Maxwell & Co

This is the best high end boutique on the cape (and islands too! Sorry nantucket) with an interesting and even price varied inventory sure to please the serious shopper. I travel from palm beach to Cambridge to New York – and this is one of my favorites for interesting and unusual finds. And the staff is friendly and helpful if you need that – they also are ok with just browsing, which I do a lot of. On the occasion that I am in Falmouth, I am so very glad to have this store to visit, buying or not.

I love this place, they have awesome clothing and great product lines. They have been around for quite sometime and a classic cape store. The staff is exquisite, the minute you walk in they greet you and are willing to help with anything you are looking for.
Another aspect is tailoring, my sister has had a few things shortened or taken in, and has been pleased everytime. If you’ve never been here, def make it a stop while visiting… you won’t be disappointed!

No doubt you might feel awkward if you go in here looking like a normal person. If you think splurging on a Marc Jacobs bag makes you a member of high end fashion, the prices in this store will curb any and all of that smugness. That said, the designers you find at Maxwell & Co make quality clothing and accessories that you likely can’t find anywhere outside the big cities. They do often have pretty decent sales at the end of the season, but 50% off $ 800 is still more than I want to pay for a pair of gloves. The only items I’ve ever purchased here were very much on sale and made of cotton. I tried outsmarting them and looked online to find a skirt I liked in their shop on the sale rack and literally couldn’t find in anywhere else, so if you’re looking for exclusive, obscure high fashion, and don’t mind spending the money, this place is a gem.
I often went in because I loved that they carried Kiehl’s products… and at the same prices as at the Kiehl’s store or Nordstroms, but over the last year or so things have gone very bad in this area. They were often out of the more popular products and twice I ordered them and never even heard back from the store. The most recent time was LAST Christmas almost a year ago and when I followed up 3 times in the store asking about the order they told me each time they were having «problems with the representative» and would call me when it came in. After almost 7 months of waiting for what was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my mom, I just gave up, never hearing anything from them. Not exactly the kind of service you’d expect from a store that charges $ 800 for gloves… then again I often feel like they’re wondering what I’m doing in their store wearing Levis.

Very expensive. They do stock the Kiehl’s skin line, which is super, but when I purchased a face cream the saleswoman told me I should think about getting myself some other products as well to «make me look more presentable.» That was last summer — I haven’t seen her since — but be warned, you’re working with the presumed crème de la crème. Usually the folks there are nice enough, that woman withstanding… sometimes its the shoppers who are the snobs.
