Howzit that San Diego hasn't yelped Le Bel Age yet?!? Well then to all you fashionistas out there in the 619, I'm about to make you discover a real jewel of a place. It's a small funky boutique called Le Bel Age, smack dab in the middle of Mission Hills shopping district on West Lewis. I'm a fan for the simple reason that my wife loves this place. She always picks up some funky jewelry, and the place generally makes her happy. And you know what they say, right? Happy wife, happy life. Ok, so in short, they've got cool women's fashion, cool handbags (my wife picked up one of these too), and lots of fun and cool trinkets to buy. I always let her spend some money here with the implicit understanding that I'll get laid that night, so how can I possibly not be a fan of Le Bel Age? ;) read more

Le Bel Age - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been shopping here for years because the clothing is so unique, fun and girly. Valerie has incredible designers that she carries from Europe as well as bargain finds. She's right now carrying jeans that are only $45. She's got great evening wear, jewelry, as well as fun jackets, sweaters, dresses and tops. I highly recommend this store. I always get compliments on the clothes I buy from Le Bel Age and I feel great in them. read more

I just ordered a T-shirt from this shop and I was so excited to receive it. When I did I was so happy with it. It was a unique piece made out of good material. I started following the Instagram account and I love it! This shop is the cutest and has the best most unique pieces! read more

This store is RAD. Absolutely RAD. I passed by jogging, and was intrigued by the windows. Super cute LBDs, rhinestone and feather jewelry, large black bags with a rhinestone skull embellishment...magnificent. When I returned later to shop, I was not disappointed. Prices and styles for everyone. I purchased a black snake cuff bracelet with gold rhinetsones ($90), a stunning chain bib necklace ($35), black cardigan with black ruffles ($90), a L/S black sequin mini dress ($45), and a black feather hair clip ($25). I had to pass on several reasonably priced rings, a leopard dress they did not have in my size, $110 leggings, and a skull bag which I could not justify. The owner, Valerie, offered to ship several items as I was traveling and could not fit all my delightful new goods in my very limited bag space. Don't miss their store across the street with stationary and gifts. And they LOVE Halloween, so that is apparently one of the best times to visit. read more

We got an invitation to attend a Halloween in the Hills event in this little shopping area in Mission Hills and stopped in Le Bel Age to browse. The owner, Valerie, was there along with one other lady, and they were both super friendly and helpful. I didn't look at the clothes while there because I was too preoccupied with the jewelry! Lots of shiny baubles to peruse here! If I wasn't with my husband, I could have easily spent the better part of an hour going through everything here. Stop by during this Halloween season if you can; the decorations are great, especially their 'designer' skeletons! read more

How I waited years and years to ever make it into this wonderful boutique I cannot explain. Let me explain this...here you will find something to satisfy every taste... Earrings to die for...the most stylish reading glasses and the finest glam headbands EVER! I have them all. You have to go in...just to see for yourself. Remarkable items...just wish I had more money to spend here! I would be there everyday! read more

I must have been living under a rock all these years! This boutique (and it's new sister boutique, Chateau Bel Age) are simply amazing. The merchandise is fresh, fashion forward, and amazing. The selection is updated weekly, and there are always incredible finds. Jewelry and handbags are my kryptonite, and this boutique is particularly dangerous in that regard, as they have an amazing assortment of both, and most all of it is affordable. This is just a great place to come be "fashion-inspired", and be around some awesome people. Valerie is just an all around cool person, and has amazing energy. And as an added must see, her mom is an artist that creates incredible couture skeletons that you must, must see to really appreciate. They are absolute works of art, and I am happy to own one. Don't miss this great little piece of heaven on W. Lewis Street, and be sure to stop in and visit With Love, the paperie and gift shop across the street, while you are at it. read more

