It is located in downtown Chapel Hill, specializing in ladies fashion and accessories. They're not cheap brands but the selection is well curated. The staff were welcoming and seemed very attentive the day I went. I think we spoke with the manager, who shared with us that there was another location opening in Charlotte. While I didn't purchase anything last time, I would stop in again.

Thank you to the Carrboro location for your amazing customer service and for holding this shoe.

I wanted to convert a vintage bag chain into a necklace, but was struggling to find proper hardware…read morethat would look good with the chain. (Ex. Size, color, plating) I had checked craft shops and stores, but couldn't find anything that was a good match. Earlier during a quick trip to Chapel Hill, I remembered this shop was in the same mall as Mulberry Silks and we decided to stop in during our next visit. It's kind of across from Mulberry Silks and is near a ladies boutique and the CBD cafe. The shop offers jewelry making tools, beads, closures, and some pre-made items as well. There is a small workspace where you can make jewelry there and I suspect that they may hold workshops or classes from time to time. (There are signs saying that the staff could also try to design/help create custom jewelry pieces for customers if they are interested.) I believe we've run into the owner both times I've gone in and she's usually working on something but will look up and greet customers. If they have questions, she is happy to help. I like that there are closures and jewelry parts available that are 18 KT plated gold, and in addition, there are some gold filled ones as well. We did ask the owner to take a look at our chain to see what size of the 18 KT plated closures would fit or suit the chain we brought best. She pointed out two sizes and felt we could go either way. We didn't have the proper tools at home to install the hardware onto the chain, so the owner was gracious to let us use the workspace and tools to attach the hardware to the chain. Prices for the hardware were reasonable. Also I appreciated that she had the workspace available for us to utilize when we needed the correct tools to add them to the chain. With regard to parking, it can be a toss up. There are a few surface lots you can park in, but one of them is shared with Harris Teeter and can get full.

If I could give more than five stars, I certainly would.

An absolute dream of a camera store. Whether you're a seasoned photography veteran, just coming…read moreinto the hobby, or even just find this stuff cool to look at, this is the place for you. Jam packed with various equipment and supplies, I recently stopped by as this was the only store in the area (with a wide radius set) that even carried super 8 film. With that I also expected them to potentially only have one stock, but instead they had all the options, and even better at very reasonable prices (quite literally no price hike, gouging, anything, was the same as if I had ordered online). So suffice it to say the prices were very fair The staff were friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. A solid stop for all your camera needs, or even just if you want to browse, I would highly recommend and will absolutely be returning.

He honestly told us he thought a three quarter guitar would be a better choice. He did not have any but sent us to a nearby shop he said might have one. That is great customer service.

We've been to Carr Mill Mall for a couple restaurants…read more 1. Tandem (New American cuisine) https://www.yelp.com/biz/tandem-carrboro-carrboro and 2. Thai Station https://www.yelp.com/biz/thai-station-restaurant-carrboro Both Tandem and Thai Station are good restaurants worth visiting. You can read my reviews of each for more info. We might come here for the other restaurants (e.g., Grata Diner, Venable Rotisserie Bistro), but other than that, there's not much for us here. Carr Mill Mall is a shopping mall with restaurants, a grocery store, and local boutique shops. The mall is named after Julian Carr, whom the Town of Carrboro was named after in 1913. It used to be a cotton and hosiery mill. The cotton mill was built in 1898. The original brick structures have been renovated and repurposed into the mall it is today. Like other converted developments across the country, the complex has an industrial/warehouse vibe and it's got some charm to it. The grocery store is Weaver Street Market, a local chain of cooperative (community-owned) grocery stores. There are four Triangle locations. The aforementioned Venable Rotisserie Bistro is presumably named after what the Town of Carrboro used to be called, Venable. The mall is located in/near the heart of Carrboro, within a short walking distance to a lot of local businesses. According to Yelp reviews from 2011 to 2023, this property has been strict with parking enforcement and quick to tow. Being from a big city like Atlanta, I'm used to it, but I wouldn't expect it in a town like Carrboro. I've personally never had an issue parking here and judging from the reviews, I wouldn't leave my car here to walk to another place off-site.

I was also a little wary as I was ordering online, without smelling first. But a $6 a sampler, I figured, why not give them a try? Shipping was only like $4 for first class mail and each time, the package was delivered pretty quickly. Shipped on a Thursday and delivered on a Monday or Tuesday. I was really excited to try out my fragrances but then I think the package was stolen! I let The Fragrance Shop know and they sent out another package so FIVE STARS for customer service! I decided to have the package shipped to my office instead and these perfumes smell AMAZING! Santal 33 was great. I am IN LOOOOOOVE with White Tea, which smells just like Bulgari/Bvlgari "au the blanc" which is a very expensive and hard to find unisex perfume. I have yet to try the other two samples I got in the mail, but I will be ordering more samples and ordering a larger bottle or spritzer of White Tea. Also, I highly recommend trying perfume oils. Way better than typical alcohol based colognes/perfumes.
