Francesca’s Collection

I love this store. I can always find (multiple) items for whatever event I’m looking for and the employees are wonderful. Nice and genuine and will help you find whatever you need! For this location– I almost never write Unilocal reviews but I went in here today and they were so great. I’ve shopped here a bunch of times but today I was looking for a graduation dress and against my normal shopping habits, when the staff asked if I was looking for something specific, I told them what I was looking for. They asked me if I had any rules, pulled some dresses for me to try on and were extremely helpful without overdoing it.

I typically like Francesca’s…I shop at the other locations often enough. Was hitting up some shops on Magazine on Saturday. Looking to get some vacation wear. Not here! Not because they don’t have the inventory, because they do. But, the sales girls… well, they were terrible. Three of them, standing behind the register counter, looking at their phones, laughing & telling stories, didn’t look up once and greet people in the store. I wasn’t the only one shopping, they weren’t paying attention to anyone! Sounds like one of them had quite the night out the night before… also one of her friends was videoing something and apparently it was hilarious. The fact I know all this speaks to the length and volume of their conversation. No worries, walked down the street to another boutique and got some outfits. Customer service is super important. Those girls… I can’t.

Wow.
So I stopped in here with the intention of purchasing something to wear to a dinner tonight. The clothing was so-​so, not well-​made and not the best material. The accessories were interesting. What made it a one-​star place, however, were the sales girls. It was not busy, five customers in the whole place, and the two sales girls couldn’t be bothered to ask if anyone needed anything. I dunno, maybe they don’t get a commission, but whatever the case, the customer service was awful.

I can always walk in here and find excatly the outfit i had in my head. Prices are always surprising in a good way! Service is perfect. I seriously barely shop anywhere else!

I spent $ 250 here last week and a pair of pants I bought happened to be on sale. Realized they were the wrong size and when I went in to exchange for the same exact pants in a different size they said I had to pay the difference as the sale was over. I call bull shit on that and I will remember that and not shop here again. Sucks for them because I tend to spend a lot of money in there. Customer service tends to get lost in chains like these. Bummer.

Always a cute boutique in any city, trusty with a great eye for trend. Fantastic selection of jewelry, reasonably priced. Frocks are cute and decent quality, esp. handy if you’re in a pinch. Generally a great shoppe for gifts.

Absolutely loved this place! They have the best accessories and clothes and girls there are really nice. I’ll definitely be back there soon!

O.M.G… I can impulse shop the crap out of this store!!!
So, I’ve definitely hit that age where Forever 21 or XXI or whatever is a bit too cheap and a bit too young (sometimes), and I actually have the money to spend more but I really don’t want to drop big $$$ on every article of clothing or accessories.
This is where Francesca’s comes in! This store is full of totally cute and affordable clothes, bags, and jewelry! There are some really classic things, like I just got this perfect black bag for going out, and there are some items on trend, like the feather earrings I also bought!
I just happened to be passing through NOLA, but I’m so happy that there is a Francesca’s by me in Seattle!

One of my favorite clothing stores. While they don’t have petites, I still can find lots of options that fit. Cute jewelry and accessories too. Prices are very reasonable

YES YES YES!!!
I thought I was the only person who died and went to heaven in this shop but according to the reveiws, everyone seems to be pleasantly surprised at the collection of jewelry, dresses, scarves candles and small gifts along with the affordability of them
I have literally NEVER been to a boutique in another city that carried so many thing I wanted AND could afford. I almost went crazy!!! So sad I waited until my last day to visit.
What sets this place apart from other boutiques (including those nearby) is that #1 it’s a boutique but they have variety… not just 10 items in 2 sizes #2. they carry large… not the 1930’s version of a Large that’s a size 4 today. And #3 its seriously affordable particualry for the quality… I’m not talking $ 80 paper thin tees. Dresses + skirts $ 44, Bauble necklaces $ 18 – 28 Earrings $ 9 – 20! Like seriously!
I purchased 2 pair of earrings and a necklace for my mom. EVERYTING is this store is so freakin, cute! I cannot WAIT to come back and do some serious damage!