Le Bel Age is beautiful. Every square inch is festooned with beautiful and unique clothing, scarves, hats and jewelry, all arranged in such a way that it feels more like digging through a treasure trove than shopping. I was there in November, shortly after Halloween, and the whole store was decorated in gorgeous Dia de los Muertos skeletons. The skeletons were long and elegant and each had a unique dress and matching hat, they were everywhere. The dressing room is huge, full of beautiful hats and headbands, dresses and scarves, perfect for playing dress-up in. The owner of the store was gracious and lovely, and, as I had to wait quite some time for the dressing room (I didn't blame the lady who was holding me up, it's great in there), she gave me a modest discount on my pretty new dress. Can't wait to go back! (And thanks again!) read more

Stopped by after reading yelp reviews as I was in mission hills and needed a quick b-day gift for a friend. What a wonderful place! Spent most of my time with at their paper store across the street. A lovely couple owns both shops. The owner even found 2 perfect cards for a delicate situation and then gave me one complimentary when I couldn't choose! There are gems to be found everywhere you turn- you could really blow some time and money here! Gonna give it my best shot, I'll be back. read more

This boutique is such a special place - they have a wonderful selection of designers (like cop copine) and styles. I always come here to find a special something and I always come away with something. My most recent purchase is a cop copine jumpsuit in tuxedo style (fabulous). Valerie is really great at showing other items of interest. Come alone or bring a friend - it's a fun place. Then, go across the street to their stationery shop called With Love. read more

I've been shopping with Valerie for 16 years!! Her stores on West Lewis St are a 1 stop shop for anything you need!! Unique beautiful jewelry, clothes, and accessories at all price ranges at La Bel Age and across the street find gifts, cards, more jewelry, all things for your home....she has it all. Often times I just stop in to see what displays she has up and never leave empty handed. If your in the neighborhood or if your coming from afar - you have too stop in. I travel all over the country and have yet to find anything that compares! read more

Le Bel Age is an awesome Mission Hills boutique! Valerie is fabulous and I've bought a stylish new purse here as well as tons of awesome earrings. It's a must-go whenever we make the trip to San Diego. read more

The owner Valerie has exquisite taste. This is a one of a kind boutique with something for everyone from 18 to 80. I'd rather shop here than the mall any day. read more

I am new to the San Diego area and miss all of the great boutiques from back home and my other home away from home. I stumbled on this place by accident and LOVE it. Love the clothing, the ambience of the store and the owner. Definitely making this a favorite spot for clothing and accessories. read more

I saw online that this store was having a sale so I came by after work. They have so many good items in their clearance section. When I was rung out, I barely spent fifty dollars it was so cheap. I love the music they had playing throughout the store, very eclectic. I can't wait to come back, I have my eye on a leather jacket they have on a mannequin. Expensive and totally worth it! read more

This is my all time favorite boutique in San Diego!! With its colorful and creative clothing and accessories, one walks into a treasure chest of inspiration and imagination.

We just found some gorgeous pieces for my new mother and sister-in-law! Thank you for all of your help, Jasmine!! read more

In search of lost time? Go to Le Bel Age. The Centuries and the Continents are one in Le Bel Age. Even the chambre de changemont is a sensory enhancement, a small dose of enlightenment and a moment with Indra or some other Deva of beauty and grace. The collection is superb, different all the time, affordable, wearable art. Bon appetit read more

Do yourself a favor and don't waste another minute at any other shop. Run, do not walk! Amazing store and selections. I agree with everyone about Valerie. A gift from the heavens!!! read more

Best boutique in San Diego! Every time I go in I fall in love again with clothes and jewelry and fashion! Valerie provides party dressing inspiration every time I think I can't handle a department store or mall to shop for an event and I always get to take the credit when the compliments start flowing. read more

You feel like being inspired and having a refresher of what/how to wear? Come to Le Bel Age! I'm always amazed by the stores' international inclusiveness, the ahead of time fashion sense, and forever changing magical colors, fabrics, feelings you can tie past and future with a few pieces carefully picked by Valerie. It's a must stop if you are here in beautiful San Diego! read more

