I was vacationing with my family last week in Durango, and we happened upon this store while…read moreshopping in the downtown area. All three of my sisters and I made purchases, including souvenirs, and I bought a pair of sunglasses that I liked. Unfortunately, after wearing the sunglasses for a while the next day, I found that they pinched the sides of my head and gave me a headache -- something I could not have discovered by simply trying them on for a minute or two in the shop. When we returned to the downtown for more shopping a few days later, I brought the sunglasses back into the store and requested a refund. Note: my mistake for not asking about the return policy prior to purchase, hence my two-star rating (not one). The cashier (could have been the shop owner) refused my refund because she claimed the glasses were scratched. If there are scratches, they are microscopic and probably were there when I bought them, because I kept the glasses in my own hard-cover sunglasses case from the moment I removed them from my face on the day I wore them until the moment I returned to the store -- but honestly I don't see any scratches on these glasses. She went on to say, "I don't even think Walmart would [accept the return]," which I found both rude and puzzling. Is she comparing her store with Walmart? Wouldn't she rather compare herself with Nordstrom, where essentially I could return a pair of sunglasses broken in two pieces and they would accept the return? Or a quaint boutique where the shop keeper strives to please her customers, particularly female travelers who are prepared to spend money on souvenirs for themselves and their kids, and with whom you only get one chance to make a good impression with stellar customer service? (Consider that when we returned with my Mom to shop the downtown a second time, I steered her away from this shop and we shopped elsewhere, where my Mom spent a bunch of money buying clothes and souvenirs for her daughters and grandkids.) In any case, I certainly didn't get the feeling that she thinks of her shop as a place where the shop keeper creates a personal and memorable connection with guests -- which is the whole point of my family and I shopping in a downtown boutique. If I wanted to buy glasses at Walmart, I would have gone there. It's unfortunate that I can't recommend this shop to anyone shopping in Durango.

However, from an outside perspective, it doesn't seem like much has changed at all. In fact, I feel like it's gotten more expensive, and more picky with what items they put out on the floor. In general, it just feels like a boutique now. It's clean, well thought out, there are fancy, cool items, and a few more affordable things. If that's what you're after, you'll probably enjoy this thrift store. I guess I'm still stuck in the past, when it was truly affordable and had a wider range of items. When it really felt like a thrift store. Now, whenever I go there, I leave with nothing. I don't think it'll ever be like it was before, and while I truly hope that the new business model works well for them, since their mission is important, I can't see myself stopping by anymore.
