Francesca’s Collections

Always excellent customer service. I never encountered someone who wasn’t willing to help.

My go-​to for cute jewelry and gifts, Francesca’s offers a wide selection without going overboard or being overwhelming.
Excellent quality and a delightful shopping experience.

I still love their clothes and jewelry, but their purses are terrible quality!
I bought a purse from Francesca’s three years ago, and it was great! In the last year, however, I have had terrible luck with them. The first purse I purchase started to tear at one of the seams. I figured it was a fluke. I went back in with my mom, and we each purchased a purse. One month later my mom’s purse broke. Three months later, my purse broke. Now I’m thinking these purses are just terrible quality.
I will definitely still visit to buy clothes and jewelry! Super cute things!

When I went into this store recently I was looking for something very specific. The staff was very helpful and I finally found what I needed after looking everywhere else! There are tons of cute things to buy in this store, just love it!

Wow there are a lot of cutesy things smashed into this store in a way that’s actually appealing. I briefly viewed lots of potential gift items and relatively inexpensive clothing pieces. There’s a lot of accessorizing to do if you walk in here!

Not much to do in Fort Collins other than explore. So when I finished my business while I was out in Colorado for work, I decided to do some shopping and headed to the Shops at Centerra.
There’s not much and the shopping center is EMPTY… I came out with nothing and as I was about to leave, I saw the sign for this place and decided to check it out.
So glad I did! This place is like an Anthropologie meets Forever 21, with cute doodads up front, nice jewelry and really cute dresses that are not too expensive.
Their adorable dresses range from $ 30 – 50 and are pretty unique designs. I found one that I’ve grown very fond of and found it a steal at $ 20 but when I was rung up it was an additional 50% off… I ended up getting more items.
I told the girls (who were absolutely wonderful) working there that I was from CA and she told me that Francesca’s is actually based there. But mainly in SoCal. Darn. but at least I don’t have to fly all the way out to the Ft. Collins area to see this place again.

There are a few benefits to working in Loveland. One being the shops at Centerra. Today my lovely friend Meghan introduced me to Francesca’s, and I’m not sure my retail life will ever be the same. I can only describe it as Anthropologie-​lite (sorry Yvonne C!) — I walked out of there with a sweet winter wool coat for $ 37 on sale. Seriously? I could have bought 5 for the price of my last big coat investment. Granted, it probably won’t last me as long, but it’s just what I was looking for.
This particular location is not super large — they are a family owned chain of about 100+ stores — but features fashionable, reasonably priced clothes (Meghan got 2 great dresses for $ 60), lots of jewelry and handbags, picture frames, and some odds and ends gifty items. Really, I love it. Right now they are having a 30% sale on almost everything in the store. That makes me happy.
