And the inside is so bright with eclectic merchandise tastefully organized -- showcasing shirts, dresses, rompers, pants, jeans, skirts, shoes, purses and accessories... you name it! I feel you can you shop for any woman here, young or old. For instance, our last shopping trip-- both me and my mom (30 years different) found something we liked! That doesn't happen at most stores. You also can find something for any occasion, casual or formal. The brands they feature are trendy and while I feel like the price is a bit higher than I'd want to pay-- they do have sales! I have always been greeted with a smile by their staff. And can't say I have any poor experiences. Parking could be tricky, especially with school in session. I recommend walking a few blocks and parking in the Tower Parking Ramp. (First hour free!)

They have a sale section with great deals and also offer quality clothing at a fair price. Right on Dubuque St in the heart of downtown Iowa City, you can do a little shopping and grab some food and drinks. Highly recommend this place for trending women's fashion!

I'm a big fan of Revival and have been going to this store since I was in college and every time I…read morevisit Iowa City I stop by. I would describe Revival as a Vintage Boutique that buys and resells thrifted and new items + home goods (candles, room sprays, incense) It's been about five years since my return and oh how things have changed! I'll start with the positive first: they now sell sex toys and lube (Maude brand) which is super cool. The candles they sell are so unique and well crafted. What a creative idea to use old fish tins for the base! The not so good: in summary everything's extremely overpriced. Revival use to be more of a thrift store (and yes they still buy and resell thrifted items) but now a large selection of their items are new and well over $100. Mind you this is not a luxury store. Now, I will say Revival has always carried new items and more "high quality pieces" however, today I saw a "preloved" coach bag for $300+ which was insane to me. The selection of clothing is more neutral and basic tones like cream, nude, brown and white. I miss the color and variety that use to be! Today I purchased some groovy sunglasses, vintage Levi Jeans, and some other new goodies. I still love this place and will check it out again the next time I'm in town!

Catherine's 'Break the Internet Sale' simply put, was absolutely sublime…read more I'm all for shopping local. But I'm also a fan of sales and online shopping. Alas, Catherine's has an online store! Boom. I popped on to peruse shirts, pants, hats, cashmere, necklaces and more. Ultimately, I found gifts for the man in my life. Who knew? While Catherine's is primarily a women's boutique-- they do have some quality items for men. I ordered. And had it delivered for free on my door step mere days later. Catherine has got it going on. Check her out online if you're not able to swing by the store! https://catherinesic.com/

Cute spot!!! They have so many options and fun clothing items. I am not big on buying clothes, but…read moreI couldn't help but buy one of the spring dresses they had for sale. All things considered, I also found their clothes to be fairly priced considering the location and quality. The staff were also so sweet and helpful!! I wish there was a Pitaya closer to be, I'd definitely be a regular shopper.

Hello, while Pitaya has cute clothes there quality is absolutely terrible. I bought a top there and…read morethe zipper broke before I could even wear it. I went back to return it with the receipt not even 24 hours later and received the absolute worst customer service ever. My friend and I were waiting over 30 minutes for the manager that the other employees said wasn't even there and she was. I ended up not receiving any of my money back or even store credit because they claimed to see signs of wear when I never even got to wear it. To have return policy be so subjective to whatever the manager thinks is completely unprofessional. I will never be shopping there again and would also discourage other people.

"I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist." -- said every customer of Velvet Coat…read more Jokes aside, Velvet Coat has been a fixture in the downtown district for nearly two decades. Loyal clients. High quality women's apparel and shoes. A GORGEOUS, light and bright store. And friendly, kind service. To be honest, the high price tag most of their items have is a bit out of my budget. And with over half a dozen other women's boutiques in the area, I'd probably choose to shop at any of them. BUT I appreciate what this women-owned shop brings to Iowa City. Upscale goods not offered elsewhere in the area and a pleasant shopping experience. This is one of two locations in the state of Iowa (the other is in DSM.) If you're in need of women's apparel that is unique to the area and don't mind spending a bit more for it-- come shop local at Velvet Coat. It's approachable and fashionable! And probably is cheaper than a psychiatrist.

MAN does it pain me to write this review. I've had a love affair with Von Maur for over a decade…read more And boy, oh boy do I miss my random shopping getaways pre-pandemic. It has been my go-to for formal wear, Iowa Hawkeye gear, shoes, accessories, swimwear and more over the years. But this summer they changed their return policy. I think a lot of it is pretty standard... - Return within 90 days with a receipt: Receive purchase price back to original form of payment - Return after 90 days with receipt or anytime with a gift receipt: Receive purchase price as merchandise credit only. - Return without a receipt: Receive current selling price as merchandise credit only. My issue with this change is with their new FINAL SALE policy. - They cut the tags off your brand new items to ensure you can't return them. Therefore my newly purchased, never worn item that I just so happened to score a great deal on... looks not new. Possible pre-owned. What if I planned to gift someone that item? Don't they deserve to know it hasn't been worn and is right off the rack? (Or in my case, I got a supposedly unworn bikini without any tags... which was unexpected. And kind of weirded me out.) If you need to scribble on the tag, over the barcode-- go for it. But I go to Von Maur for the experience and the unique items sold there. It is tacky and off brand to send new items sans tag. (And when I contacted customer service to express my opinion about said two piece. I was basically shrugged off.) I buy plenty of thrift items for myself and even they include a tag... just sayin. This would be a two star, just because of how I feel about the new changes. But I still stand by Von Maur as a quality store. This change may stop me from getting certain items here now. (#shopsmall, #shoplocal) But it shouldn't deter you from getting full-priced items here!
