Velvet Lounge

Super chic spot! I recently moved to Frederick from the Tyson’s area in VA, and needless to say I have been missing my old shopping spots. I was so excited when I stumbled across Velvet Lounge because they carry unique pieces that would otherwise be impossible to find in this area. It’s no surprise they were ranked #1 in Women’s Clothing in the recent Best of Frederick contest. They have pricier items for sure, but they always have something for everyone. If you sign up for their emails they’ll let you know about the sales they have, which is great. My only complaint is that I would love for them to have more inventory! I totally understand that space and demand are probably contributing factors to their inventory size, but their buyer just has such great taste that it’s hard to not want more! Especially shoes and candles, if you’re reading this VL :) I’ve always received friendly and not pushy service from the staff. Keep on doing what you’re doing, Velvet Lounge!

Awesome boutique for ladies clothing! It has a fun collection of clothing from brands such as Free People, Obey, Joe’s Jeans & Hudson. The owner April & buyer Erycka are awesome! They are very helpful when it comes to helping you get that perfect outfit! Oh and they have great sales!

Overall, the store isn’t my style. As everyone says, they carry tons of Free People and similar brands that are too boho for me. However, I enjoy browsing through the store, especially the accessories section. I even saw a Rebecca Minkoff bag once– imagine that in Frederick!
What I love about VL is the sale section! You’d think a pricy store like this would only mark stuff down 10 or 20% but nope, when something’s on sale here the prices are marked down to rock bottom! In the spring, I got what I think is a pretty unique Obey letterman jacket for $ 30 when it was originally over $ 100. This past weekend they had a sidewalk sale and I scored Toms wedges for $ 24. They had regular Toms as low as $ 13!

I would have loved to try on some of the gorgeous jeans and boots in the store but my daughter and I were utterly ignored by the two sales associates on duty — literally not a word of acknowledgment from either of them and we were the ONLY customers in the store on a quiet Thursday afternoon. Such a shame, because there were some lovely things I would have seriously considered purchasing. I encourage the store owner to rethink her customer relations strategies. Good customer service will lead to more sales. It’s a proven fact. Just check out research by Zapnep Ton from the Sloan School of Management at MIT.

The Velvet Lounge Boutique is a wonderful boutique! I went in here on Wednesday, and the atmosphere of the store is feminine. the sales associate was friendly and she gave me some useful advice about TOMS shoes because I was making my very first purchase of TOMS shoes. The sales associate was very nice and the transaction went very well. The thing I don’t like about this boutique is that they don’t carry plus sizes, which is a bummer, however, I plan to buy more TOMS shoes from this store.

Velvet Lounge is an awesome boutique. It has so many unique pieces and brands that I almost always have to travel to Bethesda to find. I’m so glad that I found this gem in the heart of downtown Frederick! If you’re a trend junkie, like me, you will love all of the Free People pieces and contemporary denim designers here. I love that they have TOMS shoes here too.
Make sure you set aside enough to time to look around the store for what you want, as it is extremely difficult to get the assistance of any of the employees.

Super cool. Super expensive.

Cute trendy store filled with mostly Free People clothing. A little pricy, but it’s at least eclectic and not the standard H&M/Forever 21 crap.
However, trying to find a sales person to help you is a Herculean task that I just wasn’t up to dealing with. I know, I’m not exactly their target demographic, but I was trying to buy something for someone who is. However, I walked away empty handed (which is just as well). Eh.

velvet lounge is expensive, yes, but they have a lot of eclectic and fashionable items there. they carry a great selection of Free People and Obey, which are two brands I can only usually find online. I bought a fantastic Obey jacket for about $ 150 which was worth the money. everything in there is worth spending a little extra on but it’s good to maybe get a staple piece and do the rest of your wardrobe shopping elsewhere.
my only complaint is one day we showed up at opening time and no one was there, we were actually in a hurry and had to be somewhere. we decided to stop over at Pitcrew for a few minutes and wait to see if they opened. a young girl showed up about 30 minutes later and seemed very tired and grumpy that she was even there. we had to rush. i don’t know if this is a common occurence here but it was annoying!

Awww I remember this store being totally vintage, so when I walked in to find it had changed into a boutique I was a bit sad. Of course be prepared to pay boutique prices as well, the clothing was very cute and I saw several pieces I liked, but not enough for the price tag. I was lucky because when I checked the clearance rack I scored a $ 70 shirt for $ 18, hells yea! Can’t wait to return when I’m in the area.

I love this boutique. They have all the brands of clothing that I can’t get anywhere else besides ording online. The store itself is beautiful and the owner April is very helpful and friendly. I buy a lot of my clothing here.

This place wins points just for having such a big Free People section. That being said, they have a decent selection and pretty jewelry. Definitely would come back here.

When I saw this place I thought «does U street Velvet Lounge have a Frederick counterpart»? no no, this is a young womans’ clothing store. Some decent mid-​brand lines. And the clearance has some decent reductions, but I didn’t walk away with anything.
