COMPENDIUM is a hip new clothing boutique that has opened in staid Swarthmore and it's about time!…read more What drew me in today, 4 days before "Small Business Saturday" was the sandwich board sign outside stating they had " American made gifts under $25". Ecstatic and energized was I traversing the store seeing locally designed and hand made items and additional handmade items from across the United States. Everything here is American made. Everything I saw there was pretty and of high quality. Amazingly,I left there with a still heavy wallet even after purchasing 4 Christmas gifts at surprisingly reasonable prices. Kudos to the owners for taking a leap of faith in opening something contemporary and hip in this usually conservatively dressed part of the Philadelphia burbs. Shaking things up !!

They have a nice clearance section but I don't think they are marked low enough (I'm an outlet shopper lol). The sale items are good when they have a buy one get one half offer.

I was minding my business enjoying my shopping trip grabbing gifts for the kiddos and I was excited…read moreabout my finds. Three kids done. Wicked, bluey, SpongeBob is what I got. They had so many options to choose from and actually I'm not sure why people go anywhere else. So I paid for my items and was on the way out the door where an employee was bending down fussing about the door. As she held it open I said Thank you! She didn't say anything so I said it again and she walked off into the store cause she's frustrated at the door. I thought it was rude. An a blah end to what I just accomplished! But I'm not gonna let nobody steal my joy, you have a blessed day mame.

Can get very crowded and they only have 2 or max 3 gals running the store. Be prepared to wait for a fitting room (they are locked) and wait to check out. Not my choice - but for middle-school grade clothing it's fine. I can not believe that "grown-ass" women wear this stuff. Oh - and there are no public rest rooms so be prepared to sneak into Panera or Pei Wei nearby.
