I just want to give a quick shoutout to this store! Me and my sisters went there about 2 weeks ago…read moreto get permanent bracelets which we absolutely LOVE. The service was amazing and the quality that you get is incredible. I also purchased a necklace that unfortunately broke within a few hours and I couldn't drive back because I was from out of town and flying back to Boston the next day. I called the store and April ( who was wonderful) helped me. She shipped me a brand new one to Boston and no extra charge. I'm wearing the necklace now and I'm absolutely in love. When I am ever back in that area, I will definitely go back !

My sister and I had made an appointment to get matching permanent jewelry as we recently celebrated…read morea birthday and wanted to commemorate the occasion with something special. We drove from Durham for the appointment and unfortunately, upon entry, were received with abysmal service and (lack of) interaction with the staff. No one greeted us in or even acknowledged our existence until one lady finally stated, "you my 3 o'clock?" As she proceeded to keep walking into the back before we could respond. She later returned and sat at the jewelry station staring down at her phone and continued to ignore us. Needless to say we left immediately. It's really disappointing, especially when you want to support a local business and do something special with your twin.

My favorite shopping boutique for women in the research triangle (even compared to Raleigh and…read moreCary)! The store has agolde, barefoot dreams, Claire V., Varley, mother, frame, pistola, (some bright colors but mostly causal basics and neutrals)! A solid ocean of higher end clothing but usually you can catch a sale on their tank tops, denim shorts and a jean bar, oversized tees, casual blazers, boots, sandals, maxi dresses, sunglasses, and brass jewelry. The sales team is really friendly and will give honest feedback- which we always really appreciate (especially Sadie)! Such a cool store, very Los Angeles / California style clothing... cozy pajamas to desk to drinks. They also have a good size range of most brands xxs-size 32/extra large -- which is really refreshing to find great options for the plus sizes!

I really like their clothes because they are modern and affordable however well-made. When I walked into the store yesterday they had free apple cider that you can sip on while walking around and shopping. Besides clothing they also have jewelry and candles and cards and little knickknacks. There is a kids section with kids toys and books about how to be inclusive. I love their vibe and it's a very nice store which also has Instagram stories weekly so you can kind of see what they have in stock before you go there. It is a small business so it's nice to shop small.

The Pygmalion reference as a store name is subtle. I get it; but don't quite see the link with how…read moretransformed or brought to life you'll be if you shop here. Despite that, I found Galatea to be a classy store but with a bohemian laid-back vibe. The separates were mostly of softer, less constructed fabrics, and of styles you don't see in the mass market stores. The fabric textures could work well for both casual or professional wear. It's always good when you can add something to your wardrobe without fear of seeing it on someone else the next week. With that; however, Galatea isn't someplace for young fashion, but rather a store for the woman who feels young at heart without necessarily being slotted into the "middle-age" genre of clothing. The clothes aren't inexpensive, though, so be prepared. Galatea also has some truly beautiful jewelry, scarves and handbags to complete whatever look you're after. The ladies working here cheerfully answered my questions and made recommendations on some of the jewelry I was perusing, but were not pushy, overbearing , or shadowing me around the store like some crazy stalkers. It's not a place I'd gravitate toward, mostly because it isn't my style; but I wouldn't mark it off my list if I needed something different.

I have shopped at Galatea for years and enjoy the curated selection of items that is different from…read morewhat you'll find at mall stores or even most traditional boutiques. Many of my Galatea items become favorites and get worn out because I reach for them so often. The prices aren't super cheap, but since I end up wearing the items for a few years they actuallyl become bargains. I'd rather pay $75 for a shirt I wear 100s of times than $12 for one that shrinks weird after two washings and has to go to the thrift store. The styles are mostly comfortable and unusual, but work well for artsy or relaxed offices, low-key dressy events and socializing. A friend characterized the clothes as "California" in style. The store stocks several Made In The USA brands and lots of organic cottons, linens, etc. They also have lots of locally-made jewelry, handbags, candles, etc. While it's a grown-up, non-trendy women's store, my 15-year-old has been known to pull an item off their substantial consignment racks in the back of the store and make it work in her teen wardrobe (she's a Free People, Madewell, Urban Outfitters shopper usually.) The staff is friendly and very low-key. If you prefer shopping without having to make idle small talk, they will allow that. If you want assistance and like talking through your wardrobe choices, they will do that as well. Bonus: they sell Locopops popsicles which is always nice on a summer afternoon!

We absolutely recommend this store, and are so thankful to have found it! We're in town from NYC…read moreand our dancer was in desperate need of pointe shoes. After a terrible visit to a different area dance store, we were so relieved to find the level of service and knowledge here to be so excellent. Our fitter was incredible, and really helped our dancer problem solve (dancer's normal shoes are experiencing a supply shortage and her feet have pretty specific needs.) We were impressed with not only how decent this store's stock is, but also how hard our fitter worked to find back-ups for our dancer. She was more than willing to keep pulling shoes and trying different combinations. Additionally, she was very knowledgeable and would share her observations on each fit, but she was also completely respectful of our dancer, listening to her thoughts on each pair. We went in hoping to find even one pair of shoes and found four. This shop saved our dancer's last two weeks of SI! Definitely the best fitter in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary area!
