I have to echo all of the great reviews here. I have been a loyal customer of Vert & Vogue for the…read morelast few years. Nadia, Ryan, and the rest of the staff are truly amazing in terms of their warmth, intelligence, and exceedingly good taste. They are committed to keeping loyal customers who are happy and keep returning, as opposed to strong-arming you into buying something that you will fall out of love with soon after purchasing. The clothes are very high quality and you will pay for the quality. Because of that, I initially thought I would be getting one or two "special" shirts to add to my wardrobe. But then I found these were the only two shirts I wore. They were comfortable, great patterns, a modern fit, and went well with a wide variety of other pants, sweaters, jackets, etc. (The staff are wonderful at suggesting ways to get multiple looks or outfits out of a few pieces, making things much more economical.) I've since bought (or was given) shirts, pants, and jackets. They've all been outstanding. And after several longer trips (including one to Europe), I've come to appreciate how well-suited V&V clothes are for travel: lightweight, durable, easy to hand wash and drip dry, and hip. Give them a try. Worst case, you'll end up spending some time with the delightful staff in a beautiful store right in our neighborhood. Best case, you'll leave with a piece or two that will become a staple for you, whether you're at Fullsteam, the office, or in Bavaria.

This is a boutique shop with interesting clothing and gift items. The clothing was a little expensive but we ended up getting some sweets and greeting cards.

Follow the side driveway and park in the back.

Rachel was so friendly and…read morehelpful, setting up a fitting room and even finding pieces that she thought I would like in my size (spoiler alert: I liked them). She even brought me some jeans that I ordinarily wouldn't have tried on that ended up fitting me perfectly, so those came home, too. The shop as a whole is super cute and caters to a wide variety of styles and preferences. Sizes tend to generally range from S-L, though I did see some XL. Aside from clothes, Rose and Lee also has cute accessories, some home goods, some dog toys, local Durham/NC gifts, and some beauty products, which all make great gifts! In addition to picking up some new clothes for myself, I was also able to snag some gifts for friends and a toy for my dogs. As I continue to clean out and revamp my closet, I'll definitely head back to Rose and Lee to have Rachel help me select new pieces!

Myny Boutique recently took over Bull City Craft in the Rockwood Shopping Center off University…read more The shop is an upscale, ladies fashion and accessory stop, with beautiful products and prices that will make you wish you had a sugar daddy. Mynt's original location is in Elon, NC, but Durham has opened their arms wide to welcome them. The owner prides herself in styling your wardrobe and even offers 'closet services' where she'll help you go through, get rid of, and re-vamp your style. Oddly enough, my first visit to Mynt Boutique was for a 'pop-up workout', where Katie Corley came in and took over the shop for an hour. Mynt was offering discounts store-wide and had a jean giveaway for attendees. Mynt draws in an older demographic of ladies: late thirties and up with their trendy look but mostly higher prices. But if you can afford it, what you'll find their will impress: booties, long necklaces, earrings and rings and everything from sky blue leather jackets to comfy one piece suites and styling blouses. It's definitely worth a peak if you need some help in the fashion department.

Deplorable customer service: I purchased a T shirt using a…read morepromotional coupon for 30% off. When I picked up the item I asked to exchange it finding it one size too small. The customer service representative said no problem and then spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to do this. Finally calling the owner to ask. The owner then said it would not be treated as an even exchange but I would have to pay full price for correct size shirt. When I asked her to honor the coupon she said she would not. And was going to have my card refunded and not sell us the shirt. This is not a business owner that respect their customers. After wasting our time and being told by her staff that it could be done. Even her employee seemed embarrassed. Will not be giving them business in the future.

So my daughter was disappointed since I've been talking about this place. I found an amazing jacket and necklace roughly $105. The items are more expensive here than other vintage stores. I found an amazing leather jacket for $88 and a wool jacket for $120, but a bit too pricey for those. I loved the jacket and necklace I got so much that I couldn't pass up on them.
