Lost & Found

What a lovely shop! I found my spirit dress hanging on their sale rack — it’s an indigo-​colored, embroidered, vintage South American mid-​length smock with side ties, and it makes my heart sing!!! Thanks to the lovely ladies running the place who made it clear that this piece belonged to me. Will wear it for the rest of my life!

Lovely shop, really nice selection of men’s and women’s clothing. Great accessories as well — jewelry, hats, etc. Really love everything I’ve purchased.

So my boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place months ago. He lives in the area and I just wanted to see what they had. I was not disappointed! They are a nice little boutique with very tasteful, vintage clothing of great quality! We went back today and I got a couple pieces for my fall work wardrobe as a substitute teacher/​school counseling intern. Really this place is great for quality clothing that is just different enough to be stylish and not strange. They also have very reasonable sale prices and nice menswear! The shoes they carry are even noteworthy! Definitely a great place to check out if you’re in the market for a little flavor in your style!

This wonderful boutique was a great find, the sale prices are terrific and so much to choose from, I’ll definitely make the trip back there from the burbs.

My family went for a walk the afternoon after Passover. We stopped on the corner to in front of this store to regroup and make a plan. This lady came outside and told us to move along in the rudest of ways. Maybe her store is good but damn.

I think I get the reviews that are either 5 stars or 1 star, because I went here twice on my latest trip to Philly to visit my friend and the customer service experience was bipolar.
First, the shop itself is chock full of awesome. I mean we are talking LES boutique meets Cobble Hill shop — putting meg and kaight and the like to SHAME with their way way way more affordable prices. Nothing is cheap, but it’s more along the lines of banana republic prices than like Dior (some of these other boutiques can get a little cray. I’m looking at you Bird). I picked up an X ring and a little triangle layering necklace and have been complimented on both multiple times in the week since. I eyed this adorable Cosby style sweater in fall colors and my gf had her eye on this divine silk dress. Just a nice array of bags, accessories and clothing in very contemporary, boutique-​y styles.
As I mentioned, the first time we went in my gf was SO excited to show me the place where she had bought her «Beyonce romper» bc yes, gf can pull that shit off. And bubbly and excited she took me inside the shop and proceeded to compliment the owner for her previous help, the wares and etc. The owner (older lady w glasses) stared at her like she had three heads and like she had her finger hovering over 9−1−1. She was absolutely Ice Cold and blankly stared at my friend. It was so off putting that I put down the necklace I had my eye on and encouraged my confused friend to take me for coffee. Friend was all: «wow, I guess it’s just my midwestern-​ness showing, that I thought she would remember me/​appreciate how great the outfit I bought at her shop w her help had been received…»
But a day later, the jewels burning in my mind, I asked my friend to go back so I could get them. So affordable btw, a lovely ring $ 40 and the necklace $ 38. The owner was all smiles and even engaged us as we had a back and forth about the trials and tribulations of dating in Philly. The owner chuckled at «dating today, it’s crazy!» and rang me up with a smile, after helping me get the things I had wanted from the case. It was night and day from the day before.
So yeah, TL;DR but I’m giving it four stars for the stuff in the shop in terms of style and prices and the location itself, but knocking one off for completely bipolar service.

I stopped in on a trip and so glad I did. The items were unique, fun and affordable. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and easy to talk to. I ended up leaving with a pair of fantastic boots half off. If I ever make it back to Philly I will be sure to stop in. Thank you for a great experience!

