fashioned style customer service, taking the time to be sure the shoe is a perfect fit for your foot. Shoe brands she offers include Merrell, Avanti, Spring Step, Aetrex, Fantasy Sandals, Eric Michael, Italian Shoemakers, Island Slipper, Ethem, and Naot. Additionally, she has quality leather handbags, wallets, belts, and hats made from raffia and sea grass. Her prices are reasonable and her customer service is remarkable.

I just bought a pair of beautiful quality sandals in this small but charming hidden store,…read more "Footprints In The Sand Shoe Gallery" in Punta Gorda,. This unexpected gem of a store carries quality international brands known for style with comfort. You will not see the shoes you buy here on every other woman walking down the street. More likely you will be stopped and asked where you found your shoes. And although this is a small establishment, prices were as good or better than the on-line prices for the same brands. Selections ranged from about $40 to $150 dollars depending on style and material. I like genuine leather shoes and was not disappointed by the selection. You are greeted and attended by the owner, Venecia Demeck, who graciously provides the kind of service that makes you feel like a much valued long-time customer. She even offered to place custom orders for me for my favorite brand. Venecia, while new to Punta Gorda is an experienced shoe gallery owner who unfortunately lost her well-established store in Matlacha to Hurricane Ian. "Footprints In The Sand" also carries sun hats, leather purses and canvas totes at prices that are surprisingly much lower than what we've been forced to expect. This little store is a treasure for Punta Gorda and customers looking for quality, value and style without the need to go elsewhere or pay touristy prices.

I had a return when I bought a half size too small for my foot and I did not have the box it came in or my receipt.

I highly recommend this store and their staff.

If you're a die hard Sketchers fan, this might be the place for you! I have worn pretty much…read morenothing but Sketchers since I discovered them decades ago. Until the step ins. I can't stand this style. They slide off my heel, and as they break in it gets worse. Staff says to downsize 1/2 a size. Great, now we're hurting my bunions lol. Ow. I guess fit and comfort are taking a back seat to fashion. But that's okay, Martha Stewart thinks they're a good thing.
