Im sad to write this as Carolina has been one of my favorite stores for many years - they always stock such beautiful items and the people who work there are kind, never pushy and always helpful. With that said - the experience of shopping there has changed...pretty dramatically. I won't pretend that Carolina was ever a place for a bargain - it's always been a high end store with items that would be considered splurges or even out of the range of possibility (for the majority of people). In the last year, the prices have skyrocketed. What used to be the highest priced item is now the norm. $600 sweaters, $800 slip dresses, etc. Listen I get it, it's Mill Valley and an increasingly wealthier demographic with inflation being insane. But also, this sucks? Your prices have literally doubled. What once felt like an occasional shopping treat now just feels alienating and over the top. The owner / buyers have the best taste in town - if you're reading this, could you please bring back some of the more moderately (reasonably) priced brands? I think a lot of the non ultra elite 2% Mill Valley-ites would be super appreciative and love to support you again. But as of now, it's literally impossible. For what it's worth this is not just an opinion of mine but fellow friends who just want to go back to their favorite Carolina. I appreciate you taking the time to read and consider!

Best shop in Marin, hands down. Been shopping here for years and always find new and old favorites. Great small brands that still feel special and curated. The ladies at the store won't steer you wrong.

Came in and visited with my mom today, walked out with a summer wardrobe. I haven't gone to shop for clothes in almost 2 years, and lost 60 pounds within those two years. Needless to say, I needed a glam up. LADIES THIS IS THE PLACE YOU NEED TO GLOW UP. The ladies made me feel like a million bucks. I'm horrible at shopping and especially going to a new store. I wasn't anxious, there is plenty of space. It's been maybe 3 or 4 hours and here I am Yelp-ing because I believe everyone should feel as beautiful as I did. Thank you again.

Really disappointed in the service from this boutique. 1/24 Purchased a coat from them via Garmentory. 1/27 Emailed boutique to check status of order, no response. 1/28 Emailed Garmentory to check status of order. They said that the boutique status was that they were still checking stock on the item, but they were not able to make contact with the boutique to verify this. 1/29 Afternoon - Called boutique to check status of order. They took down my name and said they would look into it and call me back. 3 hrs later - No call back, attempted to call them with no answer. Evening - Received an email from Garmentory stating that the boutique told them that they could not locate the coat and it was "likely shoplifted." Really disappointed in the poor communication. I missed out on purchasing this coat at a sale price from other boutiques because of their service.

The best thing about this boutique is the extremely friendly owner/stylist! Went in for some casual work clothes and had much luck. Will be back.

Everything at this shop is beautiful and unique. Carolina clearly has superb style! Nothing run of the mill or generic here. The staff was extremely attentive but not at all pushy. I'm very petite and hard to fit and it was like shopping with the best personal stylist ever! They kept handing me pieces that one after the other fit my body and style perfectly. I would have bought everything if I could! Plus the whole mood is super friendly and upbeat, not stuffy and uncomfortable like a lot of other high-end boutiques. This really is such a great place--can't wait to stop back in when I'm in the area again!

Where do I start? This boutique is incredible! The owner Carolina and all her staff are so warm and personable and not in the least bit "sales-y". When I go to the shop it is like meeting up with girlfriends - truly. A visit to Carolina Boutique is more like an experience. First, the place is filled with amazing designers I've never seen anywhere else. Carolina has an incredible eye for unique and timeless beauty. While the shop has amazing, high quality wardrobe staples everyone should have - I like to head to Carolina Botique for those times where I want to find something truly special and extraordinary. A beaded scarf necklace...the most perfect unusual summer dress...the perfect pair of coveted jeans no one else has. While you are in the shop the staff make you feel right at home - whoever you are! It's hard to explain, but I leave there feeling as if I've been pampered and whenever I wear the clothes I have the happiest feelings of when I was in her shop and feeling great about myself. There is really no other place I've ever felt that way. Carolina and her staff really make the shop special. It is a do not miss - and worth the trip over the bridge to sweet Mill Valley!

Carolina has been my favorite boutique in Marin for many years. The clothes have continued to keep getting cuter. I find designer items that I don't see in department stores. It is so hard to find amazing boutiques these days and Carolina has always been consistent. The jewelry is also amazing, definitely my go to for gifting ideas for my husband to get:) The sales girls are always very helpful, super stylish and never pushy. Love this place!

I just love their stores in Mill Valley and Novato - I walk out with something every time I go in.