I am a big «shop small/​local» person and have been buying clothes in Lost & Found for several years. I can’t say that I’ve ever been treated in a warm, friendly manner upon entering the store, but I like to browse on my own so it has never been a big deal to me before today. Last week, I bought a dress in the store but passed on a sweater on sale. Today, I happened to be in the neighborhood and popped in to see if the sweater had been sold because I wanted to buy it. I walked in carrying a large cup (with a lid) that was about a quarter full of iced tea from Café Olé next door. I noticed there was no «no food or beverage» sign hanging anywhere. I walked over to the sale rack and waited a few moments for a couple of women who were browsing to step aside. I saw that the sweater was still on the rack and reached up for it.
At that moment the older woman with glasses, who is an owner and to whom I’ve handed my credit card many times, literally swooped in from nowhere and physically tried to grab my iced tea cup while saying in a loud voice «I’m putting this on the counter» in a very mean voice. My reaction was to tightly hold onto my cup because I thought there must have been an iced tea bandit accosting me. I quickly realized it was the owner yelling at me in front of a lot of other shoppers. At that point, I calmly said, «that’s okay, I was just leaving.» I was not loud or rude. In response, this woman said «OKAY GOODBYE!» in a high pitched even ruder manner than before. I’m pretty sure I looked at her and just blinked. I then informed her that (1) I have bought a lot of clothes in her store, (2) that there was no reason to be so rude to me, (3) I was holding my nearly empty cup in a careful manner, mindful that I was in a clothing store. I got a blank stare and silence in return.
Needless to say, I won’t be back for the sweater or anything else in Lost & Found. I am amazed at the manners, or lack thereof, of a person working in retail. I could understand if I was a child whose parent was not paying attention to me or something else but her behavior was so inappropriate and over the top I had to take the time to write this review. I will in the future spend my money in the other great shops in Old City. P. S. I do apologize to the woman if she was just very thirsty or dehydrated.

Lost and Found is one of my favorite stores in Philadelphia. The clothes are beautiful and reasonably-​priced. And the owners are great! They are always willing to help with an opinion and they are one of the few stores on the block that allows full returns after 10 days. Many of the garments have the same bohemian feel of Anthropologie but are more unique (and for half the price!) I work across the street from Lost and Found and try and visit regularly!

I popped into Lost & Found over the weekend and walked out with two shirts for a little over sixty bucks total. The collection of tops, bottoms and dresses is small but nicely curated, and the sizing of the pieces seemed to be more in line with women’s clothing than junior’s clothing, which is often an issue with boutique stores. I also noticed that mostly everything I looked at was reduced in price. Not sure if I was just there during a sale or what, but I was happy.
The dressing rooms have super breezy curtains — be cautious! The mirrors are located outside the room and on a slant. The owner promised me that no one had ever returned an item due to false advertising in the slanted mirror! I tried my shirts on as soon as I got home and liked them just as much as I had at the store, slanted mirror or not. I’ll definitely stop back in the next time I’m shopping in Old City.

Last Monday was my first time at this place and I’m totally obsessed! We came to look at old city boutiques and found out pretty quickly that not a single one of them opens on time, so we walked around a bit before we could shop.
It was worth the wait! I will absolutely be returning, they have a great selection and everything is cute. It’s not over-​stuffed and it’s easy to look through, and I especially liked their selection of pants/​jeans in addition to all the tops/​dresses. A bunch of purses and scarves too! It’s more affordable than some of the other boutiques, but just as adorable, if not more. Plus it was very comfortable shopping here, I didn’t feel pressured to buy like I did in Sugarcube.
I will be making this one of my frequent destinations!

Great boutique! I second what the other reviews have said — great and affordable prices and I love the styles that they keep in stock. Great variety and as others have mentioned — I very much appreciate the very friendly service without EVER feeling pressured to buy. Always my go to spot in the neighborhood!

I just found a great pair of $ 15 sunglasses here. The shop is packed with stylish accessories, especially bags. I’ve been thinking about how I need to go back for a few pairs of the shoes ever since my first visit. Non-​leather purses ran about $ 35-​$ 50.
Shoes were high quality and seemed to be from $ 80-​$ 150. Dresses were around $ 60-​$ 180. There were two staff members casually parked behind the register, who did not acknowledge me until I had been there about 15 minutes. They were polite and warm when I made my purchase. I’ve worked a lot of retail, and typically you’re supposed to greet people, but I’m the type of shopper that just likes to be left to browse, so this service was perfect for me.

