We were visiting from out of state and took a quick trip to the island (in retrospect, we should…read morehave allowed for a lot more time to explore). The shop window looked nice, so I stopped in - and ended up buying two very cute shirts on their last day of 20% off for "friends and family." If I had more time, I could have probably found a lot more! I ended up wearing one of the shirts home on the plane. The clothes are stylish and definitely classic - pretty, upscale versions of the preppy items you probably already own (button downs, cashmere sweaters, chinos, etc). I bought a white button down shirt from a new-to-me brand and it has the most beautiful texture - it's classic, but "elevated" and I know I'll wear it frequently. The service was friendly, but not hovering - which is exactly how I like to shop.

If contempt for customers were a business model, this shop would be thriving. Unfortunately, it…read moremasquerades as a consignment boutique while being helmed by one of the most astonishingly rude and unprofessional owners I've ever encountered. I entered as a visitor to the island, genuinely excited to browse and even went out of my way to compliment the inventory--despite the laughably inflated prices that would make even luxury resale shops blush. That courtesy was clearly wasted. When I asked to see a pair of Red Bottoms, the owner sneered and announced the price as though she were issuing a challenge. Upon my perfectly reasonable response that I'd like to see them, she laughed and asked, "Are you sure?"--a remark dripping with smug judgment and barely concealed disdain. Let me be clear: this was not "banter," nor was it misunderstanding. It was a deliberate, classist attempt to belittle a customer. To be treated with such open contempt in a retail environment is not just off-putting--it's remarkable in the worst possible way. Save yourself the time, the walk, and the insult. This store offers nothing you can't find elsewhere, minus the humiliation. Stay away.

Not really my personal taste, as far as the style of clothing goes, but I have to admire the quality of the clothing and shoes and boots and accessories here. Excellent quality and unique wares for this demographic of shoppers. Large selection of footware (many European, that I've never seen before. This is definately the place to go for leather European clogs!). They play super music (Motown was on when I was last here), and there are comfy couches (usually you can find the menfolk resting here, waiting patiently for their lady friends to be done shopping). The women who work here are lovely, too, and helpful. I should note that there is an AWESOME clearance section in the rear of the store. There aren't many sizes of items there, so you have to be lucky to find your size in a shoe or boot or clothing you want, but boy, the deals are great in this area.

Great clothes for women of all ages now! PS they also have fun little gifts (candles, jewelry, nail polish, etc.) Can't wait to continue shopping here!

Beyond the great shoes, Magnolia's also has a small collection of fab purses, hats, scarfs, clothes and beautiful locally made jewelry.

From…read morethe entryway, it really looks like a huge hodge-podge of women's clothes and accessories, all jumbled together. And some things look dinky or tacky, for lack of other descriptive adjectives. (If you browsed the store, you'd understand. There are strange purse accessories and toys, even, that seem poorly made). But then, voila! I always stumble upon something really cool! Like, they have an area of socks for sale on a wall display that are really well-made, in many different unique and funky themes and colors (I always find the best socks for gifts here for everyone I know!). There are some beautiful scarves. The clothing is not my personal style (seems like more of a matronly aestheic in the clothing department), but they have a really great selection of laser-cut dangling earrings in a TON of different designs and motifs (the details are amazing), beautiful pens and note-pads, nice bath lotions and potions, and more. At my last visit here, I found a unique clunky black and white bracelet that clicks together around my wrist with heavy-duty magnets (it's SO cool. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it!). If you can sift through the incenses and strange toys, there are treasures to be found here that you won't find elsewhere.
