Talulah Cooper Jewelry Boutique. I saw it and thought the storefront was very unique and wanted to go in but feared "boutique" prices so I walked by. On the way back, I just had to stop in.
Upon stepping in we were greeted and they let you shop the cases without hounding you. When I asked to try some pieces on, a girl was more than happy to help me. She opened the case and let me go at it, I like this place! This is when I truly get to gauge pricing and honestly, it wasn't bad... until I went into the Dafne case.
I instantly fell in love with Dafne's Bracelets. Slightly Boho yet chic, simplistic in a beautiful way. I've just never seen anything like it.
The owner, Haylee, was very nice but she never got up from her chair. She basically answered all my questions with me standing in front of her. I am guessing this it the Armchair she was talking about in her article in the Providence Journal "I get to sit in an armchair surrounded by pretty things."

I asked if I could receive a discount if I buy two and she gave me this speech on how her pricing is very good, lower than normal and I could go check outside myself. Knowing I was being bamboozled, I still purchased the bracelets. I liked the store, staff and this would always be associated with our Trip to Providence (from NYC).
Lets talk pricing -
Triple silk wrap Navy/Gold bracelet
Talulah Cooper: $108
Dafne-collections.com Retail: $88
Online: $87.50 (Free S/H)

Ok, now I feel ripped off, but wait...
Wrap bracelet arch linked with thin chain
Talulah Cooper: $138
Dafne-collections.com Retail: $148
So I was overcharged $20 on silk item and undercharged $10 on the gold. Interesting... I guess it wasn't all that bad.
Knowing this I would most likely stop in again in Providence, but this time I will not be too shy to check online pricing first. read more
