I have washed it 4 times, using their recommendations, and it is full of pills shedding everywhere. I did contact customer service, they questioned how I had cared for it and told me there was nothing they could do and it was environmental and something I did to it:( this is a company that stands for years of quality..sadly my throw is not quality. They did tell me I should get a sweater brush/shaver and brush it...I feel like investing that much money in this throw, I should not have to use a sweater brush/shaver.

"I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist." -- said every customer of Velvet Coat…read more Jokes aside, Velvet Coat has been a fixture in the downtown district for nearly two decades. Loyal clients. High quality women's apparel and shoes. A GORGEOUS, light and bright store. And friendly, kind service. To be honest, the high price tag most of their items have is a bit out of my budget. And with over half a dozen other women's boutiques in the area, I'd probably choose to shop at any of them. BUT I appreciate what this women-owned shop brings to Iowa City. Upscale goods not offered elsewhere in the area and a pleasant shopping experience. This is one of two locations in the state of Iowa (the other is in DSM.) If you're in need of women's apparel that is unique to the area and don't mind spending a bit more for it-- come shop local at Velvet Coat. It's approachable and fashionable! And probably is cheaper than a psychiatrist.

Most reasonable businesses do not want to sell you a faulty product. So, I called and they indeed offered exchange/credit. No problems with that, they seemed happy to help.

Still, well worth the walk around and probably difficult to not leave with something. Still plenty of reasonable priced items, and ton of selection.

How many times have you ever been to an outdoor outfitting store only to find that the employees…read morehave as much experience in the outdoors as your typical Eddie Bauer catalog model? That's the worst. Not here! The employees at this store know what they are talking about. They have hiked, skied, snowboarded, backpacked, camped, kayaked , canoed, you name it. Not only have they done it all, they are excited to help you find the right kind of gear to help you do it all. The store is very well stocked with everything you could need to explore your world. They have all the major brands as well as numerous local brands, as well. Plus, they have speakers and events to increase that sense of community. This has now officially become my go to spot for when I need any kind of outdoor gear.

This particular location is kept very organized, and the sales associates are good about checking to see if they can help you find something. In the age of online shopping, it's easy to look online for some things, but I personally prefer to shop for things like towels and linens in person and this location has a variety of options and a nice show room. My partner and I have a bar we bought here in our home and it's held up well over the last few years. Sure, it was a pain to put together, but we were really happy with the end product and it's stood the test of time. On my most recent visit, I had some trouble getting my email 20 percent off coupon to work, and the sales associate took a look at the coupon on my phone and was kind enough to honor it even though I clearly needed to print it out to use it.

I'm a newbie to the area and they were super welcoming (obviously they want my business-I'm in the market for all new stuff in my condo!) but they did a good job being genuine as well. I love that if you aren't happy with something you can bring it back as well.
