Unique Boutique has a store in my block Upper East Side. When I'm in this West Side neighborhood I…read morevisit this location. I am sure I took lots of photos and did a review but they're not posted here. Bottom line is they have a wide variety of unusual items that people donate. I really enjoy looking and sometimes I find a nik knack for my daughter! There's always CD's and books too. I'm recommending you visit either location.

An incredible jumble of a place, especially when without warning, they have just received a number…read moreof enormous bags of donations, which they hardly have space for and certainly cannot be expected to drop everything and process. But when things are normal, the lighting is excellent, the clothes are well organized and the staff is always, and I repeat, always polite and friendly. They are business people and this is their business and customers need to understand that. As with any business based on donations, you can find wonderful things at very reasonable prices or you can find nothing at all to your liking. But that is why Unique Boutique -- and each item is unique -- is so much fun. A note -- someone reviewed it saying "I called to ask about furniture and the guy said no and hung up the phone..." This is what I mean about customers not understanding retail...you asked a question, he answered it and why should he stay on the phone with you ? There is no way this store has the space to accommodate furniture and once that is clear, there is nothing more to say, so salespeople hang up. If you would like them to apologize for not taking or selling something impossible, that is what you expect culturally, but other people do not think that is necessary in what is not a personal relationship. You asked a question, you got an answer, good bye, move on.

They have a lot of items here for resale but I just couldn't find anything. And believe me, I…read moretried. I wanted to bring something home - They have lots of good items -whether it is a dress, a shirt or pants. It was fun to look and take a peek around - there are all kinds of price points for all kinds of tastes. Classics, avant-garde and funky all rolled into one place! So they were giving out champagne and that was nice but I didn't have any!

The scarves are new and they have lots of different colors. They also have a bunch of thrifted clothes and home items. They had a range of prices. The girl who checked me out was nice.

I highly recommend taking a trip to Icon if you love or are shopping for someone who loves unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry, accessories, and clothing. Lara, the owner/buyer, is so knowledgeable about her product as is everyone who works for her. If you're looking for that showstopper piece for a wedding or anniversary or just something for your favorite aunt who has everything, this is the place. Don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself!

The young woman who buzzed me in looked annoyed because I didn't immediately hear the click of the door opening. She, nor the young man eating his lunch, never acknowledged my presence, never greeted me, didn't offer help, literally never LOOKED UP FROM THEIR PHONES. I wonder if the treatment would have been the same if I "looked" differently? Perhaps they assumed that I wasn't worth their time, or perhaps they're just horrible at what they do. Either way, absolutely terrible experience I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