My inner shopping diva thrives here. It’s hard for me not to try on and buy everything! Whoever is responsible for the merch-​buying stays true to the current and upcoming seasons, and they have just enough edge to keep you chic this season and classic enough that you’ll want to re-​wear it the next year. And the prices! My budget is so pleased!
It seems they limit the items they order so I won’t find someone else with the same clothes, making it easy to avoid a party faux pas. Whether I need a piece to frisk up my work attire or an attention-​getting top for the cocktail party, I find great buys here frequently. It’s like an original Ann Taylor Loft meets Uptown Magazine Street, and my wallet’s plastic companion doesn’t melt.
The staff is super friendly and attentive. As soon as they see me with a couple of items, they are sure to hold them on the side for when I’m ready to try them on in their dressing rooms. Their presentation I think really pulls everything together, too.
They have a plethora of adorable gifts to browse as well. I am always picking up a clever thing or two for a girlfriend’s birthday. Gift cards are always a safe bet, too, but I personally don’t want to give away my gift supplier. They also have chic gift bag designs for when you are picking something up last minute, or want to save a trip to another stop for another one.
When you join their mailing list, they’ll keep you informed of Looks of the Week and other great sales with 20% off most times. Definitely worth paying attention to.
The only thing that sucks, is their hours. I wish they were open later.
Great location
Great atmosphere
Great gifts
Great staff

Adorable stuff! A great selection of accessories and dresses, its the perfect place if you need to put together an outfit at one store! I felt like some of the items were a bit pricier than the same quality in mall stores, but worth the extra few dollars to get something unique and not have to go to a mall. Plus all the girls working there were super sweet and friendly, so I can’t wait to return!!!

I first noticed Francesca’s Collection as I drove around looking for an apartment on my quick two day trip to New Orleans.
Somehow I ended up living right near the Magazine Street store! Still, it took me a few months to make my way in here– and I can’t believe I missed out on Francesca’s for so long.
It’s just a good store. There are cute fashionable clothes at reasonable prices. There are sales sections. Shoes, belts, bags, jewelry, scarves, and other accessories are on little tables throughout the store. There are also great nicknacks like notebooks, measuring cups, etc. I got a hot/​cold waterbottle thingy that is just so adorable and works!
I feel like Francesca’s may be my go-​to store for clothes!

I had never heard of this boutique before heading to New Orleans on my most recent trip, so while walking down Magazine Street, you can imagine my immediate infatuation with the place. The prices are very affordable, most everything in the store was around $ 20-​$ 38. I found an amazing lacey black top, which I had been looking for FORVER. I was not aware that Francesca’s Collections was a chain so I will certainly be looking for more stores popping up!

This was my first stop on a long stroll down the beautiful boutiques along Magazine St. and I was completely blown away. I had to slap myself a couple times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Everything is sooooo adorable and everything is soooooo cheap (yet somehow I still managed to drop a pretty penny in here, oh well).
I am from DC and had never heard of this chain before so I thought it was an independent boutique whose owner was on acid to sell items for this cheap. After a little research I now know it is a blossoming chain with a great website (which I am sure I will soon be ordering from) and a new location near me coming soon (might be wishful thinking).
When I went in all the jewelry was buy one piece, get the second 50% off. I got a bright pink watch (something I had been hunting everywhere for) and a cute faux pearl necklace for under $ 30. You really can’t beat that. I also purchased a great summer dress for only $ 38. A dress like that anywhere in DC would def be over $ 75. The clothing might not be the best quality but I would in no way compare it to Forever 21. The best description I can think of is a girly girl version of H&M or maybe Anthropologie having a huge going out of business sale.
The store does not just have adorable and affordable clothing, but every knick knack imaginable can be found artfully placed within this beautifully decorated heaven. We found lots of cute gift-​y items like a hilarious mug that said, «I will rise but I refuse to shine» and funny little books.
If it all sounds too good to be true, just check out the website and you’ll be forced to give yourself a few good slaps as well.
