woooooooooooooooooooow…read more... How has this place not been reviewed previously?!?! This wonderfully Spenardian gem has been open for over a year and is just what Anchorage needs. It is a ladies' clothing consignment and miscellany store for people of a very specific vintage and eclectic taste. The woman who owns the store has done an amazing job of selecting beautiful items and pricing them perfectly for the Anchorage market. My only complaint is that sizing is fairly limited, but this is to be expected if your short/tall or on the far end of sizing in either direction. They also have and unusual, beautiful bags, hats, and other accessories. They have a few random items such as art and vintage glassware as well.

However, Holly took excellent care of me and made me feel so comfortable. I LOVED that when they set the room up for your appointment that every dress you see you can try on because it's set up for your size! (It can be so annoying when you want to try on a dress but they don't have your sample size in other boutiques) I loved that everything I wanted to try on I could! So grateful for Holly and helping me find the perfect wedding dress for my winter wedding. I will be recommending her and this boutique to everyone! The dress I chose was worth every Penny! Great value for their designs!

My family wanted to take photos so I can remember and look back on the dresses I tried on, and the owner immediately told us pictures are not allowed. She explained she has had bad experiences of brides coming in just to find out the size and style they like, then going and purchasing elsewhere. I understand her point of view but that really rubbed me the wrong way as a customer. I wasn't able to remember any of the dresses I tried on, therefore I ended up purchasing my gown elsewhere. She also seemed to have a bad vibe. She mentioned that getting the "this is it" feeling isn't common then said only 80% of women experience it. The whole experience was off putting in my opinion.

The dresses seemed cheap quality and expensive prices. She didn't listen to the brides opinion about what she did and didn't want. It was just altogether an uncomfortable experience. She was even trying to tell us how to do different aspects of the wedding. I would not recommend this place ever! Anderson's Bridal was SO helpful and had better dresses and AMAZING service.

The Alaska Art Alliance is your must-go destination for authentic, handcrafted pieces made by…read moreNative Alaskans. Their mission is simple - to support and promote Native Alaskan artists by providing them a place to work and sell their art while also promoting their culture and each other. They nurture art and they lift each other up. In a world of AI slop and mass produced junk the Alaska Art Alliance provides a much needed infusion of craftsmanship practiced for generations. A fine layer of dust seems to cling to everything in the store, but it is not the dust of neglect; it is the dust of constant hard work. They have a wide variety of items - art, pins, jewelry, carvings, and scrimshaws and much more! I will admit I wasn't certain when I first passed the shop as the retractable gate and the locked door made it look uninviting. My friend tried the door, found it locked, and walked away leaving me barely time to read the sign that said "if locked call or text number listed" as they would be in the back working. The next day we returned, and after informing my friend what the sign said, prepared to call but found the door unlocked. There were multiple cases full of different items. The workshop in the back looked busy. After being in so manny tourist shops it just felt nice being somewhere that felt real. The gentleman who assisted us was warm and informative. He told us about the artisans, the mission, and all they were doing. My eyes fell upon a jade bead necklace and I was captivated. I had been looking at jade all trip fairly unimpressed because they largely were flat green and didn't interest me. This necklace had character with inclusions and variations in the color. Each bead was unique. There were two necklaces and I opted for the smaller since being short the larger was a bit long to wear practically. The larger, tho, was epically beautiful as well! We ended up buying that necklace and a handcrafted pin. I am very pleased with our purchases and would recommend anyone who seeks authentic pieces to come to this Art Alliance.

BUT Circular's clothing and jewelry are so beyond just "better" than what you usually find in Anchorage. I really think it would be my go-to store if I still lived in Seattle or San Diego. It helps that the owner and employees are class acts- knowledgeable and never snotty. Ex: I ordered about 5 dresses from Revolve.com for Christmas parties this season, and none of them worked. I walked into Circular and within a few minutes had 3 excellent options, all of which were less expensive than the dresses I had ordered online. I'm so grateful Anchorage has this wonderful shop.
