Mouthwatering Accessories in Kansas City

Footprints

★★★★☆ 4.2 (18) • $$$

"One of the great retail stores in the city, worthy of making a destination from Kansas City, Topeka and beyond I'd say. And while a visit in person is a real must that's not to be missed, most are surprised to learn they ship products all over the U.S.In addition to Birkenstocks, which is what put them on the map, they also deal in Dansko, Haflinger and Chaco products. I brought a new family member from Canada in for his first pair of "Birks" and he was utterly thrilled with the experience. In spite of being told there'd be a break-in period, he barely was seen without them before heading back home. And yes, he wore them on the plane.As a long-time but infrequent customer because their products last, always happy to spread the word about the good work doing here."

"I'm honestly not a big thrifter and I usually can't find anything. My friend fun olathe took me here and i spent $100 on a TON of amazing items. Their staff is also super nice!"

Maurices

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (4)

"Both of the gals working helped me find new jeans and made me feel sooo comfortable on 2/12/2021. The had great knowledge of the styles and products and offered honest advice that I really appreciated. They made finding new styles in a different size easy peasy. Thank you for the help, lovely people! I'm so sorry I didn't get your names!!"

Alysa Rene Boutique

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"A little gem in park place. Alysa provides a true boutique experience with personalized service and attention. She carries great lines which you won't find everywhere else. She carries a great selection of free people and dolce vita shoes which are two great brands. She carries local jewelry designer Julie zancanelli which makes stunning one of a kind pieces! It's a great spot to find unique and affordable clothing and accessories"

Plato's Closet - Overland Park, KS

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (106) • $$

"I almost didn't come in here at all because of the astounding number of negative reviews. I haven't been to a Plato's closet specifically before, but I am very familiar with high end thrift shops. When I went in, I was promptly greeted. I was able to navigate the store easily. There were a few items that I wanted to try on, but a line was forming at the dressing rooms and after waiting a while it didn't seem like it would ever move. I looked up Plato's return policy on line and decided that it would be worth it to just drive back and return if needed as this location is very close to me. When I was checking out, the cashier helped me sign up for their rewards program and let me know that since it was Tuesday I was earning double points. I will definitely come back. I'm sorry to hear about all of the other experiences people have had here."

Plato's Closet - Liberty

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (16) • $$

"love love love this place. great workers and an amazing selection of clothes. highly recommend!"

Coach Factory Store

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (6) • $$$

"I thought the outlet was really nice. There is plenty of room to mosey around and they had spectacular deals and plenty of merchandise dispute the enormous amount of people that showed up. There were 4 cashiers and the poor girls were working so hard. I saw one of them say "I have to go to the restroom I'm really sorry" to a customer. They were definitely short staffed. I think they should try to get some other hand held registers to help with the massive amount of people. It took 2 hours just to get in and another hour in line. The AC was pumping in there. I was coldddd. Better than being hot and sweaty while you're waiting though. The employees were perhaps the most notably great thing about this store. They were awesome!!! They were running around like crazy people trying to keep the store tidy and checking in the back for items and were enthusiastic about it. Good for them! A++ for the staff."

The Plaid Elephant

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Wonderful women's boutique! They have everything from dresses and darling blouses to jeans and tees. Plenty of cute accessories and gift items too. The staff is delightful, and it's fun to shop there!"

Style Encore

★★★★☆ 3.9 (12)

"If you like high quality 2nd hand clothes shopping this place will knock your socks off. It's HUGE. It's very well organized (by item and then by size). You'll find mostly name brand items (some new with tags) in all categories except swimwear and intimates. Browsed a little and seems to be geared towards classier things I would wear to work and then fancy casual stuff you'd wear on a cruise or to brunch to meet your potential in laws. For example sheath dresses for $15. (It isn't a thrift shop atmosphere, this isn't a flip flops and neon t-shirts place.)Happy to report they have a good selection of plus sizes too (up to 6x). That's pretty rare. I brought in a few items to sell and liked the easy process. They ask for your phone number and then text you the form to fill out to become a seller. Then you can see where you are in the process (waiting, sorting, offer ready). You can drop stuff off and not have to wait around for the offer because they text you when it is ready.Right now they are only buying as they stock the store. They plan to be open for shoppers by the end of June."

