Voila Boutique

Been shopping at this boutique since I moved to LA years ago… It’s hit or miss… They are like forever 21 in style and quality but a bit pricier… I’ve bought a lot of my maxi dresses here… very cute styles… The average price for a maxi dress here is around 40 bucks… I’ve also bought some workout pants and tanks here… They do have limited items in size small but the clothes do run a bit small so a M would be ok an a petite person.

affordable Asian styled clothing. Cute little boutique with better selection than Fashion Q or G Stage but about the same quality. Bought a cute top and will make this place a must visit every month. Highly recommended :)

I’ve shopped here before, very original style, great quality and the staff is nice. I always have to shop alone, my boyfriend never comes with me clothes shopping which is really weird how I found this number in his contacts, maybe he likes shopping with somebody else who knows great clothes

great cloth for great price! wife was extremely happy and she wants go back already.

this place literally looks like a ghetto p.o.s from the outside (sorry but im right) the inside however… omg. LOVE THIS BOUTIQUE. They have a ton of maxi dresses for all sizes which is awesome because im under 5 ft tall. The clothes were good prices and the inside was clean and awesome. I will be back here!

I live all the way in Downtown LA, but I looove this store so much that I’m willing to travel to get to this store. So far, I have gone to this store and have always found at least ten pieces of clothing that I really like. The clothes are super cute with a great variety to choose from… what’s even better is that they’re all good quality and $ 30 is like the highest and most expensive price out of all that they have. I totally recommend this place!

I have an androgynous/​gender bending sense of fashion and I often incorporate clothes intended for women into my male wardrobe. I think I’m turning into someone people point out as I walk around Studio City, «Oh, there’s that skirt guy again.»
I was told by a friend that Voila was a must-​have for my repertoire of shops to stop into and shop for basics, always a good place to look for that perfect cardigan to put over some of my outfits and such.
The reviews here on Unilocal seemed to suggest too that the staff here would be nice references for style and combination thoughts, which is something I definitely need sometimes as I am constantly improving my look to be as presentable and fashionable as I can. So imagine my disappointment when instead I was met by nothing but disapproving stares and disgusted glares the entire time I was in the store. As other customers came in, I saw the sales girl greet them with friendly hellos and probing questions, but to me they kept making sweeping circles, keeping an eye on me but never talking to me.
There were a few cardigans and dresses that caught my eye, and I would have considered trying some of them out, but I wouldn’t spend a single dime of my money in a store that treated me like a criminal because I had on a (tasteful!) skirt. I’ve shopped in plenty of women’s clothing stores, from NY&Co to Forever 21 to Charlotte Russe with attitudes ranging from apathy to enthusiasm, but never have I felt less welcome to shop somewhere

I’ve driven by this shop a million times, and I finally walked in and bought a dress today. I had been at the gym and noticed a gal in a really lovely floor-​length tube dress, very summery and pretty, just the sort of dress you want to throw on after a workout and a shower. I asked her where she got her dress, and she told me, «Voila! Only 35 dollars!» So off I went in pursuit of a similar dress. The boutique is very reasonably priced! Nothing is over 50 dollars. They have a nice variety of dresses, tanks, yoga pants, and blouses. I saw a lot of things I would love to go back and buy. There were some gorgeous dressy blouses for only $ 12.99. Sizes seem to run S-​M-​L, and I’m a bit busty, so I considered myself lucky that the tube dress fit. Quality may not be as top-​notch as other clothing shops, but you get what you pay for. If you want a new piece of clothes for a cheer-​up or for a last-​minute need, you will find something cute here and won’t spend too much.

Volia Boutique is very good store with cute clothing. I’ve purchased many things from here, varying from dresses to earrings.

The clothes are cute, and I like going here when I don’t feel like going to the mall. However, I rated it only 3 stars because the service sucks.

I am forever seduced into this shop by those adorable long sundresses winking at me in the windows. Darn it. I just can’t get enough. From the first time I drove by this shop 5 years ago, I knew the second I walked in the door I was going to be in trouble. Or my wallet was. So, here’s the deal: the Good, the Bad and the Cute exist side by side in this… interesting little shop, so let’s break it down:
The Good:
–Super Cute Clothes
–Great Prices
–Big Selection
–Good Location
The Bad:
–Its a little funky — in that not so good odorific sort of way
–A lot of the clothes are cut for anorexic teenagers — which I, for one, am not — lol.
–The Dressing Room doors are like those little Saloon half doors. You know, the kind that only come down to your knee if you’re 5’4 or above? So be careful about bending over ladies.
The Pretty
–Sundresses
–Skirts
–Cardigans/​Wraps
You have to pick through to find the good and the pretty, but once you find it, it’s fabulous. I usually end up with armfuls of clothes to try on, and end up buying about three items, but it’s fun trying everything and laughing at the absurd, cause hey, let’s face it — there are some hooker clothes here too. Hookers are people too, everyone. :)
This is a great little shop, but don’t expect couture walking in here. I do have several sundresses that are approaching their 3^rd birthday and have held up amazingly well. And I constantly get complements on them. They also have LONG tank tops, you know the kind that cover everything you want them to?
Overall, this shop is a fresh breath of the Downtown LA Garment District for those of us who don’t have the time or energy to go all the way down there. It’s definitely worth a stop. You may just find a diamond in the rough.
And just in case any of you were wondering:
Disclaimer: I have never actually seen a hooker shopping here.

