Just received my order of various hair accessories from this exceedingly cute and quirky boutique, and it was like Christmas in August!! Not only were the products I ordered unique, they're so much more charming in person! And email communication beforehand with Miss Lena was so open and thoughtful, I felt so valued on top of the sensation of being seen by this rare shop. I'm really looking forward to an in-person visit soon! read more

I discovered Homage during a walking tour of Pasadena, and I'm so glad I did! The store may be small, but it's packed with amazing finds. The jewelry is handcrafted, and many pieces include the artist's name and a short bio, which adds such a personal touch. They also carry candles, bags, greeting cards, and products for men, women, and children. The variety is impressive, and I especially appreciated the large selection of handcrafted items. The associates are friendly, welcoming, and genuine. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and I noticed they recognized and acknowledged repeat customers. That's impressive, especially considering the number of tourists who visit the store. Another thing I appreciated is that they don't overwhelm you with emails. Their emails are event-focused and purposeful, which is refreshing. You're paying for quality, craftsmanship, and unique items you won't find just anywhere. The prices reflect the specialty merchandise they carry and the care that goes into selecting it. Parking... well, it's Pasadena! It can be challenging, with mostly metered street parking and paid parking garages nearby, but it's a pleasant walk to the store. I highly recommend Homage! It's a wonderful place to find unique gifts or treat yourself to something special. read more

Homage is a pleasant gift shop among a number of OTHER gift shops such as The Gold Bug and Retreat. Fortunately, with the exception of cards, they don't overlap too much in terms of their merchandise. Homage carries a lot of work by independent artists and artisans, including fine jewelry and ceramics. They also have a very large collection of fragrances in the forms of perfumes, room sprays and reed diffusers. The last time I was here was with an out of town friend who was really tempted to buy a handmade pair of gloves. She ended up not getting them and called me regretting her decision. So, this place is great for worn accessories (scarves, jewelry, gloves...etc.) and beautiful housewares. The prices are maybe a bit high, but the quality of the goods is pretty high. So, while I much more rarely buy from Homage than Retreat or Gold Bug, I would still recommend a look around. read more

Wonderful STORE! It's a tastic selection with wonderful service. The staff is professional and pleasant and knowledgeable as well as helpful. They have a great selection of unique gifts and jewelry. I always have a great experience and enjoy visiting. I've discovered many wonderful gifts for friends and family. I highly recommend supporting this store.! read more

What acute little store! They have a whole wall of hilarious and adorable cards, little candles, handbags ,handmade pottery, cute earrings and necklaces! If you need a gift for that eclectic person in your life, stop by Homage! We visited on the Melting Pot Old Pasadena food walking tour while waiting for food to be done and I am so glad that we visited! With the Eaton fire sizzling down they have turned the back of the shop into a shop for those in need of basics and clothing. I really appreciated this and made sure to buy something here to support their efforts. If you want a store that supports the community, you have found it! read more

I trust my first impressions, and Homage is a great example. Walked by late on a Friday night, and noticed it was closed but it looked very cool, a place that I needed to visit. Well, we did the next day, and I'm so glad we did. Jill and Todd could not have been nicer to my much better half and I, friendly, helpful, and fun! They have a great selection of items within their wonderful Old Pasadena space, and it resonated with us a great deal. Bought a yellow-colored pen that was much-needed on this trip, and Todd was funny and kind! Followed them on IG and will stay engaged because it's a good vibe, and Jill has awesome taste. read more

Like the other 1 star reviews, I felt uncomfortable shopping. I can feel the stares on my back and not only because I'm last minute shopping for Christmas (it's Christmas eve). I felt like everything I picked up an employee went to that station thereafter to check. I had intentions of buying one item. While waiting for a response from a friend to make sure it was a good selection, I browsed around. I felt as if browsing was a sign of theft in this store. I appreciate the check ins, not every customer wants to be bombarded while shopping. At one point while looking and smelling the smelling jars, a bald male employee comes to me and takes my belongings asking if I would like a newly wrapped bag and says we'll have these at the register for you as if I had held them any longer I would've taken them. I didn't realize I took a display bag since the employee prior let me know "what we have out is all we have" and I might've confused that. He mentioned he would get me a newly wrapped baggu. I just don't appreciate the looks some of the other elderly employees at the register gave and I knew I wasn't overthinking their behavior since when one of their coworkers walked away they began making faces and whispering to each other. It's just a very weird ambiance and experience. I've never felt this way before and hope you guys draw back from further making other customers feel the same way. read more

