Bobbles & Lace

I been to the Marblehead store 3 time in the past week to pick out gifts for Christmas. On each occasion I had one of my two children with me (girls, aged 5 and 4) and I was horrified at the potential mayhem they could cause in the store. Thankfully, my kids decided to behave on each occasion. In fact, the sales people (and the owner, I believe) took a great interest and a significant amount of time in helping my 4 year old pick out gifts for my wife (her mother). Thank you.

My favorite clothing store on the northshore! Fairly priced, and wonderful staff. I have gone to the Portsmouth nh location which is always fabulous :)

Obsessed with this store… Everyone who works there is always so friendly, and never pressures you into buying. (Pushy sales people are the worst.) They always have a great selection of boutique style clothes that are appropriate for work or a night out… The only down side I could comment on is that I have bought a few items that don’t seem to last more than a season or two, but I really don’t mind because I never spend a fortune! Whoever does the buying should keep up the great work!

Adorable! Fashion forward, unique, conservative pricing, and fabulous customer service! FAB!

One of my co-​workers heard that I was moving to Marblehead and little did I know that she grew up there! She told me, «Have you heard of Bobbles and Lace?» Me: «No, what it is it?» Her: «Best boutique, ever! Go there.»
I decided to go in there one afternoon and ended up purchasing four bracelets for my bridesmaids-​to-​be. The staff helped me by trying them up in these adorable satin bags tied with a gift tag and a beautiful little fabric rose. I can’t wait to give them to my girls!
PS: The shoe selection here is magnificent as are the accessories!

Lov,.Love, Love your Andover Store.
Cindy could not be more helpful.
She knows exactly what will appea and look great on my college age daughter.
Thank you so much. You are a blessing to a mom who has a fussy daughter.
Christine and Morgan
ps. get more shoes!!!

Love, Love, Love this place! They always have a great selection of the latest fashions at affordable prices. It is my go to place when pulling together a last minute outfit for any night out. I find the staff incredibly helpful. I have even brought in my own outfits and said «I need accessories and shoes for this. Can you help me?’ They’ve have pulled together some really fun ensembles for me. Obviously, the clothes are not designer duds, so if you are looking for the high end stuff, this isn’t the place for you. However, if you are looking for reasonably priced fashionable outfits, this is a great place. I have never had a problem with the quality of the clothes or shoes (of course-I’m not buying outfits from here for everyday wear either)

One of my girlfriend’s favorite stores in Marblehead, its a nice little boutique in her hometown that pretty much can glam up any woman and have them leaving and channeling their inner Beyonce after wards. Of course i’m a guy and i had no need for any of the items in the store but i have some idea of what my gf likes when it comes to jewelry and accessories and this also helped me see what type of dress style she also likes. Personally i think all the items had a unique flare to them a certain brash bravado charisma that would make a woman feel confident strutting her stuff down the street. They have everything from sunglasses, jewelry, rings, dresses, necklaces, hats, shoes, heels, etc. The women in charge are from California and my god could you tell, with that sun kissed skin tone and California Girl bodies, sizzle! They were very helpful and extremely nice and cracked a few jokes with me while i was waiting for my girlfriend to try on a few dresses. She came out in this one dress that i literally started drooling when i saw her in it, she looked that good, and the material felt amazing when i rubbed my hands on the dress, and she ended up buying it. She always says whenever she visits she gets at least one thing each time from Bobbles & Lace. Also i love the name very catchy, i’d highly recommend this store to the ladies if your in the area.

Bobbles & Lace is one of the few places I know I can go to for clothing. First of all, the prices are not bad at all and everything is super cute. The sale associates are very friendly and helpful. Spent a long time helping me try on clothing– I really appreciate their patience!

