I love this store! Every time we visit Murphy we come to this store and I always find 2 or 3 items…read morethat fit great. These are clothes that are unique and so beautiful. I forgot an item when visiting last time and Susan drove out to where we were to drop it off. She is really customer service oriented and goes the "extra mile" to make sure customers are taken care of, literally! I will continue to stop in every time we are near Murphy because its always a win!

I shopped here while visiting a friend Kate on St. Patty's weekend. The owner of the shop, Susan,…read morewas very helpful and turned me on to what she promised would be the best pants I will ever own! She is a great sales person and so without hesitation, I bought 3 pairs of these pants. I now realize I should have gotten MORE!!! Recently, I have searched high and low for more of these (sold out,) pants locally and even on the Internet, but decided to continue to support the small business Shirt Tales instead. I was hoping for more Capri pants which were out of stock. Instead, she offered to have her seamstress hem the longer pants to look like Capri's with the little side slit at the hem for a nominal fee. That is a person who goes all out to please her customers. Since I live 2 hours from the shop, I called and ordered them to be shipped. What was so adorable, was that the owner offered to meet me in a nearby city in the Bay Area to bring them to me since she is coming to visit a friend anyway. It really touched me how genuinely caring and sweet this owner is and how she is willing to go the EXTRA MILE. (Pun intended!) I am very glad to be a repeat customer and when I am in town I will always revisit her store. Meanwhile, ordering over the phone and having them shipped is WELL worth my time and money! Thanks Susan for all of your wonderful customer service. You were right, these pants are my most favorite of all!!!! Thank you for your outstanding service Susan! I look forward to my shipment coming. Hello to those sweet store puppies.

People let me tell you 'bout my best friend…read more.. Best Friends in Murphy's is a fun consignment Womens boutique! They carry all sizes. Jeans, sweaters, T-shirts, jackets. Oh, my! So many items to choose from, many of which look like they are practically brand new. Fun accessories as well. The lady working in the store was not only super friendly and super sweet, she was extremely helpful, and is one of those women that you automatically just feel a kinship with. Many, if not all of the items, are identifiable, namebrand items, and the pricing is very clear and understandable. Price tags indicates the value price, and the price that the store is asking. Easy Peezy. This is a great stop to make, some amazing finds to be had, and absolutely worth checking out!

This shop is attempting to create an online presence through Instagram. However, my experience,…read morecompared to other thrift/vintage retailers, leaves considerable room for improvement. The owner doesn't post measurements, fabric content, or prices for the items that she's selling. Furthermore, when questions are asked, it's days later before a response, if at all . The other reviews mention disorganization and poor business practices, and I would have to agree. For instance, this shop does not know that sales tax is generated by the state the item is shipped to, when selling online. All in all, I think that there are much better options for your dollar when shopping vintage clothing.
