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 have found my dreams wrapped up in brick and mortar. The store was so many items I was overwhelmed. I will be back. I need time to wander and touch without feeling like I’m in someone’s way. If you are of the diaspora you will love this store. If you’re not from the diaspora you can at least appreciate the store.

I love this African boutique! This is one of the rare Gems of Durham! If you haven’t been please go. Exotique is the place you go to find unique, one of a kind finds. In a world where everything is so “copy and paste” same ole same ole, it’s a relief that I get to live so close to a rare Gem like Exotique.

I had the PURE PLEASURE of going to this AWESOMELY UNIQUE shop a few days ago. First of all, my Sister and I drove 45 minutes from Wendell, NC! I am NOT fond of Durham AT ALL! Yet, the SUPERB CUSTOMER SERVICE and truly one of a kind items!! A MUST have is the Coco Mango Shea Butter made by the Owner’s Beautiful Wife!! I FULL SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BUSINESS! And I assure you that I will DEFINITELY be coming back to Exotique SOON!
