Francesca’s Collections

Like most of their stores, it’s a bit small/​cramped — but they sure pack it full of goodies!
While they have cute things, I usually find myself walking out empty-​handed. I just don’t find the quality to be on par with their prices. I think because they give off the boutique vibe, they think they can charge fancy boutique prices — and, TBH, that’s just not gonna fly with me.
NOW — I do go here occasionally for gifts. For example, Christmas shopping this year, I found some cute earrings — and they had a sale going, which was «Buy 1, get one half off». Ok great, so i got a couple pairs of earrings for gifts. And then I also found a cute little super-​wallet (larger than a wallet but not really a purse) to give as a gift as well, and it was 20% off. So at $ 21 I found that a fair price.
They really do have some cute things: purses (GREAT purses!), wallets, jewelry, clothing, scarves, trinkets and silly oddities, wall hangings, hats etc. They really have a wide variety of things to look at.
Definitely worth checking out!
My only real negative was Xmas shopping this year — i was there 4 days before Christmas and it was absolutely pandemonium. They only had ONE PERSON checking out, and one person at the dressing room. The line was bout 15 minutes long, and 8 – 12 people deep. It was infuriating. Why wouldn’t they schedule more people to be working at the busiest time of the year?
