“Such a special place! I was in Durham for work and stopped by on a whim. My favorite shopping experience is one where you can talk to someone super smart and stylish who will talk you down from all your neuroses. On that front, V&V delivers! Everything they stock is beautiful and well made, and the women who work here are consummate pros who will take you, your concerns and your taste seriously. I had the best time talking to Nia, trying on pieces she picked out for me, and getting some stylist assists from Stephanie. One of their regular customers even helped close a deal by walking in wearing a great pair of jeans (tried them on + bought my own on the spot.) 10/10 retail experience.”
“Tigress is beautifully curated and thoughtful, and there is something for everyone. The ethos and heart of this place definitely stands out. Lou was amazing and such a big help in answering all my questions as I walked through the store! I found the sweetest dress and will definitely be back.”
“African Land is were my wife and I come for all our African attire. Yutubi is great and has everything you would need. He is always accommodating and friendly. We moved from Durham and was upset that he’s not in Lakewood but I can’t wait to visit the Guess Road location. Keep doing great things brother!”
“Clean store, workers were very kind and helpful even when asked upwards of four times for assistance. I'm a long time customer and will definitely be going back.”
“What a pleasant surprise find. This haberdashery/boutique has wonderful unique offerings for both men and women. Absolutely adding this store to my shopping destination list”
“I recently ordered my first item from AG Outfitters. After I submitted my order I realized I ordered the wrong camo print on the hat. I called them and they immediately corrected the issue and was able to get me exactly what I had intended to order before the shipment went out. Exemplary customer service and super fast shipping. Will definitely be a loyal customer!”
“Wide selection of rare items. My wife loves the Fulani earrings. Artist are actually there selling their art during shows. Ask for Hakim by name he is always helpful and he can look at a face and see challenges far in advance in time to keep things in check. They have a line of deodorant that does not hurt my sensitive skin. There is even a knowledgeable notary public there or on call just a few minutes away.Some of my favorite items are the hand bound journals the bamboo spears and staffs with the crystal or glass tips.My wife loves the henna artist that can come to the store and create henna works of art that are breathtaking.The unique collection of books like "Fatina and the gold Adornments" by S.M. Sheikh.Then, there is the jewelry. One of a kind artisan made pieces that stand out in a crowd. The bags like the over the shoulder denim two tone blue bag put such a smile on one customers face I had to take a picture. ? Exotique is one of thoses stores that you have to visit several times a year to get the full breathe of the items that are constantly brought up and replaced with a seemingly endless supply of eclectic gems from over 40 local artists from around the world. Where else are you going to find a Nnenna Freelon's grammy nominated cd selling next to an 8 year olds first commissioned very beautiful art "two dogs". I took pictures but go see for yourself and let me know if I am off even a little bit.”
“I was getting incredibly frustrated with finding a decent pair of jeans and after trying a few stores at the mall, I was about to give up! I decided to give Lucky Brand a try before I went home and I’m glad I did. Dionne welcomed me into the store right away and offered to help me find what I was looking for. She was very friendly, inviting, and knew what she was doing. The process of trying on jeans can be overwhelming, but it wasn’t here. It was easy and fun! I highly recommend shopping here, especially when Dionne is working. I will be back.”
“This store has an awesome selection of men's & women's & children's clothing, boots, hats, belts & jewelry, etc. The jeans from this store are the only jeans I wear. They fit great & are great quality. Lots of bling on some jeans for those who like to sparkle, like me. ? I have recommended this store to friends. Go-you will not be disappointed. Very helpful staff.”
“First time that my husband and I walked into this store and Gary made our experience excellent. He helped my husband find the right fit and took his time listening to our needs. This is our new favorite store and will be coming back to this one specifically because of the great customer service.”

“This store is a must!! You must stop in and take a look around. There is something for everyone. I love to come here to gather gifts for friends who are visiting. I also love to come in here to get a thing out two for myself.”
“Love this store. Cold weather brought me in and Kris, the sales person welcomed me with a warm smile and lots of options to help me find AMAZING new clothes (and a blazer) that work perfectly with my shape and size. Kris has a discerning eye and impeccable taste. I appreciate her suggestions and honest opinion on how different items look on me. I have had the best experience here from beginning to end. Not only did I find a perfect outfit for my event, (to be warm and elegant ), but I also found things that are timeless and flattering , including jewelry to accessorize. I will most definitely continue shopping here on line ( I am an out of towner ). With gratitude and appreciation, Myriam”

