I love seeing mahjong becoming more popular and social again, and it makes for a really cute outing. The only downside for me was the pricing. Everything is very pretty, but it did feel quite high for what you get. I wish there was a deal for buying the mat, tiles, and pushers together. After I left, I happened to look up some of the Mahjong sets online and realized similar ones were available for quite a bit less. That said, the atmosphere and concept are lovely, and it's definitely a fun place to stop in and look around.

I have to agree with other bad reviews, for a local boutique lover this stinks! I grew up working…read morein local boutiques and the number one focus was the customer due to the importance of the customer relationship in a small business settings - however, Val's simply does not offer this . Im not originally from the Knoxville area I just attended school here so I was on the hunt for cute local stores. Val's did used to be my favorite. However, in the last few months i have noticed every time I walk in I am not treated kindly - sometimes I'm not even greeted. I hate to call people out but in other reviews the blonde employee named Emily truly has made me feel unwelcome in the store. In the last few weeks I have come in to shop for new fall statements and walked out due to either the rude tone or silent environment I experience when shopping. Overall, don't waste your time here considering clearly they don't see the importance in their customer relationships- sadly I won't be back and agree with other reviews.

I came home with a new wardrobe and such a wonderful experience being assisted by this young woman who owns this popular boutique. She exudes style, dignity and grace as does her boutique.

You won't be unhappy supporting this small business and with the quality of items you purchase at a very reasonable price!

They also carry regular, non-orange clothing and accessories, as well as shoes, gifts, home and bath items, books, jewelry and more. There's so much to see and this would be a go-to spot for me for gifts if I lived in the area. I went in twice while staying downtown and fell in love with this cute leather cross-body bag. I was curious to see if the brand/designer was local, so I looked it up online. It was not local and the bag was steeply discounted online (50% off) vs the price at Bliss, so I ended up ordering it online directly from the brand. I do love to support local businesses and shops, but I also have to consider my budget. That being said, this is a great place to stop for a unique souvenir or gift for yourself or someone else!

This store is well-named and is bright, cheery, and beckons you inside from the street.

There are clothes/shoes, games, jewelry, skincare, books, TN/Knoxville-specific goods, and knickknacks galore. There are many items that you don't even KNOW you need until you feast your eyes on them. The staff was welcoming and friendly without being overzealous.

They follow you around the store, without being helpful, but rather watching you like a hawk in the most obvious ways. They literally ran into the dressing room area as if I was about to take an evening dress.

I have never been so insulted and belittled in a retail store in my life. For me to have spent that amount of money and yet treated like a thief was unbelievable. I won't go back.

I understand they draw of a flashy post on social media but I hope that these girls learn every shopper is a valued customer. I was not the only person in the store put off by their bizarre behavior.
