Francie's Boutique — Local services in Topsfield

Wish I could do 4.5 stars! The four is for the price point of some items.

I visited the shop last week for the first time. It is in Topsfield near the fairgrounds, and is definitely more of a “boutique” consignment/second hand experience vs. thrift.

As I said my only deduction was RE the pricing. Some lower end labels were, in my opinion, priced quite high. Like many consignments the price does drop after a period of time, but you have to roll the dice it will still be there if you wait. That said, I found their high end items very well priced for the most part.

The highlight was absolutely the curated nature of the store. I’ve been in so many thrift/consignment stores lately that have high prices but do not make an effort to really focus on the customer experience.

At Francie’s (the owner I assume) has an eye for putting together a display, and naturally grouping items that go together really well. The store is well stocked but NOT overpacked with items like so many places that make it impossible to look through or browse. I especially loved that they had a fun vintage section on its own, beautiful purses, etc.

As a woman with BIG feet (size 10) I SO appreciate that Francie’s had options for me to try! 9/10 vintage/consignment I visit rarely have anything above an 8. This shop had beautiful Frye boots etc- not for me that day but perfect for someone. I also noticed that they had a very good selection of plus size clothing, especially coats- which is often very difficult to find second hand.

I also had a brief chat with the owner (I think) and she was lovely. There was another woman browsing and she was very quick to offer to take an item off a mannequin etc. I believe there is a gift or children’s section on the other side but I didn’t get a chance to go over that day.

Overall I will certainly be back- lots of gems. Would love to see slightly lower pricing on the more mass market brands but it was a very...

Where of bo do I go when I have free time? Francie’sBoutique 🏃🏽‍♀️

Do I need anything? No. Do I I want anything? You bet I do!🌺

I leave there.with lots of jewelry etc. put in adorable little bags and sometime little boxes 🌷 Are they super expensive? Nope.

But when I put them in my antique jewelry boxes and soon give them away to old friends and new friends, their faces light up just as mine.❣️

Please stop by and see all that they have aside from jewelry. It’s an experience like you had as a little girl when you tried on your mother’s and grandmother’s hats and gloves, scarves and those earrings that hurt like crazy after 20 minutes...

Francies in Topsfield has been my go to shop for my wardrobe for years! Whether it’s casual-wear or work-wear, accessories or shoes… I always find what I’m looking for here. The owner, Leslie is SO good at what she does. She’s got such a keen eye for up to date fashion and style and she’s also a good listener. She’s particular about what she accepts on consignment - which means that there isn’t a lot of flipping through dated clothing to find the occasional perfect item. Fortunately or unfortunately, I go in looking for 2 or 3 items but go out with double or triple that amount every time! I love this place and...