“Need to change their policies about online purchase when a price drop is involved. Should be able to call customer service and get a price adjustment especially when it occurs less than a week after purchase. You should not have to repurchase the items and return the more expensive items. Also if you do an online order and the package arrives missing items the customer should not be made to feel like they are lying about missing items and that Old Navy must do an investigation before issuing a refund even if the customer just wanted the missing item sent!!!”
“I know most skaters would say don’t shop here, but the staff is what makes it worthwhile. They’re humans too, just like the local skate shop. I don’t mind buying some tees from here or a hat, etc. Maybe not the best place to build a skateboard, but that’s not as important I feel. Thanks for the great service !”
“I had a fabulous experience on my recent shopping trip! I was pleasantly surprised to discover a great selection of products made from natural fibers. I ended up walking out with a gorgeous merino wool and cashmere sweater at a fantastic price point.
The customer service was exceptional—especially the fitting room attendant, who went out of her way to help me find additional sizes and styles that suited me perfectly.
If you’re looking for quality items and a truly enjoyable shopping experience, I highly recommend checking out Athleta!”

“I had a great experience with this Windsor! Caitlyn was amazing. Both attendees (Tyla & Caitlyn) were amazing with helping me. Both were prepping the store but they never stopped checking on me. Made themselves available. Was able to chat and get what I needed for an awards ceremony. Their stock was in season. The store was clean and organized. GREAT JOB LADIES!!! I’ll be back!”
“This boutique is exquisite, classy and up on all the latest styles. The owner is dedicated to the highest quality and service and is known for superior attention to detail. Phenomenal for high end alterations and best custom clothes”
“I had the best experience with Jade today. I am the Best Woman in my friends wedding this fall and needed a sexy and sassy suit to wear. I’d ordered like 6 online and none of them worked. They looked bad, felt cheap. I needed to go somewhere to try stuff on. It was recommended I check Express. Jade greeted me right away and when I shared with him what I was looking to do, he was excited to help me find options. We picked out pants, jackets, a shirt, a vest…and he escorted me to the fitting room. It felt like shopping with a friend. He gave me helpful feedback, grabbed a smaller blazer when I needed a better fit, and helped me get signed up for rewards to save a little extra $$ on my purchase. It was a level of customer service you just don’t see too often these days. And it wasn’t just me. The other gentleman working was just as helpful and attentive to his customers and those of us shopping were having such a good time, we were giving each other our advice on our favorite looks for each other. It felt like a truly boutique experience and I was so grateful for all of Jades help and kindness. I left with the perfect suit for the wedding and no more stress. Thanks Jade!”
“We were at Southpoint Mall yesterday after traveling from Virginia to have my daughter seen by her doctor at Duke. We used to live in the area and my daughters miss Urban Outfitters so we always stop in when we travel to Durham. While we were shopping a storm was brewing outside, we checked out and went to leave the store. While debating whether to try to make it to the car before the rain or go back into the store, the biggest bolt of lightning struck what seemed like feet away from us. (Now that I’m calmed down and less terrified, I’m thinking it struck the metal rod sticking out of the Cheesecake Factory. ?) We ran back into UO like lunatics. My 8 year old was absolutely terrified, shaking, and hyperventilating. I wish I had gotten her name but a blonde employee with the coolest outfit and the kindest smile came over and asked if my daughter wanted a cup of water to calm down. She checked on us often during the hour we were waiting for the storm to pass and her kindness was so genuine and appreciated. I made mad dash to our car once the rain lightened up and my girls ran to the car so I didn’t have a chance to thank her. Urban Outfitters is our favorite store and we especially love the one at Southpoint. If you are ever going to get nearly fried by a lightning bolt, UO at Southpoint is the place to do it. To the pretty blonde with the warm smile and excellent fashion sense, thank you for your kindness yesterday.”
“I loved the shirts I got here! I went in for the Simply Southern line and brought home two nice shirts. However, the location has been changed!! It is in the indoor part of the mall under Lens Crafters.”
“I love this store! The employees go above and beyond for you! I wanted the last size off the mannequin and a nice young man helped me and actually recognized me from being there last time!! Love that 10/10!!”
“Amazing staff. Everyone was very helpful.
Especially the guy at the cashier counter—I think his name was Jason. He went back and forth to find the perfect size for me and was very helpful.”
“Such a variety of clothes and jewelry and a decent amount of bags/purses that i always find myself there when i want to update my wardrobe for either my comfort days (days off work) or for my hostess uniform(s)! Friendly staff and they're really kind and fun to start a small conversation with!”
