Sophisticated, unique and fun clothing... great jewelry, accessory and shoe collections... perfect price point. Whats not to love? Magpie offers a wide selection of unique, well-made items for the modern woman. The staff have a terrific eye and helped me pick out some of my favorite items. As a 30-something stylish woman who follows fashion but hates going to those stores that only a 20-year old love, this store speaks "me". This store makes my former favorite store, Anthropologie, look over-priced, poorly made, and too trendy. Magpie is now where I go first! Examples of recent favorite purchases from Magpie: 1) My favorite dress purchase in a long time - a Hoss black shirt dress with pockets in the front and a bustle in the back from Spain. That dress was on the pricier side but was worth it because Ill wear it forever. Ive gotten many compliments on it, including from my husbands male friends. 2) An awesome $25 beaded belt this spring that people swear I must have gotten from somewhere exotic. The staff helped me come up with chic ideas for wearing it with existing items in my wardrobe. 3) A wool blend, oatmeal-colored, cable shawl cardigan last winter that was practically the only sweater I wore because it looked so good and I couldnt bear to wear a different sweater. I never saw it on anyone else and it still looks like new. Im sure Ill be wearing it a lot again this year!

I cant give this boutique enough ★s! The owner, who is also the buyer, has an incredible eye for truly unique pieces. Ive worn Magpie for everything from evening performances (Im a classical musician) to afternoons at the farmers market. Visiting the store itself is its own experience - the space is beautiful and the staff is knowledgeable, accessible, and just plain fun to have around as great on-hand consultants. Unlike what Ive experienced in some boutiques, theres never any pressure to buy, which is part of what makes it so fun to drop in and explore the fashions being featured. (Though such casual visits can be dangerous - Ive never wandered into Magpie and not discovered something I want to walk out of the store wearing...)

I had a big event for which I wanted to buy a special dress, but was dreading the process of trying to find something. I love to wear nice clothes but fashion is not necessarily my strong suit and I’m awful about accessorizing. I had a brief period of time on my way home from work so thought I’d swing into Magpie. In less than 30 minutes, Po-Ming helped me find the perfect dress paired with a belt and earrings that in this case, absolutely make the outfit. While I was there, I also discovered a bright colored tunic (it, like the other dress, was reasonably priced) that I purchased and wore recently, and received a flurry of complements on it. This is the sort of experience one doesn’t get at the mall. Thanks, Magpie!

The only reason I gave this place two stars is because I was happy to see a new store offering trendy clothing to Durhams downtown residents. The problem is this store is a little out of its element and plain shirts for $143 is too high of a price point for the majority of folks who will be frequenting this store. I was looking for an event dress and was unimpressed by the selection and the sizes they offer. On top of that, the owner is quite pretentious. She and her shop girl like to whisper and giggle when its obvious they are talking about people in the store! I was unimpressed to say the least. My friends and I will not be going back.

I love the style at this boutique and the service is outstanding. The staff helped my mother in law get a complete set of amazing jewelry and I got a flattering Line and Dot top Im sure to wear often. I also found a great Tokyo Milk perfume - Ive been looking for one for ages. They also have great Durham tees. Stop by and enjoy a chic selection.

Wonderful, locally owned shop that provides all the best things you think of when you hear “boutique” – great selection of designers, friendly owner and staff who can lend their expertise in selecting items, and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Great price points, too. Magpie has become one of the first places I go when I need something new!

Amazing local boutique right off main street in Durham. My wife and I stopped here and the owner went above and beyond to help her out. She did not sell her products too hard but gave great fashion advice and matching ideas. The prices here are affordable and the clothing is high quality.

I came into the store opening weekend and loved it right away. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful and there is much more variety than you get with most small boutiques. The prices are high, but very reasonable for the designer clothes being sold. I will definitely be back!

I found the perfect dress for a wedding Ill be attending. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Id definitely return. Also worth noting- it is easy to find something at the right price point.

Po-Ming and Joycelyn are the queens of cool and the store itself makes my inner-gay-man giddy. Po-Ming has great fashion sense and is always very friendly.

Beautiful clothes and very nice staff but even on sale, the clothes are extremely expensive.
