The owner Jekia was in the store when I arrived and she was so sweet and helpful. She gave me some details about her shop and mentioned that there was another black women owned shop just a couple stores over. She even walked me down there and introduced me to her. Very kind of her! Five13 Studio has gorgeous clothing and jewelry items and even some instaworthy spots for photos! I'll definitely be back to shop soon. This biz is located just down the way from Morelia's Paletas, The Cactus Club and The Brown Sugar Collab. Can we pause and appreciate the fact that all of these businesses are owned by minority and/or women!!! #girlpower. This is a great strip of businesses in busy South End.

I just love coming to this gem in Downtown Davidson. Being a Davidson resident, I think it is…read moreimportant to support our small local businesses. This place is so unique and special. I shop here regularly and truly enjoy the experience. The Village Store is part of our quaint Main Street area not to be overlooked. You can shop for housewares, local foods, boutique clothing and jewelry, toys, Lake Life and Lake Norman local gifty items, like tshirts, pillows, tea towels, etc. There is so much to look at here, and trust me, you will find something you love! The staff there is very friendly and the store is so well stocked. The prices are very fair compared to other boutique style stores, but I'd say the Village Store has the biggest selection of home and gift items in the Lake area. They have begun putting out their fall decor, and they really have some beautiful displays during the Christmas season. I really enjoy shopping here.

They have a lot of unique items here, too, encouraging lengthy browsing. I was able to find a perfect gift for Christmas, and continue to visit this store every time I'm in Davidson. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, too. I only wish they were open later on Saturday night (like 7 or 8pm) so we could visit after dinner, rather than having to go before. Definitely check this place out of you are looking for a gift for yourself or someone else!

If it's cute...I make a mental note....if I gasp...I'll walk in and usually will not purchase because they won't have my size. grr. I have to get a dress in a size large in everything so it won't look like a micro mini on my long legs. And Larges tend to fly off the shelves. Lets face it....I'm not 20 anymore and I shouldn't be in a micro anything. I'm all woman..hear me roar. I think this location is a little bit "hipper" than the other location that is in the South Park area next to WS. That location has some of the same pieces but I've been in there and the items would def appeal to the older crowd (40's) and then made mid 20s. Today..... Uptown location made me proud. I had my eye on a Chevron Black and White LONG maxi skirt that was at another boutique in dilworth. I called them and they sold out in about a week. *tears* of sadness. Oh WAIT...I thought to myself...I think Ivy & Leo had the same skirt....I'll check on Monday. Walked in today with a coworker and I couldn't find it on the rack. *tears of sadness* I browse the sale rack as I morn in silence. My coworker said "is this it". A light from heaven shown down with all it's glory as she held up my beloved chevron black and white maxi skirt. "YES" and I snatched it. Thank the good Lord it was a large. I would have probably bought it anyway if it were a small and squeezed my thick'um thighs in it. (Don't judge...you know you've done that before). Here's where I get irritated. I'm happy and I asked the sales girl to hold it for me as I need to go back and get my wallet. I could have sworn she rolled her eyes in her head and I politely said that I would be back...no need to worry. She just grabbed it and said "Name?" wow....someone's got the Monday blues. So I went back and the OTHER nicer girl helped me. Anyway..that's my story. Check it out. It's a trendy little place and dangerous for me as it's on my way to work....blah. I have a shopping problem.

The shop carries local makers and is a great staple in Charlotte! I always find cute CLT shirts, tea towels, koozies, and pictures for myself and souvineers for people visiting. If you follow them on Instagram, they have giveaways and you can view more of the goodies at the shop. Their online site does not do them justice. The market is full of other food places and makes for a good time with family and/or friends! Pro tip: If you park in the garage, you can get up to 90 minutes validated if you purchase something from the market. The kiosk for the validation is in the far corner of the market near the entrance and the wine shop. Of course the light rail is always an option as well and the stop is right in front of the market!

There was a good variety of things and my friends and I all found something we liked.

That kind of welcoming atmosphere makes a difference to me and is one of the reasons I'm happy to support this local business. Also be sure to visit their sister boutique, Betty by Moxie, nearby on Thomas Avenue for women's apparel, children's clothing, toys, and gifts.

By the time the package arrived, the window of time I actually needed the items for had completely passed. When I reached out to request a full refund due to their massive delay, customer service refused. They claimed that because the item was a "pre-order," their standard 15-day shipping window did not apply, and they would only offer online store credit.To make matters worse, I am expected to pay to mail the package back just to receive credit for a store where I no longer want to shop. Forcing store credit on a customer after a three-month delivery delay is terrible business practice. Buyers beware of their hidden pre-order policies and lack of actual refund options.
