Francesca’s Collections

I was thoroughly impressed with this team of ladies. They were so helpful and extremely personable. The kind of woman that make your shopping experience retail therapy (: The boutique manager Alyssa assisted me in an exchange and helped me find four new products to gift to my auntie. Also Leyla was very pleasant; she rang up my order and gift wrapped each piece I got in return for my exchange. I highly recommend this shop to any woman anywhere that wants a cute affordable boutique with a positive and friendly atmosphere.

I have always loved Francesca’s but my most recent visit I was blown away by the friendly service I received from Alyssa. She was so personable and incredibly helpful. My sister and I came in after having dinner on 2^nd street and I didn’t realize how late it was. They were about to close but I had no idea as Alyssa in no way seemed to rush us out or act like she wanted to get out of there, instead she went out of the way to help us. Great customer service, thank you Alyssa!

I love this place! Super cute clothes and accessories and great little stocking stuffers and gifts for around the holidays. It’s always my go-​to for cute presents when you need a last minute gift. The girls working here have always been very sweet and helpful. My only complaint is that two times I’ve been in within the last 6 months I’ve wanted to get a gift certificate and their machines have been down :/​not that it’s anyone’s fault but a backup plan like paper certificates may be a good idea.

Decent collection of women’s clothing. Browsed briefly. Customer service was a bit cold so didn’t stay too long.

I have been to several other Franchesa’s. Super cute stuff (though some of it is a bit overpriced for what you get). I love all the cute accessories and the clothes they have at these stores, so I was super excited to find out there was another store close by in Long Beach.
The store is super tiny and the employees still managed to figure out how to pretend like they don’t see you. Their conversation about last night’s happenings was more important than doing their job. Two of the dressing rooms had clothes hanging in them waiting to be put back on the racks. One of the girls actually ran into me on her way to the back and didn’t even apologize.
That being said, I still love the stuff sold by this chain of stores but I will NOT be returning to this particular store. Note to management: train your employees better.

They suck… customer service sucks… they won’t sell a last item because it goes against policy??? And the clerk said they cut up each item one there’s only 1 left… but the item was on the floor ticketed to sell… they are ridiculous I will never set foot in there again and tell everyone not to

Such a cute store! They redid the shop and it looks adorable! I usually shop here when they have their bogo deals on their clothing! Such a good deal! I have gotten many cute dresses there and whenever I wear them I get so many compliments. I also love their knick knacks that they have. I got the cutest flask from there and I got a friend the cutest wine cooler bag. This store is one of my favorite places to shop!

I’ve come to this store many times with friends and always buy a lot of clothing, today I found a red shirt on the 40% rack, but it had a hole on the side, I knew I could send it to the taylor’s to get it fix and pay about $ 10, I ask the store assistant if she could give me more discount and she said no, that she would just damage it out, WOW! You prefer to loss a great custumer and loss 5 extra $. AMAZING! I WOULD NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN, I’ll take my $ 300 purchase I usually make somewhere else.

Very very cute store. I love coming here. When you are looking for fun and affordable jewelry this is the place. When you are looking for fun gifts for your girlfriends (I.e. Dresses, outfits, clutches, cute purses) this is a place to go, also when you buy a gift make sure you buy yourself a gift too ;).
I like going to small shops/​boutique like this.

Very Cute Shop… Popped into Francesca’s after lunch at Simmzy’s. The boutique was just completely renovated. It is lighter and brighter… yet somehow looked smaller?
The clothing, accessories, and décor items all were of the same style as before, there just seemed to be less of them.
This is a great little shop. Great place to find unique jewelry, shoes, and accessories. I’ve never had to walk away with a little something from here!

Super Cute!
This store is really quaint and cute. They always have something for sale in the back. I actually prefer the Spectrum location in Irvine but this one is nice too just smaller.
I love all the odds and ends that they carry. You know the little off things that you just might need or I should say never need but it’s cute and funny so you buy it anyway. They got me hooked on the little «Knock Knock «note pads. They are hilarious. Good for work place gifts if you work with people that have a since of humor. If not for-​get-​it!
The always have really cute jewelry and earrings as well. They carry some shoes and I can take or leave them. The key is if you see them get them because once they go on sale they might not have your size!
The store is a bit cramped buy it’s a beach city store so there is not that much space. The employees are friendly and helpful and I have never had a problem with anyone here.
The only issue is that they close so early while other places seem to stay open longer. It could be because of the several bars on 2^nd street and maybe the patrons get a little crazy after a few drinks. Leave it to them to spoil it for everyone.

When my sister-​in-​law and I went shopping, she was in search of 2 things… a necklace and some kind of shawl or shrug to go with a dress. We sauntered into Francesca’s because, as small as this place is, they pretty much have a little of everything… clothing, jewelry, accessories (sunglasses, belts, scarves), knick – knacks, gift items, kind of reminded me of Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie… not as large… but almost as expensive (as Anthropologie, which is ridiculously overpriced if you ask me). But I digress. I honestly had never been in Francesca’s until my sister-​in-​law and I went in, but it was fun to see and look at all their trinkets, baubles, gift items. I had fun looking at everything. Ironically, while she went in for something specific, she walked out with some sunglasses instead. As for me, I bought nothing, but I definitely have this on my radar for holiday gifts… seems like a real good place for that kind of stuff. They definitely pack a lot into a small space.