As I recently expressed to both my cousin and separately, on another occasion, to a close friend – I love Boston! However, what I also love about Boston is the fact that you can travel 30 minutes (depending on traffic of course!) outside of the city to find fabulous shops which are consequently gems in small, quaint New England towns.
Bobbles & Lace is a terrific find in Marblehead, MA – and I don’t think I’m the only one to say this, as there were a bunch of shoppers over Fourth of July weekend in the small boutique the day I went.
The store is arranged elegantly by colors – which I found very convenient for a (sometimes) indecisive shopper like myself! Of course I try and shop through the purples and blues, but ultimately end up searching the chic, black selection of merchandise (I tried! haha, but black is just so workable and classic!).
For ladies who are looking to accessorize, Bobbles and Lace had a huge selection of jewelry organized in such a way that you could very well outfit your cute outfit with jewelry ready to be matched. I didn’t manage to look, but I was impressed with the selection I saw.
Although, I only visited there once I could tell the ladies who own it do an excellent job to keep the place fabulous and I can surely see it pays off – I bought stuff! The only aspect I would suggest to Bobbles and Lace is to stock multiples of a particular size (they only get in one of each size for each piece, as I found out) in maybe just the more popular merchandise. It may be a clever business maneuver to not have more than one of each size in each garment, so customers are motivated to get the item when they see it in their size, but for people who don’t frequent the shop – they are missing out on sales!
Either way, the store is very cute, and brings a chic edge to the town of Marblehead, MA. I’ll definitely come by next time I’m in MA.

This is my favorite boutique for a quick party outfit or really great birthday presents. The prices match the quality – you’re not going to find Chanel here, but you’re going to find an affordable Chanel knockoff!
They just expanded the Marblehead store, so now they have more room to put all the great stuff. Sometimes the clothes skew too young, but there’s plenty for the 30-​something professional to pretty up her wardrobe.

Fun day shopping with my cousin who is a bride-​to-​be. Picked up some fun jewelry for her destination wedding. Clothes were trendy, but I didn’t find any pieces since it’s cross season, but will definitely be back.

The store looks cute, but looks can be deceiving. I received an adorable dress from here for my birthday and when I tried it on, there was a huge hole going down the side. I didn’t even have the dress on for 5 minutes. I returned it the next day to show the sales person.
She basically could have cared less and never offered to repair the dress. She made some stupid comment along the lines of, «well, these things happen, it looks like it wasn’t sewn the right way.» Excuse me? I manage a store on Newbury St. in Boston and when a customer brings something back that is damaged after a day or so of buying it, we take responsibility and send the merchandise to a repairman, tailor, cobbler, etc.
It’s unfortunate that some people who work in retail and in customer service really have no idea what it means to do good business. If you want a customer to come back to your store, you should do whatever you can to fix a problem like that or at least pretend to be apologetic and say you’re sorry that after a day of buying something the item is ruined.
Also, I took the dress to a seamstress because that useless sales girl was not even worth dealing with. It’s funny because the seamstress said that the whole dress would have fallen apart! And that salesgirl just laughed and said, «all you have to do is sew that little spot up and it should be fine. Okay hunny, whatever!

This store was such a surprise find in Marblehead! I thought the name sounded familiar, and upon looking at the business card, I remembered they have a location in Boston’s North End!
This store caters to the Forever21 crowd, but is slightly more expensive and better quality. All of their clothes are organized by color and are generally trendy pieces you wouldn’t want to spend a ton of money on. I was particularly drawn to their party dress selection (I have an addiction), as well as to their frilly lace tops and comfy tunics.
They also have a great selection of costume jewelry– lots of sparkle and glitter! Not all of it is gaudy and over the top, thought. I really loved their small sparkle studs and replica David Yurman and Tiffany pieces.
If you’re looking for a trend-​setting outfit on a budget, this is a great alternative than a mall chain. Just remember you’re paying a slight premium for better service and better quality!

I rarely am in Marblehead, but I was out there a few years ago for a tent sale for a another boutique out there (which is now closed). This store just opened up a few years ago by a mother/​aunt (?)-daughter team.
Anyways, this boutique is cute and has a lot of affordable items. I guess the daughter or niece is the buyer and gets most of her items out in California. She definitely cherry picks the unique and latest finds. I was not familiar with any of the brands, but I still liked the selection and the prices were right!
There is a bit of jewelry and most of it was priced under $ 10 (?). It was a while back when I went here … For some reason too, if I recall correctly, I think the employee had mentioned all items were under $ 100.
Now, they have a website up and I guess you purchase from there, but it definitely does not have the large selection like the store.
It’s worth checking the store out as well as exploring the rest of the very cute and pretty Marblehead area. Oddly enough, the day I went, there were barely any people around … I felt like the town evacuated, and it was just me and my friend and the store workers. ahhhh
I will have to go check sometime soon again!
