Dijon Boutique

I really like this store. Its right in from of my job and they always have a lot of cheap and cute clothes.

I love the clothes in this store. They are great for spring and summer. The clothes are also very affordable and stylish. This store was recommended to me by a friend and I will recommend it to other friends. I always receive compliments. The only thing I do not like is that the fitting rooms are not individual. It is one big room with only 3 mirrors. I prefer not to change around other people I do not know.

Look, the selection isn’t huge and sometimes they’re not gonna hev your size shoe. But this is hands down my favorite go-​to spot when I need a quick, affordable outfit for after work/​the weekend, or when you need emergency work-​clothes because you ripped a hole in something: P Staff has always been super friendly to me no matter what time I go in.

Their inventory quality has done down dramatically since they downsized the store square footage. They need to have better quality. Clothes almost look like it could be sold at a Family Dollar store. Sorry. Just not as good as it use to be. Shoes are usually man made materials. Hardly ever real leather.

This place has been open for years, ever since I’ve worked in downtown Manhattan, Dijon has existed (that’s about 7 years now — wowsers)! And I never quite had the gall to review this place for fear of others knowing I sometimes drop in and buy what’s on trend, if I like what I see.
Now, after the major re-​up, post-​Sandy disaster, Dijon has moved one store down, and literally downsized to about half the space it used to have. The trade-​off with this however, is a better organized, more streamlined store, and the shopping experience is boosted as a result. The window display is actually very inviting now, and looks like they hired a visual merchandising decorator or something. Before, you’d feel like you were shopping at the 99 cent store of clothing stores, but now, it actually feels like a boutique.
Sort of.
I did come in last night and buy three tops, and altogether it was less than $ 35. I mean, where does that happen anymore? Maybe Forever21, but then this is how you feel shopping in that store (
). Don’t get me wrong, I love me my Forever21, but Dijon is a little more forgiving in terms of the sizes they have, being more womanly for those of us whose hips don’t lie (thank you for that song, Shakira).
They have name brands here, and as other reviewers have mentioned, the tags are usually ripped off or crossed out with what appears to be black ink from a Sharpie. That’s cool Dijon, I ain’t mad at ya. If you can get me LOFT, Banana Republic, GAP, etc for ¹⁄₅^th the price, go ahead and tear up all the tags inside the clothes, I’m fine with that. Even if some items are out of season, or fit a little oddly, as they sometimes do, the store makes up for it, by trying its best to stay on trend and keep things fresh. Whenever I feel like getting new duds for a trip or vacation, I’m not against shopping here to get something that might not last forever, but is the flavor of the season and will look cute on me for all intents and purposes.
They have a shoe section, which is akin to shopping at Target with how everything is laid out and displayed, but here again, they do carry name brands at attractive prices, so it’s kind of pretty sweet, though the actual selection can sometimes be hit or miss.
A lot of FiDi women shop here, and really no one is against saving some money, and that’s why Dijon has lasted all these years. I’ve seen it.

I’ve gone to this store several times lately and I can never find anything I want in my size. They have a plus size section, but their regular section doesn’t seem to have any pants or skirts less than a size 6 so I can never find anything in my small size. The quality of their clothes looks cheap and worn out. However, if you want to buy a suit jacket, this is the place to go because you can get a nice suit jacket for a cheap price! But besides that, this store has nothing else that is appealing to me.

This is a double review for Dijon Boutique on Maiden Lane and De Janeiro on Nassau St., since they are pretty obviously the same place.
In short: Cheap clothes, shoes, and accessories. It’s a good place to get basics that you don’t expect to wear for more than a few months (e.g. strange brands, all made in China). In that respect, Dijon/​DJ aren’t so interesting — there are similar shops all over the Financial District, not to mention all over this city.
HOWEVER, if you have the time to hunt? De Janeiro/​Dijon is a closeout clothing haven! Banana Republic, Nine West, Gap, etc… Regular clothes in well-​known brands are marked down 50−90%.
Stuff may be from the previous season, or they may be from YEARS ago — as in the case of a Banana Republic blazer I snagged for $ 25, original price $ 240. From the 2010 season, but who the hell cares?
If you’re like me, you’ll jump for glee when you see the label inside the collar markered over or cut out. Yay steep discounts!
Head back frequently to check what’s new in stock. Be prepared to swim through oceans of badly made clothes that are a waste of fabric.

Great place with name brand items for a fraction of the cost. I saw a Nine West trench coat that I really liked that was $ 60, down from $ 100. However, be cautious if you’re a fashionista because many items are out of season (hence the cheap sale).
Bought a cute little black dress recently for only $ 8! Love this place…

If you want a shopping experience that will make you want to go home, curl up on the floor and cry about the futility of modern urban life, go to Dijon around 6:30 PM.
This place never ceases to disappoint me: time and again I’m lured by a cute-​looking outfit in the window with a cheap price tag. When I get inside, though, I realize that everything in the store is made of cheap rayon or has some kind of fatal flaw, like bizarre extra-​large shoulders. Nothing is in the right size, the overhead fluorescent lights make everything and everyone look supremely unattractive, and I have never encountered surlier or more unhelpful staff anywhere.
I’m a diehard thrift shopper, so I’m used to having to wade through lots of weird castoffs to find the rare steal. However, there’s nothing in this store worth the existential angst it costs to pick something out and try it on. It’s too late for me, but please, save yourself — skip Dijon.

Great place to get a name brand outfits at a low price. Since there are a few Dijon’s scattered throughout the financial district, what you can’t find at one store, the other store might have it.
The only problem is that you can encounter other women with the same shirt or dress you have on. Happened to me!

Clothes at cheap prices and in decent fabrics – lots of cottons going on.
