Ok, I just adore this little local Phoenix shop. The couple that owns it are just so nice. Even when Wells Fargo declined my purchase for fraud protection, they were so understanding as I sat on hold with the bank for over 10 minutes to speak to a representative. It was the highlight of my shopping day... The wife takes such pride in her merchandise and lives to tell the story behind each piece. They feature local artists from Mexico and around the country, so there are lots of stories to share! :D I have been to this business several times and actually make it a point to stop in each time I'm in Phoenix. It's located in a cute shopping center courtyard. The store is filled to the brim with an eclectic assortment of clothing, jewelry, purses, shoes, scarves and art. If you are looking for unusual, one of a kind pieces this is your place! They had beautiful handmade skirts from Sweden this time. They were more works of art than clothing! I always spend way too much, but the quality and uniqueness of their selection is worth every dollar. I just love their handmade jewelry selection. I have a necklace handmade from an artist in Mexico and I get compliments every time I wear it. Support local!! read more

I love going into a place that is so well put together that you just don't know where to look next. So many interesting items grouped together in perfect harmony. I loved this place. Lots of ideas for gifts - birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, holiday seasonal suggestions - I will definitely be back when I want that perfect gift. I know they have it. The owner has used a very artistic eye to create a boutique with a cozy, friendly feeling. I truly did not know where to look next. I found myself turning in circles trying to take it all in. Lots of unique items from Mexico and many gifts that looked like one-of-a-kind artistic touches. Colorful! Bright! Soft! Different textures! Tiny items. Books. Clothing. Toys. Jewelry. Cards. Flowers. (Not sure I saw a purple lizard though?) And someone obviously has a VERY green thumb. The shop is filled with luscious, happy, smiling plants. Breathing clean air into the whole space. Absolutely worth a shopping trip. Maybe I'll meet you there? read more

If you have just moved to Phoenix in a torrid July, here's where you pick up your Instant Authenticity Pack without the trouble and expense of the trek to Scottsdale. Loose, flowing cotton clothing that will BREATHE? Check! Floppy hats? Check! Scented essential oils? Check! Frida Kahlo refrigerator magnets? Check! Small sheet metal lizards? Check! Day of the Dead mariachi bands? Check! Once these needs are taken care of, you can think about larger issues, like how to restore your adorable CenPho cottage and how large a burger you want at the bar in the same complex. With cool, absorbent organic cotton lying lightly on your skin, you will feel much, much better and more able to cope. This is not precisely my scene, but if it were, this would be my first stop, as the selection is varied and not unduly sequined, and the environment is delightful. read more

What a fun place to shop for womens clothes. They have FLAX as well as other funky casual brands. Lots of accessories and a few home goods and children's items. I only wish they had larger sizes not all mediums. read more

I have been meaning to pop in to the Purple Lizard for a while and finally got a chance last Saturday on my way to the Grand Avenue Arts Fair. It is a cute boutique with an eclectic range of items. There was a ton of clothing, hats scarves, jewelry sunglasses ect. There was also a big selection of sundries for home decoration. I found a really cute scarf that I am dying to wear when the weather gets cooler. The only reason I am only giving 4 stars is for the price point. I found a lot of the items incredibly expensive, granted it is a boutique but $125 for a cotton shirt? Meh, no thanks. However, you are guaranteed to find something cute if you are prepared to spend a little time rummaging around. read more

This is one of my go-to boutiques. Always a great find at reasonable prices. Today's finds were a big floppy beach hat and an eclectic bag for a couple of birthday girls I know. Margarete even stayed 30 minutes after closing so I could get my shopping done. Lots of interesting and wonderfully different types of items from hand made clothing to Frida jewelry to gardening decorations. You won't be disappointed, especially with the service. read more

Purple Lizard Boutique - Fun finds always - Women's Clothing Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

I went to The Purple Lizard when visiting Arizona in hopes of primarily shopping for Magnolia Pearl. I had looked online to see what they had and was so excited to see the pieces they carried. They also had many pieces from other designers I thought I would be interested in. But when I walked in I was surprised that so many pieces were not in the store. The owner said that she did have all the pieces online but in another store. If I wanted to see any that she could have them brought over. The problem was I couldn't remember which items they carried and she didn't say that she had a list. I thought I'd be able to see everything in the store. This made it very frustrating and I walked out without buying anything. The store was packed full of small things but what was shown online was not in the store. Thank you... read more

This place is absolutely adorable and has a fairly extensive Day of the Dead knicknack selection (magnets, nightlights, wall art, greeting and post cards, jewelry...). If you are looking for a unique gift but aren't quite sure what you are looking for, I would definitely recommend this little shop. I picked up a few beautiful cards and some earrings and the prices are reasonable. read more

The Purple Lizard is NOT a reptile store but a very unique boutique! It is hidden behind the great burger joint "The Hamburger Works". If you need a gift, clothing, jewelry, art, or just a card of someone that has absolutely everything...........this is the place to come. I am positive it is here that you will find a one of a kind item !! It's fun to have lunch next door then just browse this unique treasure chest. My last purchase was an awesome oversized beach hat from Australia !!! love it !!! read more

Love this place. The owner has a great eye and nice to boot! Refreshing place to shop. Go check it out!

Last year when I was taking care of my niece's Flat Stanley, one of his last stops before heading back to Ohio was Purple Lizard Boutique. We were buying desert seeds for the class to plant a piece of Arizona. Fond memories of his visit, that's true. And today PLB came to the rescue again! Another office called ours to see if 1) I knew what sugar skulls were and 2) where to find them. The ladies were betting against each other on the former, and I won a former coworker a whole dollar for knowing exactly what they were talking about. The latter, however, proved to be quite a challenge. I thought *maybe* La Tolteca, but that was a bust. Then I called Ranch Market III, but they never picked up the phone. A quick Google search brought up The Willow House. In case you're not familiar with this place, it's because it closed. On a whim, I called the business that took its place: Hob Nobs. Surprisingly, they did have these elusive skulls. But they all sold out. And their supplier only made one batch. Digging deeper, I found a sugar skull distributor who listed PLB as their only Phoenix retailer. Score!!! While there are no longer any decorated skulls, the employee stated she would be more than happy to show me some simple decorations to do at home. Well, how about that? read more

So many great artisans to shop from, I don't feel like I'm surrounded by Made In China junk.

This place has neat gifts, bags and accessories and the atmosphere is unique. As far as clothing goes there isn't much of a selection.