50% cute 50% Forever 21ish.
I either find really cute pieces not in my size M/​L, or nothing at all.
I HAVE found a couple really cute things there that I wear frequently. I have been stopping in Viola for 5 – 6 years now and only have purchased around 10 items.
A little overprices in my opinion. There sizes are very limited and some of the materials can feel sightly cheep.
I would prefer to shop at Zara.
Thanks & ENJOY!

I have been living just over a block from this place for over a year now. Finally I venture in and it smells a little dank – it stank. BUT the clothes are cute – lots of sweats and tanks, some unique outerwear pieces. somewhat cheaply made but this type of clothing isn’t supposed to be heirloom material or anything.
Then, I ventured upon the purses. I found two I absolutely adored and took one home. My husband said it was skanky. I took it back and got the other without a problem. I also visited the website for these purses – Nicole Lee, and Voila sells them for a lot cheaper! ;)

Very cool clothes here, some downtown LA stuff close by in the Valley. The dresses are ssooooooo soft, as are some of the standard t-​shirts & yoga pants. Lots of closet necessities like camis in every color, black pencil skirts & jeans. The jewelry is cool for costume stuff. The prices are pretty dang awesome, inexpensive, but you could pick out a few pricey pieces. I see myself stopping by often since in the 2 times over the last 2 weeks I’ve been there, so many new things! There is a lot in back off of Whitsett w/​free parking.

This store rocks! Some of the stuff is hideous, some (most) of it is cheaply made, the dressing rooms are a little on the exposed side… so how, you ask, does it still warrant a rocking four stars?
Because it is the absolutely best store in the Valley for going shopping. Their inventory changes constantly so there’s always new stuff to browse, it’s always similar to what you’ll find on the racks at similar stores like Forever 21, but it’s not the same as those generic whatevers, so you can look super-​cute and people say, wow, where’d you get that? I honestly think they may make some of the stuff themselves… Years ago I bought a skirt here, and I have never once worn it without being stopped and complimented. And I wear it a lot.
The cheaply-​made part? Who cares! These aren’t heirlooms, these are well-​priced items to wear for a season so that you can actually have one or two trendy things in your closet and not wear your highschool jeans all the time. Look, you get what you pay for. They have pricey stuff that lasts a while (like my awesome skirt) and they have cheap stuff that doesn’t. If some of the stuff is hideous, it’s only because somehow we can’t seem to shake the horrid ‘80s-influenced-I’m-a-homeless-billionaire-Olsen look. I don’t blame Voila.
Oh, and yoga pants. Cheap, wonderful, sexy yoga pants for $ 15. I kid you not.

This is the neighborhood «go-​to» boutique when you need to get something new to add to your closet. It’s not the place for special occasion outfits which makes it an even more relaxed place to shop.
Come to Voila for simple tops, casual outfits and the occasional flirty dresses.
The prices are unbeatable!

I grant you, the dresses are beautiful but seriously, this is all stuff I’ve seen before… at Forever 21 and for half the price. I didn’t see anything for $ 20, at least, not the dresses. I did see this gorgeous one, though, for a little under $ 40 so I look for my size and I can’t find one so I ask the staff person near me who looks at me and says «We don’t have one in ____(my size) anymore. They’re all sold out.» Okay. So, I ask if they’re getting a new shipment because I really like it to which she cooly gestures at the rack and says no.
Thanks.
Thanks for nothing

I love their style, some of it is trendy garbage but amongst the roughage you’ll find some niceties, not to mention some garments that are timeless and classy.
ALSO you’ll find clothes here that places like the closet on ventura will try to make you pay two to 3 times more, obnoxious!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. now if it were only closer to my house. They have the cutest clothes and summer dresses and they really are one of a kind. I found so many things i loved and i wanted to buy them all! They had cute exercise clothes too (like sweat pants, hoodies) and they are all TOTALLY affordable. I think everything is under $ 50.
The employees were nice but they were kinda doing the whole evil eye thing. like watching the customers like hawks! For real, i felt kinda uncomfortable at one point. BUT

#1500!
Since the very first day I started Unilocaling back in May of ’06, Voila was one of the stores I guarded with my life. I would check the listing to see if anyone had posted about it and up until Amy R (damn you!!!) popped its fashionable cherry on 6.11.2007, it was safe, sound and still my secret store. Grrr!!!
But now that Victoria and Amy have let the secret out, I thought I would dedicate my 1500^th to one of my favorite stores for adorable dresses in LA!
My first A-​line score here was this vixeny black dress with teensy white polka dots on it. Let’s just say, I have never been «unlucky» in this dress when I wore it on a date. Yes, it’s that cute and how much was it? $ 15.00
Then there was the white lace peasant dress that made its debut last Summer and still proudly hangs in my closet. That dress has earned me more free cocktails then I can count. And how much was it? $ 15.00
And who can forget the many cute tank tops, vintage-​inspired skirts and handbags that all came to be mine for around $ 8-​$ 20 a pop. Yep, they all came from this store and even though their prices have gone up a bit over the years since it’s increased in popularity, there are still so many deals to be had here, so if you are in the Valley, give it a whirl…
With that said, please leave me something to buy here. I know you clothes whores are grabbing your keys and checking your checking account balances as I type, but please, for the love of all things stylish, save me a dress or two.
Thanks.
