Talk about customer service! Today I ran home on my lunch break specifically to grab a birthday…read morepresent for my friend. I got there right as the owner was locking up for the Thanksgiving holiday. Without batting an eye, she opened the store again, made sure the music was playing, and insisted that I not rush. I immediately found a gorgeous scarf and a necklace for my friend, and I couldn't resist getting a great black sweater for myself. I thanked her profusely, and walked home to show off my purchases to my bf. Duly impressed, he reminded me that it was time for me to go back to work. Oh no. I couldn't find my keys anywhere. We tore up the house for a while, and found spare keys dating back to 2011. Just not MY keys. They have to be at the store. Finally, I had the presence of mind to look for a phone number (only after I'd already run back down the street to see if she was still there -- all locked up.). She answered, and said she hadn't noticed them. Upon hearing the panic in my voice, she offered to come back downtown and look. She had already driven away! It's her thanksgiving break! I felt terrible, but I needed those keys. Fear not, my keys and I were reunited. She was unbelievably gracious about my mistake, even apologizing for not having looked around before closing. A review for a boutique should emphasize the product. Ohmygoodness these clothes are perfect. And the jewelry. And the hats. Clearly, I HAD to make a special trip just to buy a present here. Also, though, let's all support the heck out of a just plain good person who happens to have a VERY fashionable boutique in the affordable clothes- hungry world of downtown Dallas.

I am a downtown Dallas resident. I have been to Kettledrum Allie Boutique a couple of times since…read morethey first opened. I was never impressed with the quality of their clothing, but it was a good convenient place to stop by when I was in a bind for something cute and trendy to wear, and their accessory assortment is decent. My last visit was terrible disappointment. I was in a hurry to find a dress to wear that evening for dinner and drinks at the Ritz. I was in a hurry and quickly bought a dress with sequence. When I got home and truly inspected the dress, I noticed that it was missing some sequence pieces, and it just looked plain cheap and tacky. There is no way I was going to wear that to the ritz. What an embarrassment!! I refuse to wear the dress. It was a final sale, so they would not exchange it or work with me store credit. I left this unwearable dress and they kept my $50. Poor, very poor customer service for someone who wants to shop and support local business. It is a shame that they were unwilling to work with me in spite of their poor quality product. As a resident, I always suggest their place as a go to for clothing. I will no longer. They were not willing to work with a loyal customer, so I will take my business and recommendations elsewhere.

This is a great place to shop for gifts. They also have beautiful candles placed in different vessels that remind me of my childhood as my mom had some of these dishes. You can even drop off your own "vessel" and they will fill it. I have added pictures of some of the fragrances from their website. They are located not too far from Eno's and DIRT Design Studio on Bishop.

Bon jour! You have truly entered a French market, when you walk through the doors of Marcel Market!…read more There are fresh crackers, candies, cookies and jams. There are French pictures to buy for your walls. There is a whole section of the store devoted to specialty clothing. Some of the items were just beautiful. I fell in love with a small travel cosmetics size case, but it was $60 and I didn't buy it. So, prices are on the higher side. But you have to remember everything is imported and you are paying a premium for these goods. I thought some of the food products were on the more reasonable price range. It was definitely a store filled with eye candy. Service was great and they were so helpful and attentive to your needs. My son bought a few items and he was very happy with them. I would definitely come back and take a look around. They have beautiful products. Aurevoir!

Tyler Kingstone Mercantile was such a unique and unforgettable find during my trip to Dallas!…read more I was hanging out in the Bishop Arts District with some friends and decided to explore some of their local shops. Tyler Kingstone Mercantile is located in the corner just across from Starbucks which is pretty easy to find. Their whole store vibe is a mix of Texas meets modern vibes. They have a wide variety of clothing for men, women and even some super cute stuff for kids. I like that a lot (if not all) of their products are US and Texas made which I thought was very unique. I think this shop is perfect for out of towners looking for a very Texan souvenier or anyone looking for a very unique gift. I feel like most boutiques carry the same stuff just in different colors, but I can assure you that everything in here feels unique and curated to perfection. Highly recommend checking it out!

The neighborhood was nicknamed "The Devil's Back Porch" back in the 1920s. I hope that was not a reference to his butt. 2. This was one of the busiest streetcar stops in all of Dallas in the 1930s, which is the reason the shops are close together. 3. The restaurant Paradiso is L shaped because it was built around century-old trees. 4. Bonnie (of Bonnie and Clyde) worked as a waitress in this area before her crime spree began. Rumor has it she needed money to afford the $8 slices of pie at Emporium Pies. Only three things sucked: 1) Parking is difficult on weekends. 2) Cops are everywhere, so don't jaywalk. 3) The people with clipboards asking you to donate to blue whale abortions or whatever are aggressive.

My friend and I came here for the Bishop Arts Bazaar which was a lot of fun on a toasty fall day…read more They have retail parking available that's less than three minutes away walking distance. There was live music, food trucks and plenty of vendors. They had a couple of older model cars on display which was cool. When we entered the bazaar there was a lady there to welcome us to the event which was nice. I enjoyed a refreshing drink at a food truck and got street style tacos from another vendor. The live music was upbeat and complimented the event. We were able to walk around and explore a majority of the vendors. I ended up buying a couple of things from the vendor. The bishop arts bazaar occurs in the fall once a month on Sunday. Attending the bazaar was a lovely way to spend the Sunday afternoon.
