Crazy Horse of Santa Fe — Local services in Santa Fe

The place has some really cool pottery with great stories behind it, and beautiful jewelry. We were told as we walked in there were having a winter sale (first the guy said Summer but then corrected himself,) and that all pottery and jewelry was half off. I suspect they run this "sale" all the time, which I'll explain in a minute. My wife and I were in town for our anniversary, and we're looking at wedding vases. The man behind the counter explained them to us, and said they even give us a deal because it was our anniversary. We picked one of the cheaper, but still nice ones. It was $110 originally but because of the "sale" it was $55, which they marked down to $50 due to our anniversary. They seemed very friendly and we were happy to support them. We went on our way and continued visiting shops around the area, when lo and behold we find the same size vase made by the same artist (I say this because while similar, all the vases from this artist look slightly different from one another) for $35 at another souvenir shop 2 doors down. My wife and I quickly realized we got duped, granted for only $15. We love the vase but the shiesty business practice to prey on tourists left a bit of a bad taste in our mouths. It's sad because the people running the shop really did seem quite nice, and they had some really beautiful pieces available. If you have the money, great! However my wife and I aren't rich and made due with what we could this vacation. It was a nice thing for us to commemorate our anniversary, and while not soured by the experience (we laugh about it now) it still wasn't funny...

Beware! I went to this shop in Santa Fe. I purchased two vases outside that were marked as discounted. The first one I chose the owner said he would take it and bubble wrap it up for me, it was originally $95 and marked as $45, I made sure to inspect it for chips and inconsistencies with craftsmanship and it looked great so I said sure. The second one I brought inside with me after a few mins to purchase. When I got home I realized the first one I chose was switched with one that wasn’t as nice and was made with a different material. Originally the two pieces matched, one was just a bit larger. I’m really frustrated by the lack of integrity as this was supposed to be a gift but now I can’t give it as a gift because of the chips, misaligned paint and cheap material. You can see the difference in the two items in the pics. The one that was switched by the owner when I wasn’t looking is the black one, it should have matched the smaller one. The one I selected didn’t have black on the top, was made from a heavier clay like the small one and definitely...

My wife & I wandered into this store while exploring Santa Fe. The owners Sam & Ola are very nice people, extremely informative on all of the pieces in their store, & were very patient while we looked at a lot of pieces & asked a lot of questions. I ended up purchasing this beautiful ring, & my wife purchased this vase. We went into this store on our final day in Santa Fe, so from all our experience shopping the days prior, the prices in this store are very reasonable. I highly recommend that everyone check this place out - you may find something very special, like my wife & I both unexpectedly did!! Thank you Sam & Ola! We will see you on our...