I really, really adore this place. As far as affordable boutiques in Old City go, this place is as good as it gets. The only problem is, I could literally spend an entire weeks’ pay on new clothes/​shoes/​accessories, and I wouldn’t even feel guilty about it. They have one-​of-​a-​kind dresses, sweaters and tops. They even have some really great shoes and handbags at affordable prices. If you’re in town for a weekend, or are new to the city, or even if you’ve lived here all your life, you’re doing yourself a great injustice if you haven’t been to this spot yet.

I love the boutiques in Old City. Most are more for window shopping than buying, as they can be pricey. Lost + Found, on the other hand, is a go-​to.
They have great clothes – many cute dresses – you won’t find elsewhere, organized well and for really reasonable prices. The jewelry selection is varied and unique. Not to mention that the owners/​operators are super nice and helpful.
Great shop for gifts for others (or for yourself.)

i absolutely, positively love this store. they carry beautiful clothes and really great jewelry, and other accessories. they have stuff for dudes, and my dude who hates clothes and shopping even likes coming here. they carry brands you don’t see everywhere in philadelphia and i think they’re very fairly priced-​plus the sale section is always bountiful and you can find some really great things! they have an entire section of carefully chosen vintage, too.
the best part about them though is the owner/​staff. they are without a doubt the most helpful, friendly people. i fell in love with a coat there that they no longer had in my size and they FOUND IT ONLINE SOMEWHERE ELSE ON SALE for me! how many stores would do that? can’t say enough good things about these ladies/​this store. plus, they’re dog friendly so your four legged buddy can give you the thumbs up or thumbs down.

One of the few Olde City boutiques that I can tolerate and ENJOY rather than being immediately grossed out by an air of entitlement. ALWAYS an awesome selection of new and vintage sold by ladies who know their style. One of the only places in the city to find things from Tulle!

I live in the neighborhood and have been shopping here for years (mostly just out of convenience). The past several times I’ve gone in, the owner has been seriously obnoxious — like uncomfortable glaring, no greeting whatsoever, very snippy, etc. It’s so bad that I found a necklace that I really loved and went out of my way to order it online and pay for shipping so as not to give them the business or have to deal with their seriously poor attitude. Not sure what her problem is, but it’s not worth the shitty customer service and awkward vibe like they’re staring at you to shop in there. Most of the clothes they carry are also in several of the other neighborhood shops (which are sooo much friendlier and carry tons of cuter things). Lost and Found can get lost.

Lost and Found is in my neighborhood and I always make a point to make a stop once a month to browse and hopefully find something I like.
There I see great collections of clothing that fit all body types. This is very important to me because I am a classic apple shape; in our societies obsession of thin women, clothing that fits everyone else can be hard to find outside the mundane department stores.
The jewelry is nice and the shoes, oh the shoes. They carry Poetic Licence, which I have never seen a boutique carry.
If you happen to walk in, like our friend Christina, and the two ladies behind the counter do not happen to greet you, don’t take it seriously nor get offended. The two ladies behind the counter do an amazing job operating the boutique and will always assist you with all of your needs.

Most affordable boutique on Third Street Row and perhaps even in all of Old City.
Accessories galore with reasonably priced shades, jewelry, scarves, hats and shoes. One of the very few stores that carries my Orla Kiely {sigh} and that always has a good deal of it on sale too (and no, I will not tell you how many of her wares I’ve bought here. Okay, well, it’s more than 5. but she’s mine all mine!).
I’m not always crazy about the clothes selection, though it’s casual and relatively well-​priced — Also, I do wish she carried more sizes for those women that actually have breasts and a butt (but that’s another story for another time).
Either way, great place for accessories and sale items. A must stop on your Third Street shopping tour.
