Obsessed with this place. If you've been looking to get away from fast fashion while trying to buy things with more longevity in combination with designer items, you NEED to peruse here. The prices are shockingly decent, and they have a TON more options than you would ever think. And if you're like me & need to see specific visuals of *how* to style certain items, give them a follow on Instagram. What really sold me was the daily postings of outfits they put together out of the vintage, designer, and/or local brands that they get in on a weekly basis. I know I probably sound like a huge plug/ad for them, but Darling x Dashing is SUCH a breath of fresh air to the Charlottesville area, which is STARVED for current & trendy fashion. I can't believe I waited so long to stop in for the first time a month or two ago.

Love love love this store!! It's super cute with practically something for everyone, both men and women. My favorite part was the interactive aspect in the dressing room of being able to write positive messages on a sticky note and posting it on the wall. How creative and uplifting! You can find clothes ranging from a few dollars (I got a pair of jeans for $6) to a couple hundred (marked way down though from the original price).

Great men’s selection. If you’re a size 9 there’s a prime pair of dark tan Timbs at a nice price

A cute little shop with a good mix of price ranges and some lovely brand selections. Very cute dressing rooms with kind notes from all the customers on the wall. Online shipping is fast and I received a cute thank you note and sticker with my order.I actually found an anthropologie jumpsuit I had been dying to buy that was sold out. Found it in my size, the right color, and half of what I would have paid at Anthropologie!

Bought a white tee online. Received it with a black stain, so I took a picture of it and sent it to them. They only wanted me to buy something else at a discount, but would not honor a refund, even though nothing was noted in the description that there was a black stain. It was even admitted by their own words, "I apologize that we did not catch the flaw in the item before it was shipped out. That was an error on our part, and I apologize for the oversight and understand your frustration." Had I known, I would not have purchased it. I thought I might give it to Goodwill, but I can't even donate it with a good conscience. It's unwearable. I buy and sell from Poshmark, where full disclosure gets us 5 star reviews; of course, I would never sell anything with a stain. This is not how you treat potential customers. Instead, it forces us to leave bad reviews. So buyer beware if you buy online. If it's defective, without you knowing, you're stuck with it. I will never buy from this place again. Shame on you for deceiving customers, and not doing the right thing when it was your admitted error.

I bought a shirt online from this boutique. I read the description and did not see that there were any stains. However, when I received it, there was a black stain on a white tee. There were no disclosures on the item description, and in fact, this was written to me after I sent them a photo of the stain: "I apologize that we did not catch the flaw in the item before it was shipped out. That was an error on our part, and I apologize for the oversight and understand your frustration." Instead of offering to refund me, they suggested I buy something else for a discount. That's opposite of doing the right thing. I love to give great reviews, but second hand or not, I would NOT have purchased it had I known there was a stain. AND this was on a white tee so it was not subtle. It's not wearable, and I would not even feel right giving it to Goodwill. I would never buy from DarlingxDashing Boutique again! So disappointed, especially since they admitted to their mistake. I took a photo of the stain, yet no refund. You can't treat people like that; sell them something without disclosing a defect, then admitting it and not dong the right thing. I buy and sell on Poshmark, and have never sold anything with a defect, nor bought anything without offering full disclosure. Shame on you.

A good deal more spendy than goodwill, but my buyer's remorse always turns into great appreciation of the classic new additions to my capsule closet. They usually last a long time and pair well with other things, and add some frenchy-chic to my style. I wish there was a Darling in every town, making thrifting gorgeously glamorous.

The unstable shelf in the store fell itself. It hit me and my pup. The staff didn’t apologize or ask if we were ok. She literally didn’t say anything. Not a good experience. Will not come again.

A small restaurant tucked away in an alley (hence the name) is probably one of the best dining places in Cville. It serves small plates along with a few larger ones. Some of our favs were the beet risotto, tuna carpaccio and the scallops. But everything was good. Excellent Euro wine list. They only have a small number of tables so reserve in advance if you can. The prices are on the higher end but worth it.

Darling is a wonderfully curated consignment with plenty of items from local artists mixed in. I love that they have events and a new masculine part of the store too. I love shopping here and can almost always find a fun unique piece to take home. I've never sold to them but I imagine that the offers would be fair. Most of their items are priced fairly too and seem to move through the store in a few weeks time.

LOVE!! Such a cute boutique/consignment shop! They have two floors- there's a men's side (dashing) and a women's side (darling). The women's side has an upstairs and a downstairs. They have lovely earrings, accessories, stickers, and an array of other items. They had a great selection of second hand clothing as well. HUGE fitting room - a huge plus!!! So nice!!! The service was excellent- super friendly and not pretentious at all. Will be back!!
