I'm so glad we made Belle & Union our final stop in San Antonio! My boyfriend and I were looking…read morefor stationery stores when we came across this beautiful shop, and we're so happy we did. The shop manager, Lori, made our visit unforgettable. She was incredibly kind and took the time to show us the fountain pens as well as introduced us to all the wonderful products the shop offers. You can really tell how much she cares about the customers. If you're a stationery lover or even just curious about fountain pens/journals or the paper goods they have to offer, this is absolutely the place to visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in San Antonio. Thank you Belle & Union and thank you Lori for such a wonderful experience!

I got my favorite pair of earrings here from a local vendor (mom and daughter) and I get compliments all the time. I also got a present for my friend here and she loved it. The service was next level - surrounded by bubbly, kind women who clearly love what they do. Loved this place and love shopping local. Will certainly be back for Christmas shopping soon! PS: I actually went there for a Book Fair event and apparently they have TONS of events throughout the month so check it out!!

My friend and I had never been to this antiques mall and we were not disappointed. We both found…read moreseveral items to buy, although none of mine were on sale at all. Something bugs me about not being able to get a better price when I buy antiques. There are also a large number of collectibles here. There was a huge Sanrio section for little girls in particular. While checking out my friend spied several nice inexpensive pieces of costume jewelry. The staff was pleasant and attentive. They do have a few shopping carts which is nice. Overall we found lots to look at, a few things to purchase and a lovely tea room in the back. Definitely worth a visit!

It's like JoAnne Gaines and Indiana Jones curated a smaller version of Versailles Palace for Texas. Though on the pricey side, the items here are of high quality and so beautiful to look at. I am redesigning my house in my head as I walk through the store. Keep walking past the coffee bar to the back; there are a couple more rooms to look at. I only wish I had discovered this place sooner. One of the employees said that they decorate the store and "rooms" for the holidays, and I can only imagine how amazing it must look. It was happenstance that we stumbled across this store. If you're in the area or looking for items for the house, stop here! You will not be disappointed.

Today my friend and I stopped at the Alley on Bitters (formerly named Artisans Alley) to try out…read morethe Bread Box and afterwards we happened upon Iva Style. What a wonderful and unique shopping experience! The staff was so personable (without being intimidating or intrusive) from the minute we walked in. It felt like we had been friends forever. Our four young boys were with us and they were treated like family too. The sweet sales person stooped down to eye level to my youngest (age 3) and gently took the time to explain to him 'why' he should not touch the guitar that was propped against the wall (not just admonishing him for touching it - good teachable moment done with love and respect). Then she followed that up by giving him (and the other kids) a coloring book! What a darling thing to do! The store was covered in unique artwork, jewelry, accessories and finds you don't see in other places. I enjoy a colorful whimsical aesthetic, it was like walking into HAPPY LAND! And oh! my! gosh! The baby & children's clothes are to die for! What a perfect place to come for a gift! We learned about some new womens athleisure & womens clothing items she has in the works. I will be absolutely be back to check them out. They do carry an extensive collection of Meileg dollhouse items. This makes me wish I was 5 again. Our little ones were in wonder (as I was) taking in the experience of the store, but were very careful to look and not disturb. I know it's so difficult to keep a boutique going in this day and age were people want to buy everything online, but what would we do if we didn't get to actually see and enjoy these treasures in person any more? What fun would life be then? I think it's important to visit your local businesses and help out where you can. We learned Iva Style is also a woman owned business, and I commend her for making it through Covid. Hopefully the rest of the Artisans Alley will soon come back to life. It does look like its had a few hits but WE all carry some economic power to help bring these fun places back to their former glory. Its a perfect place to go have a girls day (my husband enjoys too) without having to drive all the way to Boerne or Fredericksburg. They have a wine bar where you can get a charcuterie board some other shops that are truly gems, like a balloon specialty shop! Definitely check out The Alley on Bitters.

I would say that this just isn't the place for me, but I actually found some cute coasters for a friend's housewarming present and a pair of earrings for myself. By the time I got home, the earrings broke- I had to use krazy glue to get a gemstone back on, and then the first time I wore them, the post fell off the actual earring! It was children's quality jewelry with a grown-up $18 price tag. If I didn't live across the country, I would have gone back for a refund.

At the moment they are stocked on everything Fiesta- beautiful earrings, necklaces, hats, clothing, Mexican pottery, you name it. I wish I would have taken pictures of all the unique jewelry for sale. But, what I did take a pic of was the sweet ceramic pigeon planter I purchased. I can't wait to display my succulents in it. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and took the time to gently pack my planter. I picked up their business card- you can follow them on Social and see what's new to come : )

They have the most beautiful Talavera pottery from Mexico--so colorful and unique, I always find something that catches my eye. Their fiesta wear is super fun too, and everything in the shop just has this happy, vibrant energy. It's my go-to spot when I need a gift for someone I love. Whether it's a birthday, a little thank-you, or just because, I can always find something meaningful and special. And the customer service? Truly the best. The owners are so kind and helpful, and you can tell they really care about what they do. If you haven't been yet, definitely check it out--you'll leave with a smile (and probably a few treasures).

Parking was convenient and the shop was spacious and laid out for easy browsing. We wandered in and out of each booth and found an eclectic selection of items from vintage garb to antique jewelry, books, most reasonably priced. Something I do not like about antiques malls is the inability to have a best price offered or lowered. Yes, the vendor on duty will call and try to reach a dealer for a better price, but it seems they usually offer only 10% if that. Still my friend and I purchased a few items and were happy with our finds. If you like perusing antique malls put Staging Post on your list!