Three Birdies Boutique

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Love this place! Staff is very friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable for a boutique. LOTS of Judy Blue jeans!! And they offer hemming for a small fee, which is great for this shorty who can never find the right length jeans. My kids are ages 11-18 and surprisingly everyone found clothes they loved there!"

Made In KC - Prairie Village

★★★★★ 4.5 (13) • $$

"There's some well-chosen, fun if not overly familiar KC stuff at Made In KC. If you're wanting a city-centric gift, you're almost guaranteed to find something ranging between $5-$50. I like what this is all about but I'd be lying if I didn't say I have a little bit of KC pride fatigue, and that's coming from someone who is all in on this city and loves it. It's just that there are a million and one iterations of the same designs, t-shirts, stickers, posters, etc. Fountains, BBQ, Scout Statue, Royals/Chiefs themed, skyline, rinse and repeat. However at the end of the day, it's nice to have people repping KC with pride and supporting local makers who design and manufacture these things here in our backyard. I'd recommend popping in a Made In KC to see if it's for you, and outside of maybe Westside Storey or Charlie Hustle, you won't find more KC stuff than you would here."

Blue Heron Design

★★★★★ 5 (14) • $$

"So, I'm a little bit artsy fartsy and bohemian in my tastes, but trying to shop that way in a suburban locale sometimes dead-ends one at Pier 1/World Market, or at community craft fairs that are heavy on the Longaberger baskets, plastic canvas and yarn creations, and dreamcatchers. Which is fine, unless you want something that's really fairly unusual. This is where Blue Heron Designs comes in. Big fan of this shop...unusual jewelry, accessories, and gifts, an artsy vibe...walks the fine line of being charmingly crunchy-granola-yay-fair-trade-folk-art-and-cutesy-recycled-materials-crafts without embracing a full-on, unwashed-proprietors-and-grimy-patchouli-reeking-headshop-in-a-college-town vibe. Very unique merchandise from all over the world, classy but not obnoxiously overpriced, and the service is very nice and helpful. Got my mom a sterling silver pendant with a real iridescent butterfly wing encased in glass (made by indigenous Peruvian butterfly farmers, natch), and presented it to her for Christmas. The woman wept, and I know she doesn't have anything like this already kicking around her jewelry box. They also, in warmer months, always keep a bowl of clean water out front for pooches, which I love...both as a frequent dogwalker in the vicinity, and also because such touches are just good stewardship in a community that prides itself on having a walkable downtown. Props to Blue Heron...charming shop!"

Simply Shine Boutique

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"Always my go to boutique when visiting Kansas City. The staff has always been so friendly and helpful. They have the cutest clothes and are very reasonably priced."

Amaze Boutique

★★★★☆ 4.3 (12) • $$

"I couldn't resist the sidewalk clearance rack when walking to my car after lunch yesterday. My friend and I stopped in and quickly realized that everything here is adorable! We were greeted by Sylvia who helped us throughout our shopping experience. She really got to know us, our sizes and what we like to wear. She was extremely attentive, bringing me different sizes and outfit ideas. She was helpful but not pushy. I purchased the perfect summer dress and will definitely be back!! Stop in for cute clothing - stick around for amazing customer service and great conversation!"

Shopgirls

★★★★★ 4.6 (22) • $$

"They have a great selection here, especially since they use the hodgepodge approach of combining local designers with more well known brands. I always like to look for things that are local, because I feel like they are more unique and not as cookie-cutter as national brands may be. But, with uniqueness, also comes a somewhat high price tag. They do have some affordable items, but many of their sweaters are around $100 and their dresses are usually around $60. The jewelry also ranges from about $20-$60, depending on the piece. However, the clothing and jewelry are high-quality, so you will be getting a lot of use out of them. They also have purses, but many of them were hanging on the wall and I couldn't see the prices since I'm so short. :( Overall, the vibe is very hippie/bohemian, with some tye-dyed items, bright colors and patterns, and stripes."

