I recently purchased custom Cartier glasses from Tom Kirkland Opticians in Richmond, VA, and the…read moreexperience was exceptional from beginning to end. Tom and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to ensure you get exactly what you're looking for. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service truly stands out. I worked directly with Tom and Susan throughout the process, and both were fantastic. Susan especially deserves recognition for being so patient, responsive, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. The finished Cartier frames exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for luxury eyewear and a first-class experience, I highly recommend Tom Kirkland Opticians!

Mr. Tom handled my Jacques Marie Mage frames with expert precision and genuine care; the kind of craftsmanship you only find from someone who takes pride in every detail. Ms. Kim and Susan completed the experience with kindness, professionalism, and the type of hospitality that makes you feel seen, not rushed. If you value honesty, skill, and a family dynamic that makes you feel at home, this is the place. I'm grateful for their service and wish this business nothing but continued success.

The selection has drastically changed but not to where if you're looking a quick outfit to a cookout or club. There was rarely anything suitable for work attire. To be honest it's a hit or miss when shopping here. Maybe they should ask what the people are looking for instead of having clearance sales on items that should be donated to Goodwill or trashed. I'm guessing they are still in business for their targeted customers.

They had some amazing book options and clothing options for my toddlers, but they were a bit pricey. This isn't something I am complaining about because it is their store and they can create prices as they choose, but I would have to shop there for clothing for special events where my toddlers would wear the clothes and then take them off otherwise they'd be covered in paint and markers from daycare. There were PLENTY of African American book options for my household and quite a few options for educational toys. They also have book signings on a regular basis and it was an all around well rounded age appropriate store for my children. Will definitely go back and visit.

What impressed me: -Everything is clean, bright, and in good repair. There's a heavy duty sewing machine and repair station visible in the store. It's clear he repairs any imperfections before things go on the shelves. -The employee(s) are incredibly knowledgeable. -The place has a ton of outdoor books and trail maps. Stop by if you want some ideas for hikes in the area. When I stopped in I picked up repair and re-fill work on a Feathered Friends sleeping bag and brought my fiance. We ended up leaving with a bag full of loot. In her words, "I didn't expect to like that store but the clothing is really nice!" We will certainly be back.

I loved this comic store while visiting Richmond! Small store but has a lot of stuff, which I was…read morepleasantly surprised with. They have a good amount of new issues, as well as older ones. They have a huge collection of older issues, including ones labeled from the Silver Age, which I appreciated.

It isn't cheap, but a lot of it is artisan-made. The Gallery is located inside the hotel, it's a mix of a gift shop and a gallery. The Gallery itself is down some stairs in the gift shop section and also near some windows on the same level as the gift shop. They always have rotating artists. In the past, the downstairs part only had art up, but it now looks like they're putting up some things to sell as well. It's free to visit, so if you don't want to buy anything that's ok. The people who work here are always super welcoming and kind. I highly recommend stopping by.

This was one of the first stores in the area to carry reproduction Miriam Haskell jewelry. The owners also produce a few of their own items including pop-art-ish plates with silhouettes on them and tote bags featuring prints of old Richmond postcards. I've also seen funky cameras, felt handbags, earrings made from recycled tin and a selection of note cards and stationery that always makes it hard to leave without something. Most recently I'm in love with the little reusable cloth sandwich and snack bags featuring bold patterns; the glass water bottles and wine glasses that are made to resemble their plastic counterparts; and the wooden "Not Plastic Cutlery" that comes in packaged in a cloth napkin. The fun selection makes this a great place for buying gifts or just treating yourself. If you're there to shop, make sure you check out the front of the store and the room in back behind the main gallery display. There's lots of good stuff waiting for you.
