For starters they were watching me like a hawk when I was trying dresses on. Once I was done, I decided to be helpful and put the clothes back. After I did that, one of the workers asked me where I put the clothes. I told her I put them back, and then she proceeded to check all the pieces that I tried on. Then as I was leaving, they called me back in asking where I put the one dress because they could not find it. I walked right in and found it in 30 seconds and I felt like I knew the store better than the employee. I understand that they have a job to do and have to make sure people do not steal but I felt judged the moment I walked in. I felt like I was accused of stealing and if they are so worried about people stealing then put sensors on their clothes. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 star is because they had cute clothes.

The entire time the owner watched us like a hawk and when I went to try on a top she started to call me and my friends poor within earshot. I have never felt so disrespected. We said something to them and they looked completely unbothered about being rude.

Here one can find some unique and hard-to-find gifts. Just view my photographs accompanying this review and you can get a better sense of everything one can find here. I highly recommend this large department store for a nostalgic shopping experience. One you'll never forget, and would want to come back for more.

Just like finding a needle in a haystack, I discovered this gem of high end homegoods and decor…read morestore in Roanoke, Virginia. Entering the store was like discovering a whole new world filled with a curated selection of unique furniture, home decor, gifts, and local art, emphasizing quality, sustainable design, and truly unique pieces with lasting style. After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Present Thyme, in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. Located in the Towers Shopping Center, in Southwest Roanoke, Present Thyme has been a community staple for over 45 years, yet it was only today that I became aware of its existence. Inside, I found an extensive variety of unique, one-of-a-kind items, from antique furniture in excellent condition, to quality gifts and luxury bedding, to amazing treasures from local artisans. The store philosophy is to focus on high-quality, high-end, timeless pieces that become part of a home's story, with a commitment to local artisans and sustainable design. There, one can find high-end, unique furniture, including antique pieces, elegant home decor items, including vintage European crystal chandeliers, Venetian glass mirrors, handblown glass bowls, and collectibles serving trays, among other things such as clothing that blend clasic style with modern flair, bedding, gifts and children's items. And what fascinated me the most was the local art and artworks, including pieces from local artists such as Greg Osterhaus, which I found the most extensive paintings from him anywhere around, including his famous cow portraits and local landscapes. The owner of this store, Dorian Clowers, does an extraordinary job in bringing together products from artisans in Roanoke and the surrounding region. If you think the products of this store are amazing, its staff are the most friendly and helpful store employees that I have ever encountered. They helped me find more information and price of one of Greg Osterhaus paintings that I showed interest in. The time in there went by so fast that before I knew it, it was already closing time. I highly recommend this high-end home decor store for those times when you're looking for a very unique gift for someone special in your life, or just to bring into your home as a stand out piece.

My husband bought me a Longchamp bag and had it monogrammed for Christmas. After only a few weeks,…read moreI noticed that the bag had discolored areas on it. Annie who works at Yarids was extremely nice and made attempts to contact Longchamp but at the end of the day, Longchamp would not replace the bag and all of the other bags at Yarids had discolored areas on them as well! I walked away with a discolored bag and no type of compensation. Needless to say I had to drive my bag all the way from Botetourt to Yarids and it be shipped off for several weeks and drive there once again to pick it up only to leave with no type of positive outcome! I had to chalk it up as a loss. I would be a little less upset if this was not an expensive bag. I would stay away from Longchamp bags if you don't want to be disappointed!

From the day I looked into the display window of the store I was attracted by the uniqueness of their merchandise and the relaxed beauty of its style and free form. Located on Market Street, in the heart of downtown Roanoke shopping district, this downtown Roanoke boutique has a warm, inviting, and unique atmosphere, with very friendly and helpful staff and owners. As a matter of fact when I came in the store for the first time I was able to observe how well the owner and staff of the store were treating a couple of customers who were enthusiastically looking over the store's merchandise. Any of the items in the store would make a woman look gorgeous and bring out the best of her and her vibrant personality. When I introduced myself to one of the ladies working in the store, I was able to discover her artistic talent as well, since many of the jewelry items that I admired as gifts were handmade by her. Besides the beauty of each item there, what also stood out was how reasonably they were priced, immediately bringing value to your purchase. This confirming that things need not be extremely expensive to be beautiful and bring joy to your life. In conclusion, I encourage you to view all of my photographs accompanying my review of this boutique, and highly recommend that you go visit the store. I assure you that you will definitely find a beautiful item that you will fall in love with, either for yourself or as a gift. And that in the process you will be treated like friendly royalty, making you feel relaxed and cared for during the shopping experience.

My soon-to-be daughter-in-law recently purchased her wedding dress at Ivory on Campbell. During the…read morefitting, she voiced concern about the dress size. The sales consultant reassured her that ordering one size up would be best, even though the sample she tried on in the store already fit comfortably with room to spare. When the ordered dress arrived, it was four inches too large. The seamstress immediately advised that the dress would be difficult to alter without compromising its look and recommended requesting the correct size instead. The manager said she would speak with the owner about the issue, so my daughter-in-law held onto the dress while waiting for a resolution. Ultimately, the store refused to order the proper size and offered only a store credit for half the cost of the dress -- an unacceptable outcome considering they are the professionals who guided the sizing decision. We are extremely disappointed in both the lack of accountability and the poor customer service. Brides deserve knowledgeable, ethical guidance and fair solutions when errors occur -- especially for such an important purchase.
