Customer Service depends on who is working This shop has beautiful, and yes, expensive clothes. There are European brands, beautiful shoes, sweet toys, pretty hair bows, lots of pretty things. The one thing that IS NOT pretty, their costumer service. The owner, an older lady with greyish hair and glasses is COMPLETELY RUDE. I have encountered her rudeness NUMEROUS times in the past 5 years. She's unpleasant and ungrateful. Her daughter, not exactlty friendly has been both rude and nice to me - depends on her mood, I suppose.... read more

Wonderful shopping experience even from New Orleans I discovered Whimsies while visiting the area and found the shop wonderful. After returning to New Orleans I would call, give an amount that I desired to spend and Jessie would put together the most adorable outfits together. She was able to find the outfits that suited my taste because she remembered the types of clothing I purchased on my one trip to the store. I found shopping at Whimsies a joy even from New Orleans.

INFANT SLING WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO RETURN I purchased a very expensive sling made by serena and lily from Whimises prior to the national warnings on slings. I purchased this sling before my baby was born and the warnings came out a few weeks after I delievered. I called Whimisies and asked them if I could return the sling, that it had never been used, and I was willing to take store credit. They refused to allow me to return the item even with the warnings! I have purcased many expensive items from this store, but I will not... read more

Mixed opinion As a grandmother, I have made numerous purchases here. Even though prices are high, so is quality and design of items carried in the inventory. Often I have managed to justify the prices for these reasons.

Leave your children at home!! I recently went into Whimsies and spent quite a bit of money because, honestly, there are some cute children's clothes. The customer service (or rather, lack thereof) is the reason that I will order other clothing from Saks or elsewhere--There was one older woman in the store who did not offer any type of greeting and it was absolutely obvious that she was annoyed that I brought in my child (who was well-behaved). She offered us little help. The shop could be nice, but with the high cost of the ... read more

No customer service I went into Whimsies today to buy a baby gift for a friend. I scoped out the store, made my selection of an expensive outfit and blanket, took my items to the checkout counter and waited for someone to help me. There were two other customers in the store, one with children who were screaming and out of control. The telephone rang at the counter and a frazzled sales associate appeared to answer the call. She was on the phone for 3 or 4 minutes. At the end of the call I asked if she could ring up my items a... read more

The store staff is friendly I have brought my 5 kids in to shop with me every time I've shopped Whimsies. The staff is friendly to the kids. I'd hate for people to not shop there because they think they can't bring their kids. Great quality clothes at reasonable prices.

Great Store! Fabulous clothes!!!! Whimsies is a wonderful place! My four kids ( and yes they are with me in the store) and I shop there for those special occasion clothes, combining cool and hip with mom approved elegance. The staff is friendly and wonderful, and the quality can't be beat. If you are looking for something wearable, elegant, fun, this is the store for you. A true Charlottesville treasure!

Children's Boutique where children are not especially welcome Whimsies is a terrific place to shop if you seek beautifully made children's clothes and accessories and if price is no object. Just be certain to leave any children at home. The store's ownership does not welcome even reasonably well behaved kids. And, there are many precious items children can easily harm without intent.