Beyond Exchange Blue Springs

★★★☆☆ 3 (2) • $$

"Beyond Exchange is my complete go-to store. I can go in to buy an outfit and shoes and leave with fantastic house decor too! You can always count on supreme customer service, in a very soft way. I always appreciate how willing they are to help, with every request!"

EB and Co

★★★★☆ 4.4 (9)

"Great selection. Cool Chiefs accessories. I went there for an 87 ring like Taylor's. I ended up with a ring, like Taylor's. Then I bought a Chief's hair bow, like Taylor's. Holy moly I could've bought a whole lot more! I'm in love with this shop. Eeeeee everything."

Plato's Closet Kansas City

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (26) • $$

"I've been to most of the Plato's Closets in the metro area and this one by far had the most selection and was the neatest. Plato's closet is known for having slightly upscale, trendier (more expensive) second hand clothes for juniors. I usually go looking for something specific that I want but don't want to pay an arm and a leg for. On the day i ventured into this plato's closet, I was looking for running shoes and a jacket. I didn't find a good jacket but I did find some barely used North Face running shoes for $25. I was there before attending a concert so I didn't have loads of time and I wish I could've spent more time there. The selection was definitely superior to what I'm used to with this chain. It's probably the southern Johnson County location. It's a bit of a drive from where I live but I'm sure I'll be back many more times!"

Revive

★★★★☆ 3.5 (17) • $$

"Listen-I was born and raised in Austin, Texas so I know consignment shops to a "T". After moving to Kansas City I quickly scoured the town for the best in the area-and headed off to several in both Westport and Overland Park that Yelp claimed were some of the best in town. This shop, however, is BY FAR heads and shoulders above the rest. When you walk into this store everything about it screams upscale, chic, modern-yet-vintage boutique. The decor is perfection (and something I always promise I will try to craft for my own home) and the window displays are perfectly styled to give you an idea of the season's trends and the store's offerings. The owners/staff are also the most welcoming, friendly bunch I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. (I can tell you I've walked into Ditto and Clothz Minded several times and never once been told "Hi" or treated like a valued customer. ) And if the initial greeting doesn't sell you-try plucking something off the rack and wait to see how long it takes one of the owners or staff to offer to place your items in a fitting room for you a-la-Free People and other high end boutiques. THAT'S customer service, my friends.As far as some of these negative reviews go-I'd like to remind everyone that one of the most important parts of owning a store like this is knowing your buyer. They can't buy everything you want to sell them-they'd hemorrhage money like crazy if they purchased everything people bring in. If the put forth the money for purchase-they need to know the item is going to have a buyer. I know it's hard to walk into a store, hopeful that you will receive a ton of money for items you no longer want. But unfortunately if you no longer want them you have to realize there's a good chance that others won't either. And it's Revive's job to make that tough decision so when I - as their buyer - go there looking for new fashion finds I'm not slapped in the face with ten year old GAP pieces that were on trend in 2009 or a plethora of forever 21, american eagle and other teeny bopper brands that have no place being in the wardrobe of anyone over 15 (I'm looking at you Ditto. *glare*)And this is why I can't say enough great things about this store. ALL of the clothing I've purchased has been on trend, in perfect condition (sometimes NWT) and sold at MUCH better prices than online retailers or other local consignment stores. I've walked out with Free People and Marc Jacobs for under $10. I've purchased a $1000 limited edition AUTHENTIC Coach bag from them for $350 after discounts. And EVERY time I visit I purchase at least one jewelry item that the owner has specifically purchased a gold and silver version of to sell in the store (if the silver version is out-I've probably gotten there before you. :D) And that says a LOT about this store and the owner's understanding of the fashion industry. As a buyer I feel like this store was MADE for me. Do I like everything they have on the racks? No. Do I walk in every time thinking "Ugh, this is my favorite store and I'm about to do some damage?" Yes.Do yourself a favor and give this shop a try. Don't let the negative reviews fool you-this place is a gem that'd I'd completely miss if I ever left KC. * And in response to the lone review about the replica bag-do homework before ever purchasing something from a brand like Louis Vuitton or Coach that is known to be easily counterfeited. If you are ever unsure and authenticity is of great concern to you-I'd recommend checking out readily available online guides to assist you in your purchase. Revive's owners are human-good fakes happen to the best of us."

