Because the staff…read moreis usually indifferent, the prices too high for my budget or, worst of all, everything offered will not fit a REAL woman with normal body weight. However, we popped in for a look see. Boy! Were we surprised! Personally, if I was treated as badly as another reviewer claimed she has been treated, by ANY employee. for ANY reason, I will NOT keep coming back. Period! The cashier greeted us, was enthusiastic about the merchandise being offered, helped me find EXACTLY what I was looking for, and best of all? The prices! For the quality, very reasonable! Totally blown away! The clothing section, while small, was stuff one can wear "back home" . The accessory selection was just as nice. I'm a "jeans and t-shirt" kind of gal, not a "boutiques" type at all. I went in, out of curiosity, expecting to be greeted by an over-made-up, very bored associate, and way overpriced items.

However, the timing of shopping the day after Thanksgiving was not so appealing since I do not like crowds. The fact that I needed new boots for weekend hiking outweighed my fear of crowds and closed in space. So I set off for the Tangiers outlet mall in Nags Head mid morning not knowing for sure what I would find. What I found was impossible parking, the lot was packed. But I am a sneaky in these situations and stalked my victims coming out of the stores like a lion cat watching it's prey. It only took about 10 minutes and I located someone approaching a car and waited, then pounced. It just so happen I found a parking spot right in front of the store and proceeded to the sidewalk. The lot was clean, the walk was clean and it was a cool crisp day to buy some new boots, hopefully. Just as I suspected the store was mobbed with customers. Enough room to maneuver around and located what I was looking for. It took just minutes for a clerck to actually acknowledge me and ask if she could help. Okay...impressed immediately. I told her what I was looking for and she directed me to a few styles, gave me the info on the incredible 50% off. I am a picky customer, so it did take me a while to figure out design and sizing. But the clerk stuck with me and provided several styles and different sizes all the while it was nuts in the store. After around 35 minutes I was satisfied and told clerk we had a winner. I am sure she was relieved and excited to get a pair of $129 boots for $65. Check out by another clerk was smooth and I was on my way in minutes. I would have never expected this experience on such a busy day and was both surprised and impressed with the staff. This is my very first pair of Merrell's and thus far they have been great.

The owner, Amity was so helpful in selecting the dresses for my daughter's eighth grade dance and they were both so pretty (and age appropriate) that we HAD to buy both. One was by the brand BB Dakota and the other was by Blu Pepper. Both were fully lined AND under $100. I noticed the store had a large selection of Free People and other trendy teen brands. Amity and her staff try to buy the cutest, best quality clothes and sell them at a reasonable price. There really are not many stores where you can find a fully lined dress under $100 dollars. Come visit this store!!! You won't regret it!

I really liked the selection at Amity Boutique, especially the dainty jewelry. Unfortunately, the…read morestaff's attitude was so unpleasant that I left without buying anything. I wanted to see a necklace that was in a case, so I waited patiently until one of the two employees was available. When I asked if I could see it, the employee dramatically sighed and asked which one. I pointed it out, and she grabbed it, put it on the counter, and immediately started walking away. I had to get her attention again to ask what material it was. She responded, "Well, what does the tag say?" I looked at the other side of the tag, which had "gp" scribbled on it. She then said, with an annoyed tone, "Okay, so it's gold plated," as though I had asked some ridiculous question. Then she walked away again. The entire interaction was unnecessarily rude and dismissive. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I was trying to purchase an item from the store. Instead, I was made to feel like I was bothering her simply by asking a question about something I was considering buying. I was so put off by the interaction that I didn't even want the necklace anymore. Why go out of your way to make a paying customer feel unwelcome for no apparent reason? I won't give my money to a business where the staff can't be bothered to treat customers with basic courtesy and respect. If you look at their Google reviews, the staff's attitude is a known issue. They apologize in response to reviews but make no adjustments. It's a shame for a store with such a nice selection and location to have the employees ruin the experience.

I don't usually leave reviews like this, but I feel compelled to share my experience. While…read moreshopping here recently, I witnessed what appeared to be a manager or owner loudly berating a young employee--who looked like a teenager--right in front of customers. It was incredibly uncomfortable and completely inappropriate. Even if there was a mistake or issue to address, there's a respectful and private way to handle that--this was not it. The energy in the store instantly shifted, and it made me want to leave. I believe how a business treats its staff--especially young or new employees--says a lot about its values. I won't be returning, and I sincerely hope the leadership reconsiders how they speak to/treat their team. Friends - Take your business elsewhere!

The store offers men's and women's fashions as well as "Crew Cuts" clothing for children. Overall, the store is very attractive and any time I've been in its been well organized. There is a wide variety of items here from screen print tees to dresses for date night. The outlet is definitely less expensive than the regular, full price store but I didn't feel like I got any bargains here. For example, the shirt I purchased was $52. A similar shirt at the Banana Republic Outlet would probably cost me about $40. Plain gray little girls leggings were about $18 and similar leggings at Gymboree would be about $8. The staff here was very nice. I didn't need too much help but from my limited questions and some conversations I overhead they seemed very customer service oriented. Something I learned on my most recent visit is that you can actually shop the outlet online now. I guess that makes sense since many retailers are looking to capture a new market by offering products at a lower price point and online sales are a must.
