Larson's Department Store — Local services in Sandpoint

Larsen's is one of those sites you might tend to ignore or walk past in today's age of Amazon, Walmart or Macy's etc. However this would a big ole mistake. Tucked away downtown, catercorner from the stores in the bridge, and still thriving since 1908!!!!

Example. I had appt in CDA, thought I'd go explore purchasing a man's robe there instead of Sandpoint Christmas). Thought I'd have more choice and a better selection.

Well, Macy's sold out?!!! Entire mall nothing, Target, nope. I was exhausted. Called Larsen's said I'm looking, and striking out... Any possibility you have any robes and if black or purple, amazing! (Thinking really long shot 🥴)

Low and behold, not only a selection at very good price, but purple too! Drove back, great service (staff person actually placed what we had talked about aside for me to look at), and ended up finding something perfect that was fab quality.

Same thing has happened to be more then once. You'd think I'd remember to go there first. New Years Resolution!

They have everything, men's, women's, and children. So, moral of the story: don't throw opportunity away simply because they've been there for ever (literally). They keep up with the times, have very good quality, and don't overcharge for their goods. Plus, service is always wonderful.

Oh, the person in question loved the robe,...

The only place in town to buy American-made Hav-a-Hank handkerchiefs, and at a price so low it'll blow your mind... Assuming you are, like myself, a handkerchief connoisseur. Three levels make up this store: men's, women's, children's clothing; shoes for the aforementioned genders (unsure about whether they carry children's shoes); tux rentals; wonderful hat selection; and topped off with an entire level of rugged work wear. This store is an historic building and a nostalgic throwback to Auld Lang Syne, if you're up on your Gaelic. It's a great mixture of every type of clothing you'll ever need for living here: casual, formal, work,...

Needed very warm gloves, but didn't have a lot of choice for day temps of 30 or below. I found "warmest" Manzella Marlow waterproof mittens.

I very much wished they had insulated women's small insulated work neoprene / rubber gloves for homestead / outdoor use. I have not found them at any store. I want the same as my husband's Kingco waterproof gloves.

Also, found no insulated women's overalls that fit me (small sizes) Plenty of men's sizes. I will have to order from Amazon, or check Duluth Trading Company in Spokane.

I did get two pairs of slippers, suede hard sole, and inexpensive soft no form slippers. I am...
