Patina Gifts & Womens Apparel

Bought a top on sale. Nice store but not much I was interested in. But a nice selection of clothing.

Based on reviews, I visited Patina looking for a special occasion outfit. As I entered w/​a friend, I said, «I don’t think I’m going to find what I need, but this place looks like fun.» Wrong and right — I found EXACTLY what I needed, and it was loads of fun. The salesperson (how I wish I knew her name — a lovely silver-​haired beauty from Iceland) encouraged me ever-​so-​gently to try on a couple things I didn’t think were my style. They were perfect! Equestrian pants are my new favorite brand, and the Babette top goes w/​everything I own. She also opened a shipment she’d just received to reveal a gorgeous gold and black, asymmetric jacket that is destined to be my favorite top of all time. Visit Patina, and take the advice offered. Bet you’ll be as happy as I am.

Went into Patina’s today to help a girlfriend pick out a wedding dress. The customer service was FANTASTIC. Even though I live in Lafayette I will be making Patina a destination shopping place. Wonderful selection of unique clothing and again, wonderful customer service.

I have been to Patina four times.
I have a friend who lives nearby and when I am in town I like to stop in and see what’s new. Until last week all my experiences have been positive. I explained that I couldn’t see dark colors due to an eye condition, but I was assured the clothing I chose was well fitting, plus it was returnable for exchange only. I got home and saw the outfit ($ 300+) in natural light and couldn’t take it off fast enough.
Problem: I live out of town and the return limit is within 7 days. OK, my error for not asking about the fine print for returns… I drove back, 45 minutes each way and I found a dress that was lovely and a blouse that was just above average. But wait, I have $ 30 dollars left over, there must be something I need, the kind lady asks. Alas, there is nothing in the store for a mere $ 30, and the next time I’m in town, I’ll look again.
I just looked at my store credit receipt «good for 6 months» hand written on it… I really have an issue with this kind of return policy, so it looks like I won’t shop here anymore. I understand MollyB’s has similar merchandise.
In my perfect world, a high end designer dress shop has a mirror which allows one to see their front and back sides clearly; lighting is bright near that mirror and clothing can be returned the next day for full credit if these consumer aids are absent.

I can only echo the other reviews. Great clothes, super helpful (but TRUTHFUL) saleswomen — Margaret helped me. I will definitely shop here again. Clothes are unique, yet classic in their own way.

Unique clothing, high end but worth investing in. The owner, Parvin, in particular, is very patient and spends time with you to help you with appropriate look for your style. She is very creative about combining various pieces of clothing and accessories for an understated stylish look. In addition to clothing, Patina has jewelry, scarves, hats, purses, jewelry, socks, lingerie. Great for special occasion wear.

Very nice, high end boutique. What I really like is the personal attention. The women working there have great personal style and will suggest things you might like and ways to combine items. Their clothes are not cheap but they have a lot of unique and interesting garments you won’t fine elsewhere.