I used to love this place and I still think they have seriously cute things, but I won’t be shopping there anymore. Just bought a jacket a week ago at full price then found it online for 60% off. Asked if I could return so I could purchase online and save 30 $, but they wouldn’t let me cuz the tags weren’t on them even though it has never been worn. There return policy stinks.

I really like this place. the reason is 3 stars is bc is overpriced. altho they have cute and unique stuff is just thtat i would love to take not only one but several stuff but bc of the price is not possible.
their décor is really cute i love it, their display on everything is cute. and sometimes they have really good discounts. sothats when i go and but stuff. :)

SO I LOVE THIS PLACE
after I wrote that I just gave it one more star higher from a 3 to a 4 … lol but this is the smallest one that I have encountered (I’m glad the girls in Long beach have it!) /​/​
Point to note: just wanted to let you know the size,
Service: its alright… wasn’t greeted but I didn’t really mind
Atmosphere: like any other francesca’s !
Merchandise: Just a lot less
Parking: far… but its okay because its free!

If you like Anthropology fashion… you have to come to Francesca.
1) Cute selection for the size.
2) There was not something in the store I tried that didn’t fit me (considering I put on some pounds last winter)
3) Great for girlfriend’s gifts
4) super cool staff (i appreciate honesty)
5) they get new stuff every week, so if you are around in the weekends you’ll find something new each time.
6) Trendy accessories

As a gay man this place is key for all my lady friend’s birthdays — xmas gifts — and such. I have shopped at other Francesca’s locations before and have never had a problem; have always had a great time shopping for hodgepodge stuff.
However this location is completely different. For whatever marketing reason, every Francesca’s is tinyyyyy — so It shouldn’t be that hard to acknowledge someone who’s in the store — mind you esp. when you have acknowledged every one else. I wasn’t sure on the item I was purchasing for a gift, so I left for about 30 mins. came back and was still ignored on multiple occasions. Honestly? And then to be sweet talked at the register? CLASS A bitch if you ask me. Sweet talk is fun when the topic of the conversation is geared towards the customer — I don’t need your false approval of my purchase «Oh i love this bracelet «-* cough* bullshit. Quite off putting.
Then not to ask for a gift receipt when I spent 5 mins talking about how my purchase was a gift is clearly a lack of good customer service.
Will not be returning to this location at all.

I was here on Saturday and found a blouse that I’ve been wanting. it was on sale for $ 14.98 originally $ 34!
I spoke to the manager regarding a bracelet that I’ve been looking for. their store didn’t have it but she told me to send the picture to her and she sent it to everyone within the region. Within 2 hrs, I got a call from the San Diego store and they FedEx it to me.
I’ve been looking for this bracelet for quite a while now. I called Customer Service, (they didn’t wanna give me the item #), contacted the: Roseville, Arden, Stonestown, Emeryville, Corte Madera, Downtown SF, Hillsdale, Stoneridge, Danville, Los Gatos, Oakridge, Arcadia, and Universal City locations. out of the 14 locations including this one only 3 stores had it and was sold out already.
Thank you store manager (forgot her name and can’t find the email I sent) for helping me and for your time. You’ve made me a very happy customer! C u again soon!

What an awesome clothing boutique! I love coming in here to shop for clothing for cheap! This store is tiny but it is jam-​packed with goodies. I have found many cute summer dresses, sweaters, going-​out tops, skirts, etc here. Their jewerly selection is huge! I’d say I spent $ 100 and walked out with two dresses and a pair of earrings for both, what a steal! Towards the back on the right are a lot of cute items which can be bought for gifts (purses, stationary, knick-​knacks, décor, etc).
The sales girls are always helpful. They are friendly and help take the heavy heap of clothes of my hands when I am shopping.
Francesca’s, I love you!

I have been on a dress shopping spree lately. Okay, I know some of you are saying, «What do you mean Tiffany? Aren’t you always shopping for dresses?» Now, I don’t want to shock you, but I’ve been looking outside of the vintage world and into the mod, unused world of dresses. I know, I know it’s almost heresy, but hey we all need change sometimes.
Francesca’s is a place in Belmont Shores that has several adorable dresses (and accessories, tops, and other girlie things) at reasonable prices. I just recently bought a nice red one that I wore to Unilocal Gets Elemental last night (
), you know, for the element fire. It has one sleeve only and I’m hoping it was hot. Or maybe hawt even.
Anyway I like shopping at boutiques like this because there aren’t a ton of the same dress and things just seem to fit me better than lots of other stores. Plus the girls working here the day I stopped in were ever so nice. That goes a long way with me when I’m shopping.
Bonus — sign up for their mailing list and they’ll send emails to you every time they get new stuff in. Emails have photos of the collections and come about once a week.