This is a one stop shop for all the ladies in your life! I love their selection of jewelry and handbags. I've managed to find earrings for the future MIL and chandelier earrings for my friends... Not to mention a few pairs for myself ;) read more

This review is so long overdue.. I went to this AMAZING boutique back in February when I was searching for a dress for Seabee Ball. The customer service was the best ever! I kinda of sort of knew what I was looking for but didn't know if they could help or where to start. So I called the boutique and told them what I was looking for and they pulled a variety of dresses for me to try on when I got there. While all the dresses were beautiful I didn't find "Thee Dress". So I looked around and cane across a BEAUTIFUL dress that was totally not the style I was originally going for... I tried it on, fell in love and had to have it. The material is great quality and well worth ever penny. They also have another store right across the street from this location with a crazy variety of dresses, tops, skirts, purses.. you name it they have something unique and pretty you WILL NOT find at a regular ol' department store. read more

Le Bel Age - My beautiful dress - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

I'M ADDICTED!!!!!!!! I would give Valerie and the store 100 stars if I could!!! I can't say enough about the atmosphere, the jewelry, the accessories and the clothes. You can literally spend hours here looking at everything that is in this tiny gem. Even the dressing room is full of fun! I have at least 100 bangle bracelets that I've collected from here over the years. I don't think I've yet to go in without buying at least one item. Beware because once you go in for the first time you will be going again and again!!!! read more

My favorite place to shop! Les Château Bel Age across the street has fabulous, unique finds! Valerie knows my size and when I walked in she always has new items to show me. The clothing fits beautifully and the brands are unique. Hard to even think of going to Nordstrom's anymore as the attention I get here cannot be beat!! read more

This quaint little boutique has an awesome selection of jewelry, handbags, scarves & clothing. The owner is especially nice & looks like she came right out of a fashion magazine! The sales associates are extremely attentive to their clientele and have a great Facebook page that posts announcements as well as new items in the store. The jewelry is amazing, it is all over the boutique & makes your eyes just go all over the place! There is layaway which is good because between two or three things it adds up. The clothing is extremely different - not the kind you can just get at Nordstrom Rack. There are brands that are expensive though although with the layaway- it eliminates some of the guilt! I would totally recommend it especially for an awesome affordable gift. read more

I happened to notice Le Bel Age when I was driving down Lewis St. the other weekend. I decided to stop by with my girlfriend since we love fashion and we are always looking for new places to check out. I was very impressed with their merchandise and thought almost everything inside looked cute. The inside was very clean and it had a personal touch. Their clothes are amazing. They had plenty of things that you would find in your local shopping mall, but all at much lower prices. All the items I looked at/tried on/bought seemed like they were made with good materials that would not fall apart or fade after being washed dozens of times. Everything I purchased fits wonderfully and I have received many compliments on the items I bought at Le Bel Age. I will be adding it to my monthly boutique runs! read more

I just stumbled on this boutique the other day - it truly is a buried treasure in Mission Hills, I could not believe how darling everything was and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. My daughter and I need dresses for an upcoming function and we're probably both going to find the perfect ones at Le Bel Age. I can't wait to take her there (even she will be forced to agree with her mom's taste). (I'm just saying probably not wheelchair accessible because it's quite tight inside and there's not a lot of room to negotiate... but I might be wrong about that). read more

So many words to describe Le Bel Age! Classy, friendly, fashion forward and most of all down right amazing. When I go to shop there I know I am getting hand picked one of a kind merchandise. Valerie and Jazmine are like my personal shoppers the way I get one on one attention! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! read more

j'adore le Bel Age! Everything is so wonderful!!! Many of the clothes go a bit outside my teenager's budget, but the accesories are great!!!

Beautiful clothes and excellent service! I purchased my wedding dress there and every piece I buy here is one of a kind. They have the best fashion first and it's never stale or over priced. read more
