Such a wonderful, unique shop! I come every few months to see what's new and bask in the loveliness of the beautiful displays. The owner is super friendly and helpful; highly recommend for locals and visitors.

The chromatic display drew me in. Discovering French incroyable meets country diptych finery, I am hooked. Will be back to complete my apartment, and purchase some Heavenly gifts of Fraser Fir and more before Christmastime.

This store is amazing! It’s got everything you need to throw a dinner party, or run a very fancy hotel.

I had my original post taken down so I'll add it again.I am a tourist from a different state and I happen to stop by while walking back to my hotel. I came in and was looking around but I noticed one of the workers was following me around. A lady with black glasses was conspicuously looking to see what I grabbed. She had no disregard for her disgraceful actions in which perpetuates such a harmful and toxic environment. This is not the first time they have done this and other people have posted familiar experiences. How can a business be run this way? I am writing this post in the hopes that management will take the proper steps to discontinue such practices and educate themselves to be more mindful of their actions and educate themselves on using inclusive practices.There is no room for discrimination in any community!I hope my post does not get taken down again.

Such a wonderful shop. The ambiance is warm and welcoming as are the people who work there. An eclectic mix of things. So fun to poke around and make surprising discoveries! I’m only here for a short time but will definitely go back!!

One of the BEST for unique gifts, kitchenware, entertaining/hostess extras that set your table, home or party apart from the average. Great selection of fine CANDLES, hostess gifts, & just those little extras~from a gorgeous vintage serving piece, to a cashmere throw, to scented lotions & soaps that make life worth living!! Creative, timeless, high quality & always a helpful staff willing to answer your questions, help with a selection or tracking down exactly what you need. 1st Ave + PP Mkt locations.

My experience of this store was disappointing. I had looked forward to shopping at this store on a trip to Seattle. The buzzing in was so off putting. I know that Seattle has had issues with vandalism, but being buzzed into a store on a regular day with no crowds around spoiled the experience. Furthermore, though this store is beatifully appointment, both stores had no one else shopping in them. The store lacked the ambience of other customers, and there was whife of staleness because of this---like I am thinking how are they even in business? I went to both stores. The first time I buzzed there was a delay and I had to peer in to see if "anyone" was there.. The second time was equally unnerving--and spoiled the experience permanently. I would advise closing shop if you need to have constant buzzing in and out. This is not Paris---and this is not Louis Vuitton. Beautiful things, lovely taste, but WAY too guarded.

I visited this specific location on Saturday, November 27th. During my visit, I purchased a coffee mug and requested to have it bubble wrapped for shipping. The store clerk obliged and I left the store. I arrived at my hotel and unwrapped the mug to find the handle was broken. I contacted the store and left 2 voicemails including one post on Facebook and messenger. Hoping to hear back soon.

I’ve been visiting Seattle with our 2 youngest daughters and checking everything off of their to-do list….saving my wants for last. I saved the last hour of our day on a Saturday to stop in at Watson Kennedy while the girls hit the shops in Westlake. My bad. I arrived at Kennedy Watson a little more than 1 hour before their posted closing time (which is supposedly 6p.m.) and buzzed for entrance - per the signage. A handsome man opened the door and promptly turned around to lock it front he outside while informing me that they were closing early. Never mind what is/was posted on the website or the front door, I wasn’t gaining entrance even though I was a potentially paying customer. Upon investigating their website I can see why I didn’t matter. Perhaps the “made for Watson Kennedy in France” and a few currently existent loyal and/or wealthy clientele assuage the proprietors enough to feel comfortable turning away anyone at any time. Never mind. Anyway, upon perusing their offerings online, I realized that very few of the items in their store are very unique or interesting. What had drawn my eye in the first place was the Cornish Ware- since I have an small collection. As a business owner the Bottom line is this: every client matters.

Bigger than you'd think from the front entrance. Great luxury and Euro-import home store w/ upscale vintage mixed in.

I wish i could give this a million stars! One of Seattle's finest shops. Unique, gotgeous and inspired inventory. The shop is divided into color coded sections and it is the best eye candy.

The last time we were in Seattle we had the best shopping time in Watson Kennedy and then went back the next day! Great ideas and presentation of so many wonderful items.

This place is 100% beautiful! If you ever need a gift before going over to someone's house for dinner, housewarming, get well gift or even something to give to yourself, this is one of the gems in Seattle's crown. The store is an experience of superb merchandizing and atmosphere! I sometimes go jus for the soaps, and candles, and wrapping paper....It's French, it's artistic, it's refined and fun! The owners the "teds" are always finding the best of the best and curating it into both stores. Great place to build a gift basket. I have been a loyal customer for many many years! Follow them on Instagram too! Truly inspirational!!!
