What an amazing store! It’s beautifully merchandised and smells great. It must be all of the beautiful soaps, candles, and body products they sell. They have an impressive selection of men’s products including shaving and beard oils which I purchased. There’s an excellent jewelry selection as well, many of which are local artisans. And be sure to check out the beautiful alpaca blankets and throws. We’ll definitely visit again next time we’re Portsmouth!

Cute store with wonderful and friendly staff who go the extra mile! They wrapped a gift we bought in a cute little bag and spent the extra time to make it look pretty, just because!

I’ve been in this shop several times it’s certainly a staple in the experience that is downtown Portsmouth HOWEVER there is more to this place than just the unique and beautiful items throughout the store. I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with who I believe to be the owners of the store. I fell in love with a ring that with my luck didn’t fit. There was a very friendly woman behind the counter who offered to go above and beyond to find another ring my size that I could fall in love with. The time and effort this couple put into helping me find the perfect ring is the rarest occurrence especially in todays society. It’s so unexpected to find people that go above and beyond for a stranger for little expected benefits of their own. Thank you not only for offering our city such a beautiful local shop but for being sincerely kind people.

I am absolutely in love with this shop! Located n the heart of downtown Portsmouth it exudes what the city is all about...it has heart, charm, character and diverse choices of jewelry and accessories...each one more gorgeous than the next! Brie has curated the most beautiful shop and her window displays are second to none! The shop is cozy and welcoming and thoughtfully laid out. There is something for everybody and every budget.Prelude and it's owner are true gems! One of my all time favorite shops to frequent!

Perfect source for unique gifts. Top-notch personalized service, including back story of every item. Prices range from very dear to amazingly affordable. I dare you to find a gift for someone special WITHOUT also buying a must-have for yourself. My 90-year-old uncle still treasures a hand-made comb I selected for him 2 years ago. I have shopped here several weeks in a row and always find something I overlooked before. The treasures per square feet is incalculable.

What a beautiful & unique store. Prelude is a cornerstone to the Portsmouth downown retail area for all that is charming. They carry both local and world class soaps and bath products. There is also a great variety of jewelry from all over New England, USA, and abroad. Stop by, visit a Portsmouth legendary location, and shop!
