Francesca Collections

Awesome place for funny/​cute/​small/​personable gifts for whichever occasion! The staff is always so friendly, which is a plus.

If I could give this store 10 stars, I would. It’s hidden in a corner that I normally do not venture to when at Merrick (next to Equinox) but my boyfriend found it last year while Christmas shopping and it’s only until now that I’ve found myself browsing their awesome merchandise. They’ve got a great selection of EVERYTHING from jewelry to dresses to handbags and they are all reasonably priced. You definitely will not be breaking the bank if you shop here.
What made my first shopping experience even better was the sales associate who helped us. His name is Matthew and he is an absolute dream! He was charming, funny, honest and not too pushy. He is an asset to the store and delivers the kind of customer service that makes you want to come back and spend all your hard earned money on their goodies.
I would highly recommend stopping by, if not for their clothes then for their trinkets. They have never ending treasures!

This store is next to Equinox @ Village of Merrick Park.
This store is super cute & they really have lots of cute gifts & and vast selection of jewelry that matches with your wardrobe.
I bought this gorgeous blouse, cute measuring spoons shaped into stars, & a purse hanger.
They have lots of cute cute dresses & the prices are definitely reasonable.
I enjoy this store & definitely will be going back!

A part of me doesn’t even want to write this review because I don’t want this place getting all packed’n’such — and I’d like to keep the youngsters at Forever 21 where they belong so they don’t take over another cheap clothing store I like and make me feel all old and awkward for shopping someone I’ve been shopping at since they were watching Yo Gabba Gabba or Spongebob or Faces of Death Part XIV or whatever kids watch nowadays — but when my sister gave me a tip that went something like «check out this place called Francesca’s in Merrick Park, It’s like Anthropologie except everything’s under $ 30» I went like, two days later and was pretty pleased.
By no means is their clothing of fantastic quality nor is it really Anthologie-​like, more like a scaled down H&M if H&M was heavy on the BoHo look, which I like a lot. Lots of flowy empire waist dresses, all under $ 40, cute sweaters, cardigans, skirts, things of that nature. Also have a lot of gag/​counterculture stalking stuffer type gifts that you don’t need but are always tempted to buy — crapola like snakeskin lipstick holders and sushi magnets (although I’m not sure if they actually sell sushi magnets there, just an example). They also have a lot of chunky necklaces, bangle bracelets, and earrings all in the $ 10 – 18 range.
Good place to buy trendy clothes in bulk that’s sure to fall apart by the time the trend’s over.
