Encounter

Encounter is one of the many small boutiques on the main broadway strip of Saratoga Springs. It features some popular designers, some lesser known designers, and some local designers. Since I usually shop in Beverly Hills, I would not consider this boutique «high end» ie you won’t be finding Chanel and Louboutin here. But it is definitely «higher end» than a fair amount of boutiques in Saratoga.
Some designers they feature are:
Alice + Olivia
DVF
Vince
Citizens of Humanity
Rachel Zoe
Gold Hawk
William Rast
Elizabeth & James
Michael Lauren
Gentlefawn
Art of Henri
Alkemie

What I love: Local designer goods – unique, one of a kind, made from the heart. I also love the hats. The hats for racing season are outrageous and so fun to look at and try on!
What I like: the quality of the clothing here is pretty good. They also have bathroom they allow patrons to use, thank god! The bathroom is standard and clean.
Service: I only met two women who work here. One is the owner, she is very helpful, knowledgable, and efficient… although she is not the warmest of people. The other woman is very sweet.
Prices: prices are reasonable for the brands they are carrying.
Overall would I come back? Perhaps, if the atmosphere would be a little more warm and welcoming.