I came here on Small Business Saturday. It's a cute little gift shop, the items range from affordable to expensive so you can find things for everyone depending on your budget. If you're looking for unique gift ideas this may be the spot. Service was great, the employees were attentive and asked if anyone needed help. There is a parking garage nearby but be sure to check if the rate is okay, there's one near The Container Store that can get pretty expensive. read more

What a cute store! It was really busy when I went in, but the associates still made time to greet me. They had some super cool coffee table books which were beautiful. read more

My friends and I were walking around after having dinner at Fishwives when we came across Homage. I'm happy we decided to stop by. This is such a magical little shop to walk around and see all the neat things that they offer. They have a selection of bags, jewelry, cards, candles, books, pins and stickers, and all sorts of other lovely items. They have such impeccable taste and I have to stop myself from buying everything. The staff is so kind and helpful. My friend was interested in a necklace and the staff showed her that it could be tied off for a different look. She was also very patient while my friend looked through all the gems because they had such a gorgeous assortment of colors that it was hard to choose. The reason I'm giving 5 stars is because of their service. Unfortunately, they ran out of the sticker I wanted. The staff took down my number and called as soon as they had it back in stock. They only order 12-18 of each sticker so if you like it, just get it! I also asked for a little paper bag to hold my purchases and they delivered with a cute tiny bag that's perfect for gifting. read more

Need a last minute gift for someone but don't want it to seem that way? Homage is full of cute and useful items that would make any gift receiver a happy camper. Carefully crafted items with this amount of detail suggest you put a lot of thought into the gift, whether you actually did or not. If you're a friend of mine and you're reading this, don't feel bad. I'm just a procrastinator. Anyway, I've been here a handful of times and their inventory changed almost completely each time. You have some skin products, drinking receptacles, handmade jewelry and other accessories, ornaments, and various home goods. There are lots of puns, some plants and books about them, and other small items. I haven't come across another gift shop quite like this one in Pasadena so I'll probably keep coming back to this one if I have more last-minute...I mean, important gifts to buy. read more

Adorable little gift shop that recently reopened at the bookend of the Shops on Holly in Old Pasadena. Popped in for the first time a couple weeks ago in search of an anniversary gift. Homage offers books, unique cards, vintage glass sets, candles, homemade jewelry and so much more. Prepare to spend some time looking it all over. The staff went above and beyond to tend to me. I really felt they were invested in my shopping experience. I regret not asking their names. A sweet woman practically walked me around the entire store asking about preferences and offering numerous gift suggestions. Once I settled on a few items to purchase another staff member was extremely diligent with wrapping each of my items beautifully. Thank you for taking an interest in my search. Me saying I'm impressed doesn't cut it. Next time I need a gift, Homage is where I'm heading to first. read more

They will follow you around if you're a person of color. It made us feel extremely uncomfortable, and we've been to this store several times. This will definitely be our last visit. Don't spend your money where you're not welcome. read more

I love this store. It has so many unique gifts! From handmade jewelry to incense and cbd oils. The employees are always super helpful and take a personal interest in whatever you're looking for. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the girl who helped me but she was so friendly and knowledgeable about the things they sold. She knew a lot about the HANDMADE JEWELRY. She told me about the great collections they had and knew the names for everything. My random find is always the awesome DECKS OF CARDS. They have decks that I've never seen and they are always so distinctive. I always have to pick up a deck for someone. You can never have to many! I will allllways stop in here when I have the chance! read more

The owner Jill was so nice when I called about the Baggu Hello Kitty & Friends collection. She even went above and ask me which product I was looking for and listed all of them which I truly appreciate since her store was the only one who had them in stock currently until Baggu + Sanrio does release them officially. I finally went into the store and was so happy to see it still available! I was even able to get assistance from her and her employee this tall gentleman. The store definitely feels homey! Love all the cards, Baggu, candles and jewelry they had! Definitely signed up for their mailing list. Thanks Jill! read more

Lovely selection of a variety of items. Walked in for a small bag I saw in the window. Perused some beautiful jewelry and small knickknacks. My friend was enamored with a few necklaces. Great service to top it off. Wish I lived close to this store but I will definitely shop the website. Stop by when in Old Pasadena, you won't regret it. read more

