The Beautifully decorated for holidays, and friendly service takes this little gem to the top tier of hotel gift shops. You can find lovely and unique items here easily. Prices got from moderate to high end. They carry several local pieces/designer items and have a nice selection of these things on hand. Even if you're not staying in the hotel, this is still a nice place to stop and shop. Especially during the holiday season when it's fully decked out with several exquisitely decorated Christmas trees. Absolutely beautiful!

I participated in a secret santa gift exchange for work and wanted to #supportlocal #supportnola…read morewhile still respecting the recipient's wish list. I had two key words to go off of: tea and candles. Hmmmmm.... I had my friend Eric tell me about The Collective Shop a few months back when he bought some prints and I obsessed about them at his house. I was told it had recently opened on Magazine Street (this was around Halloween) and it was not only #blackowned but #womanowned and #opentoall ! *sold* I had this ace in my pocket for a while now but wanted a reason to shop for someone else, besides myself, and have a proper visit to explore and shop. I'm notorious for buying gifts for myself then as I'm in my car realized that I needed to shop for whatever the occasion was for. The shop is so stinking cute and is about 2-3 blocks away from Drink Beauty. Honestly, I love taking a stroll on Magazine Street and just basking in the ambiance. Once I found the cute little shop, I made my way in and fell in love at first sight. Had the chance to meet Alysia, one of the owners and she showed me around. I had asked her if they offer shipping and they do if you hit a certain threshold. WINNING I mentioned about my secret mission and wanted to make sure this could be sent incognito. She was super awesome and handled the details once I provided the address. I even left the items there since I needed computer access to her address. They have their own loose leaf tea and were super informative on which ones work with alternative milks and best for chai lattes. What won me over though were their #vegan candles which Alysia and Toni make in-house! I took a few sniffs and selected my fave two scents. The smaller ones were $8 a pop and the larger ones were around $14. You can find tons of knick knacks around here and make sure to ask which items are made in-house. Really loved my experience here and this shop implements COVID-19 safety practices! I snagged my secret santa gift for a little over $30 and left with a huge smile on my face. I hope CM Anne F. likes it just as much when it arrives to her doorstep.

Vintage 329 offers a beautiful selection of items, including an impressive collection of Chanel…read morecostume jewelry. The staff, especially Ashley, were friendly, professional, and responsive, even following up on an item that was promised after my visit. That said, my advice to future shoppers is simple: research before you buy. Chanel costume jewelry carries a premium because of the brand, but it is still costume jewelry and often does not contain precious stones or metals. I learned too late that some of the pieces I purchased were priced at more than double their market value. To be fair, I take responsibility for not taking a moment to compare prices online before making my purchase. The sales experience was persuasive, and I was led to believe I was receiving a significant discount. In hindsight, a quick search on my phone would have provided valuable perspective. This is not a reason to avoid shopping at Vintage 329. The merchandise is unique, stylish, and fun, and the staff were genuinely pleasant to work with. However, buyer beware: take a few minutes to research the item, understand its current market value, and make an informed purchasing decision. Doing so can help you avoid overpaying and ensure you feel confident about your purchase.

One thing to keep in mind, once inside this business, due to all of the items they have to offer and all of the customers who love this shop, you may find it to be a little be crowded. That's just something to keep in mind, as you can feel pretty cramped inside, if there's a lot of shoppers. Overall, this is one of the best bead shops around. Definitely worth the visit.

Too many beads to look at. This place is stuffed with beads. All kinds, but everything is organized. There is a method to the madness. Staff recommend that you grab one of the small baskets that include small plastic bags and a pen. You place your selection in the baggy and write down how much it costs on the outside of the baggy. There are strings of beads hanging from the walls. Beads and clasps in bowls and dishes of various types, shapes, and sizes. A large assortment of chains, cut to desired length. Everything necessary to create your own custom jewelry. There were some serious bead shoppers in the shop. One of the ladies was assisting a mother and daughter duo the entire time I was looking around. They were still there when I made my purchases and exited. I purchased the cutest miniature tea cup and saucer and a faux pearl in a shell. There's even a back room where things have already been made. The staff are friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. The back of the business card: Beads; jewelry; findings; beading supplies; classes; repairs; charms; kids and adult parties; custom designs; wedding jewelry.

As much as I would love to spend $1400 on a silk dress, it's just not in my budget. Be that as it may, the items here are really lovely and worth the money, I think. They had sunglasses that were a few hundred dollars and equally expensive household items. The staff was very friendly and asked me if I needed help. I considered asking them if I could get a loan to buy some of their clothing, but I resisted. I probably won't shop here again, but that isn't their fault. This is a "it's not you, it's me" situation. I do love the layout of the store and the decor is just lovely. Really everything here is quite "high end" and the shopping experience feels special.