Design In the City

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6) • $$

"Went to lunch at Trezo today and did some walking afterward. Had to stop at Design in the city after finding them on Instagram. The shop dog really pulled me in. Lol Love puppies!! We were greeted when we walked in by the most lovely lady. She helped me with a shirt and even sparked up a nice conversation during my checkout. I got the cutest glasses for my basement bar and a fun tailgate shirt to wear in Vegas for the Chiefs game we are going to in January. We are season ticket holders so I will be back in for some more football accessories.Design in the city is your one-stop shop for everything from clothing, shoes, gifts, and home Deco."

Garry Gribble's Running Sports - Kansas City

★★★★☆ 4.1 (49) • $$

"I needed new shoes. Just so happens that packet pick up for the 2019 Gobbler Grind half marathon was held at this Gary Gribble running store in Overland Park, KS as well. I like it.I was told that Gary Gribble Running Store is one of the better specialty running stores in the greater Kansas City area. And so, it was nice to do a 2 for one stop shop here and picked up a pair of new running shoes to kick off the new year of racing and running. Gary Gribble Running store seemed to be like any other running store from the outset, but the knowledge of the staff here of running and shoe mechanics can help you get into your best shoes and give you that confidence to start yourself on a healthy path to fitness or racing. Most of their inventory are running shoes, but they sell other running related items, such as clothing, running accessories, and items that are need during a running event- like GU and body glide, among other items. Gary Gribble Running Sports can be your next stop for running shoes, if you're in the Overland Park, Kansas area. For myself though, I actually stumbled upon a sale and got those aforementioned shoes at a 20% discount, which was amazing!! I had a 10% discount coupon for the yelp check in but couldn't combine it with my existing purchase. Oh well. Next time, I guess. The store itself was arranged neatly and you could find what you're looking for.I did enjoy the knowledgeable staff about shoes that I forgot about. They explained to me about running situations and issues that I've known for a while, but it's nice to get a refresher once in a while. They're the bestest! The overall experience here at Gary Gribble Running Sports was good, positive, and nice. It's always great to be in a running shoe store, probably because I run marathons and stuff like that. It's always nice to transition into new shoes for the next 500 miles of running. With that said, this Gary Gribble Running Sports store is located in the Ward Parkway shopping center in the heart of Overland Park, KS. It's address is 8600 Ward Parkway. They accept major credit cards, as well as cash for any purchase. Since they are inside the shopping mall, there is genuinely plenty of parking for you all to park. Not sure if Kansas City's public transportation comes through this area or not, but best bet would be to have your own rental car or have uber / lyft app on your phone for quick and easy access for on demand rides. For the most part though, I was satisfied with my purchase and got a 20% discount too. It was around the price range I was looking for - after the discount.If you are looking to start a fitness program for your health, starting that couch to 5km program, or even half marathon or marathon training, consider coming to the Gary Gribble running sports here in Overland Park to discuss your running goals and they can get you into that comfortable training shoes to get you started on the path to a healthy and inspirational success. The service was friendly and nice. I could see myself coming back here for more shoes, if my travels permit me to do so. For the most part though, the experience here was memorable and I was happy with my purchase, especially with my friends whom were also trying to get new shoes as well that day. I would recommend coming here for your next pair of running shoes. If you don't know what you need, ask the knowledgeable staff of your goals and they can fit you into that pair of shoes that is designed to take you where you want to go. I enjoyed my time here on a Saturday afternoon here and hope you will too. It's like being a kid in the candy store for me. Truly is.4.0 stars for the overall experience. 5.0 stars for the 20% discount. 4.0 stars for the service and the experience.Support local!B"

"This is a Leawood co-op boutique which houses several stores inside. The stores are all local. They do not necessarily sell all local wares, but the clothing, jewelry and accessories, shoes, knick knacks, beauty products, candles and even plants are definitely unique. I shopped here at the beginning of the summer for a Blue Valley School event and I get tons of compliments on everything which I purchased. The prices were reasonable. I was there for a special evening event, but they are open late on Thursdays and until 6 on other week nights and Saturday. Sunday hours are noon to 5. They have items for all age groups - from teenagers to middle-age.I would definitely recommend checking it out if you want tio find unique clothing that is more main stream (i.e., no hippie/goth stuff here) for a reasonable price."