Me and my family decided to walk into Hömage today to browse their selection after noticing some cute items in the shop window. We weren't acknowledged on the way in as we noticed other customers were. They took the time to acknowledge several other customers walking in to inform them of a summer sale going on at the time. The female employee, Jill, walked over to them and engaged in conversation with others except us. The male staff, Cody, stood behind the counter the entire time. Not once were we acknowledged or asked if we needed any assistance. Other customers, even without purchasing anything, walked out and were acknowledged once again by being thanked and told to have a nice day. Even after all of this, we STILL decided to buy some items from their shop. As we walked out, as paying customers, they still didn't even take the time to acknowledge us as they did others. After reading other reviews it seems like this is a common issue amongst certain groups of people. They must lack consistency with ALL customers. They may be catering more so towards a certain type of clientele. The environment here is very UNWELCOMING. We'll be sure to take our business elsewhere in the future. I advise others to do the same. read more

Homage - Receipt of items purchased after unwelcoming experience. - Jewelry Near Me - Pasadena, California

Went back a few months later. It was really nice but the construction out front was keeping people from going in as easily. Upping my rating as it was really me wishing I could afford something in her store than anything less than lovely in there. Old Pasadena rents are high so I get it. The only wish is that there was something in there a pandemic unemployed woman could afford. I got more cards. Just because I wanted to show some kind of support. Go in even if you are poor. It's like a museum shop with carefully curated pieces. We admired all of them. Drooled a little. read more

Love this shop full of wonderful local artist creations. We went by this evening to find something special for two loved ones birthdays. Found some absolutely splendid gifts, enjoyed looking at every hand made item, and had a great visit with the shop owner who wrapped our gifts with gorgeous style and extra care. Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for one of kind, high quality crafted items for themselves or others. read more

Followed my co-worker here as he was looking for a gift for his girlfriend. So to be honest I came in just to follow him and look around. I've never been much of a "boutique" guy, but I was really impressed with this place. Tons of cool, various items ranging from jewelry of all sorts, to neat little books, and tons of vintage looking items. You could honestly find something here for anyone. Long story short, the service was extremely helpful (helloooo free gift wrap), and I ended up getting Christmas gifts for 3 different people that I know they'll love. Good hidden gem in Old Town. read more

Best Little Shop in Pasadena! Every time I enter this shop I am always amazed at what I find on the shelves. Jill ( the owner) puts so much work into crafting her store, and you can feel it the moment that you enter the shop. This shop has everything you need, for any occasion. Birthday? Homage. Anniversary? Homage. Holiday? Homage. And for that oh so wonderful "Just Because" gift, Homage. The knowledge that every associate has about the Artists and the techniques they use to make the pieces help to ensure that your gift will be definitively unique, with a backstory to match. Don't waste your time shopping on the Boulevard. Take a walk down to Holly Street, step into Homage, and experience Pasadena Charm like you never have before. read more

If you're looking for boutique shopping and unique gifts, get off of Colorado Blvd. in Old Town. The block of Holly Street that Homage just opened at offers several small gift boutiques that are worth checking out. I went during the Grand Opening and it was too crowded to look at everything. Homage opened last week. The owner is a jewelry designer - you'll find her wares at the shop, along with jewelry from other local artisans. The shop carries handmade products from local designers, including ceramics and tableware. You'll also find candles, soaps, pin cushions, cookbooks, cheeseboards, honey, purses, scarves, playing cards, wooden utensils and wood prints featuring images of LA and Pasadena. The scarves feature geometric abstract patterns that reminded me of Lotta Jansdotter, the Swedish designer. The items are more expensive than what you'd find at some chain store (e.g., $44 for a mug), but they're local and unique. The wares would appeal to an older (middle aged) crowd. My pick: * Antler earrings read more

This store is the best place to find a gift for yourself or for someone else. It's evident that everything in the store is selected with care and with a great eye. I would love to receive just about anything from Homage as a gift and have bought myself quite a few things since the first time I walked in. Aside from the fantastically curated selection and quality, customer service is top notch. I just bought some earrings for some girlfriends and every single one was gift wrapped for me with even a little removable label on the back so that I could tell them apart. So thoughtful! I really love supporting this store and would recommend it to anyone looking for a gift for others or themselves. read more
