“I had the best experience shopping today with Jenn and Sha’re! I set up an appointment on relatively short notice to pick up a few items for a work trip to NYC this week where it’s gonna be hot, but I needed a polished look. They both heard my needs and surprised me every step of the way. I especially appreciated how to style the items for different looks and just the full playful fun of the whole session. Definitely want to hang out — I mean, shop — with Jenn and Sha’re again. I feel my elevated self in the pieces I selected and am looking forward to putting these items on with confidence this week.”
“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.”
“Extremely limited space to maneuver around, compounded by the fact that it’s always packed. Yet this has always been one of my favorite merch stores for years, so even with its shortcomings it’s still the best.”
“Africa Land is a hidden jewel of Durham NC. The stores owner ‘Utibe’ has consistently provided excellent service and one of a kind products.
There is literally a whole continent of items from health and beauty to art and jewelry to explore. We will keep coming back to patronize this great local business.
Be sure to put this store on your short list of places to frequently visit in Durham!

“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“Hometown Apparel is the place to get anything Durham! We had a guest from out of town and they wanted local gear. I did a search for local t-shirts and found this store. They additionally have caps, stickers, decals, some local foodstuffs and a whole section for babies and children. Great find and might come back myself especially for a Can Opener t-shirt. A must for anyone looking for Durham goods.”
“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.”
“They really went out of their way to help me with something they didn’t have to. Great customer service, and the people were very nice and friendly. The store is clean and well-organized”
“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”
“Richard was an amazing help and went above and beyond expectations. Helped with sizing, was incredibly patient and made a customer for life! Top tier service at this location.”
“i LOVEEEE this store!! great selection of products and all very well organized. the employees are all super nice, there was one person in particular who was super helpful!! they were managing the fitting room and were very sweet + respectful. they were professional and went above and beyond. would definitely visit again for this employee”
“The staff are always helpful and spirited. They carry a large supply of clothing, cosmetics and knick snacks at affodable prices. I shop there regularly for my clothing and cosmetic needs!”
“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!!!”
“Went their for the first time yesterday, got my first pair of nice simple black boots, put my spurs on them and they look great, the kind sir who helped me was wonderful and helped me pick out my first ever pair. The cashier at the front was very kind as well💜”
“dope spot in durham .. reese always takes care of me .. order everything online and it’s ready for pickup if i’m out of town shipping is super fast .. can’t wait to cop more .. love bro”
“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!”
“Great place to find great deals. Helpful employees and wonderful inventory in my hard to find size. Can't thank you guys enough for having beautiful things in such a wide variety of sizes!”
“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!”
“Flew from LA to met with Dj Nabs and my agent J..stopped by the official store to pickup my coustermize Durham Bulls Strangers Things Jersey and my comedy special rose to #1 much love to all the professional staff.
Much Love comedian Luke Duke ❤️”
“Great staff! I lost my car keys and came back and they had them locked up and safe. I’m so happy the team was all helpful and honest for me to get them back. I also found a great deal on clothes here, too.”
“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.”
“Awesome store, very friendly and helpful staff !We spent easily almost 2 hours the first time buying clothes for my wife and grandkids ??Then we went to the Food court inside the Mall, to have some dinner, delicious Indian food.And we went back out to the GAP, to buy more clothing for our daughter’s family for at least another one hour and a half.And all that time, they let me sit on(@) one of their display tables since I’m struggling with my back pain.The gentlemen, like Chris and Tay(or Té) and then another one whom I don’t want to butcher his Nigerian name , these guys were all very attentive and entertaining!Errol”
“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!”