Tyler Kingston Mercantile

★★★☆☆ 3 (5)

"This is a cool, local shop with some great options for gifts in Corinth Square. I like how well thought out all the various curations are, including cool apparel, vintage puzzles, and stuff for plant lovers (i.e., my wife). First off, kind of a perfect location for those in the neighborhood as you can knock out a lot in Corinth Square and grab some gifts along the way. If you're a National Park lover, look for their candles, postcards and puzzles. They also have cool coffee mugs and some of the best looking blankets I've seen around town. Hard to nail down specifics in this review because there are so many unique things, but those were some standouts that caught my eye. Shop local and check this spot out! Oh and I should add their website has a LOT of the goodies you can find if you need some inspiration: https://www.tylerkingston.com/"

"Cool boutique with a lot of options that change with the seasons. Everything from hats, earrings, shirts, leggings, decor, and more. The owner is super nice as well!There is even a back room filled with collegiate and high school teams!"

Fabulous Frocks of Kansas City

★★★★★ 4.6 (13)

"I had a fantastic experience buying my wedding dress at Fabulous Frocks! From beginning to end, Angela was friendly, helpful and accommodating. The small space is cozy and personal and it was perfect for a fitting with my close family and friends joining in. We even celebrated with a champagne toast once I found my dress!Angela communicated with me frequently but never in a sales-pitch type of way throughout the whole process of booking an appointment, trying dresses on (more than once) and purchasing my dress and accessories. Although most of the dresses available at Fabulous Frocks when I went in were off the rack, there were some available to order, and my accessories were all custom ordered and shipped in quickly. Alterations are not done in house, but the tailor Angela recommended is fabulous and close by. Angela was also very helpful with recommendations for other wedding needs such as photography, music, etc. as I was in the beginning stages of planning. Fabulous Frocks of Kansas City is definitely a little gem!"

Junque Drawer

★★★★★ 4.6 (9) • $$

"Looking for that special something? Do you want to get a unique gift, locally made comestible, or handmade goods? Or just something hard-to-find to make a person's special occasion or holiday? Well, that's what you're bound to find here at Junque Drawer.Junque Drawer can be found in a early 20th century home just south of downtown Olathe. And when I say it is crammed full of stuff to browse. I mean *crammed* full. Even the kitchen sink, located on the second floor, is stuffed with options. The second floor has nooks and crannies in which to get lost, but don't forget the third floor! Distinctive holiday finds, everyday gifts...it's almost like a Spencer's Gifts collided with a World Market and spread joy all over.My most recent trip left me in possession of locally made jelly (peach cinnamon!), two new ornaments for the holiday display, maybe the best yard sign ever, stocking stuffers, and decals for my daughter's burgeoning collection. I could have added handmade clothing, tremendous wall decor, and more, but that just means that I have to make another visit!"

Painted Tree Boutiques - Barrywoods, MO

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I went to Painted Tree because I had heard Anita's Famous Rolls was selling their baked goods here after shuttering their brick and mortar location last month. Not only did I find her product, I was a bit overwhelmed with the size of the space and the amount of makers, artists and crafters selling their wares and some vendors with unique mass produced items. With over 300 booths selling everything from small batch food items, crazy socks, chainsaw art and of course lots of KC Chiefs and Taylor Swift inspired art and clothing. This is truly a gift givers paradise. I will return here first when I need a unique gift for anyone."

Plato's Closet

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (38) • $$

"Not every Plato's Closet to I walk out of with things I purchased and not every location to I turn right back around and return to the store to ask the staff for opinions - I did both here!The selection for men was perhaps one of the largest I've ever seen at any location. The quality of the men's clothes that I looked at was incredible as was the way they put out some special areas for special brand names. I found some incredible jeans, Vans, and even a few shirts - my friend did even better than I did!To top it all off - the staff was amazing!"
