In early December they posted a beautiful pyrite bracelet on their Instagram, and I immediately knew it was what I wanted to get my girlfriend for Christmas -- she loves pyrite and loves Revival! I know Revival is a small shop mostly focused on local business, but I figured it was worth a shot to contact them and see if I could purchase the bracelet from afar. To my happy surprise, the owner Ashley was on it! Not only did she say she could get it to me in time for Christmas, but she even sent me photos of a couple of the different bracelet options on her own wrist so that I could choose from among them, in context. And the cherry on top: the bracelet was about half the price I was expecting! And, of course, my girlfriend absolutely loved it. Thank you, Revival! I can't wait to visit again next time I'm in town.

You want to impress others with the number of items that are not to be found in other homes, because they are scarce to begin with.

The space consists of a lofty downstairs and a cozy little upstairs area, and is located right in the heart of Seattle's most exuberantly queer neighborhood. And this store can hang. The selection of art, clothes, jewelry, gifts, cards, and more is both extensive and carefully currated. This is my go-to spot for a last-minute gift that is unique and thoughtful. And the owner is fantastic!! Aside from being a warm presence as you browse the store, she is also clearly devoted to quality. I once bought a tarot deck that had been used as a display, and she told me to make sure and return if any of the cards were missing... They were not, though, because as I said, Retail Therapy is just that good.

The atmosphere is incredible, and the collection of throwback jerseys and merchandise gives you that classic, good old-school feeling that sports fans can appreciate.

It was nice as the crowds were nonexistent (nice during the pandemic). I discovered this store on the 2nd floor and adored this place. It's small in size and has little or big treasures in every corner. It's not over crowded like many of the little stores in PPM. It as a nice boho feel with African, Indian and other culture art, trinkets, jewelry + more. I found a beautiful crystal snowflake ornament (I wish I purchased more than one). The price was incredible and I look forward to looking at it next Holiday season. Nice staff, beautiful items - I highly recommend this store!

The jewelry section particularly caught my eye and I loved that they sourced from local Seattle brands! Cute, great quality, AND local. My only note is that the staff was a bit standoffish. They were cooped up in the corner complaining about something that I didn't quite catch.
