Boho Chic Boutique — Local services in Town of Milton

It took me a bit to write this review, but I happen to see someone else had a similar experience. This used to be the store I would go to on a whim because I loved the products and the atmosphere. I spent a lot of my time and money here around the holidays getting gifts. I was on a great friendly basis with the owner she even emailed me when a product came in which was really considerate. I loved this place so much I told my mother about it. She then went to the store to look around while waiting for her food at a restaurant down the street. The owner who was always lovely to me was extremely cold to my mother because she was looking around. My mother tried to make small talk saying "oh my daughter loves this store so I had to come check it out". This was again her first time in the store so of course she was going to look around. When she was going to leave and it looked like she was not purchasing anything the owner proceeded to tell her "I am not a stop for people waiting for food orders. I am open only to people that want to buy". My mother was at a loss of words. Not every shop you walk into you will find something to buy. She wanted to check out the shop I used to rave some much about when she had a few extra minutes to spare. A shop should not have a hostile environment if the consumer is looking around. The first time maybe a guest will not buy anything, but if you are welcoming they will probably come back. I thought maybe the owner had a bad day but then I saw someone else had the same experience as my mother. At the time there was a limited people allowed in the store. But this was a weekday and raining with no one waiting. It is not like my mother scared away potential customers.

If it was appointment only as you say why did you let her in? The situation could have been handled professionally by informing her at the door and pointing out the sign and that she could come back...

This is honestly a beautiful boutique, and I really admire the focus on local or state made items. However it is quite expensive and out of my own price range at the moment. I currently can’t afford to shop at this boutique, but I will say, the owner was very attentive to me when I visited and never made me feel like I was shopping outside my price range. And that really means a lot to me. She treated me like I was any other guest, who would be in the income bracket to properly shop the store. I didn’t feel like I was poor and couldn’t afford the items, and that was very nice. If I’m able to afford the items at this boutique I would GLADY shop here, just based on the way I was treated when I was just looking and getting ideas for gifts. I never felt like I “didn’t belong.” I felt as if I did belong, and I feel bad for not being able to afford something, as this is truly a business that I would love to support. The fact that I wasn’t made to feel like poor trash meant so much to me. I’m normally very hesitant to shop locally owned, non vinyl music related stores due to being seen as “not being able to afford” what the boutique has to offer. And while I knew I couldn't afford this boutique’s offerings, I was never made To feel like I didn’t belong or that I would be better off shopping at Walmart. And that truly goes a long way. If I’m ever able to spend more freely, this will be one of the very first places I stop at. For the products, and the dignity and respect that I was treated with. If you can afford it,...

This is the best store I’ve ever shopped in.

The store is immaculate, decorated beautifully and is in a great location with parking. Carrie is so passionate, kind, and smart. She curates a variety of hand-picked items, most produced locally. I can pronounce every ingredient of my skin care line and love the cocktail mixers and chocolate. They stick with a waste-free, compostable, anti- plastic motto. The clothes are also amazing- it’s like shopping with your best friend. Additionally, there is a star program for frequent shoppers like me, and there are regular events for Carrie’s birthday, shop opening anniversary, local dates, and more. At these events, Carrie serves homemade treats and cocktails! She’s an amazing cook and I love her homemade lemon raspberry muffins.

Such a local gem… check it out. You...
