Last June, on our anniversary, my hubby and I slipped down to the beach and stopped in, it's been over 50 years now. We bought six items of clothing, and I'm super pleased with all of them. The sweats for me (lovely willow color with a zippered crop top) look great on me, they're soft and wash well. I've worn the black cropped knit sweater many times, it really dresses me up. The hubster got three sweat shirts, and they all fit REALLY well. Not too snug, not too baggy. They look good, feel good, and wash well. We've planned a little day trip to the coast to add more of these quality clothes to our wardrobe.

However, this last time my husband and I went a sales associate followed me around the store like she thought I was going to shoplift something. Her hovering was so uncomfortable I decided to not buy anything and left. It will be a long time before I go back!

In our open-air market located in Duck, North Carolina, you'll find yourself in the perfect place to enjoy a summertime ice cream cone, get lost in the pages of a bestseller, or browse our unique shops for hidden treasure. Here at Scarborough Faire, amidst the natural setting, the artisans, and the families shopping, the atmosphere experienced is decidedly more like that of a park than a shopping center. But make no mistake - Scarborough Faire is more than just a browser's delight, it's a true shopper's paradise. From tasteful home décor to tailored Tommy Bahama shirts or women's plus-sized fashions, fantastic finds abound. From everyday kitchen and bath supplies to fine crystal, sculpture and artwork of every description, toys for girls and boys of all ages - treasures by any measure await your discovery. You'll find scrumptious old-fashioned candy treats, fudge, ice cream, snacks, and delicious Eastern Carolina barbeque, not to mention knock-your-socks-off, award-winning yet unpretentious wining and dining tucked into our garden enclave.

Like I said in my prior (poor grammar) review there is no distinction between sections and everything still looks like it is thrown in here. Another disturbing thing about this place is that the merchandise doesn't end downstairs. If you have the strength to climb the stairs and can stand a little more heat you can venture upstairs to examine more merchandise that is literally crammed into every corner of this place. The upstairs is technically two sections. One side is like is kids section and the other is like a women's clothing section. Really not worth the trip up there if you are neither.

I found tons of pool and ocean floaties, shades, umbrellas, boogie boards, bathing suits, towels, snorkels, etc. You name it, they probably have it. Additionally they have tons of memorabilia for you in the form of loads of coffee mugs, magnets, stickers, key chains and more. Lots and lots of clothing for adults and kids inside as well. We had a good time.

Bottom Line: A nice little shopping center in Duck offering a variety of stores and eateries…read more All of the shopping centers in Duck run together in my head - The Waterfront Shops, Scarborough Faire, Scarborough Lane Shoppes and various others. Scarborough Lane Shoppes is on the east side of Hwy 12 and features undercover parking, meandering boardwalks and a variety of shops and eateries for the whole family. In this shopping center I enjoyed the Flip Flop Shops, The Christmas Mouse, Tar Heel Trading and Toyriffic. I was running out of steam a bit but I would have also liked to check out the Spice and Tea Exchange and Ella's Olive. Also, the scent wafting out of the Fudgery was tempting but I resisted! The shopping center is nicely maintained and there is undercover parking which is great for those bright and sunny days. Also, this shopping center is conveniently within walking distance of several others. Overall, this was a very nice stop.
