I ran in here with an hour to spare between meetings, and hurriedly tried on about ten pairs of jeans in as many minutes. The service remained stellar throughout, even while I was moving at warp speed. I left with a pair of blue skinnies (straight-legs, really), and was very impressed with this little store.
Injeanius carries a lot of brands I haven't seen in Saks/Nieman's, and has tons of longer lengths (I need 34" jeans). They carry high-end denim, for prices that are reasonable when compared with prices for the same items elsewhere. And hey, they're locally owned. Nice!
My only criticism is that they seemed to swing toward low-waisted jeans, which are sort of going out of style ... but I was there early in the spring, and I assume that their stock has been updated since.

I am a single black female addicted to retail.
Well, not entirely, but I do thuroughly enjoy this sister(cousin?) store to Twilight in the North End!
While Twilight's focus is more geared towards a night-on-the-town, injeanius is for(you guessed it) jeans and other casualwear.
A boutique that packs a lot of punch into a small space. Last week I left work early because I was sick and stopped in here before reaching home. Nothing like a little retail therapy to help me cure my flu blues after finding out Airborne is just a placebo :(
Shelves and tables stacked high with the latest and greatest jeans.
Time to put down the funnel cake and pretzels with cheese or just sneak out to this shop in the morning after fasting for two weeks or so. I told the manager Sarah about my jean woes of badonkadonk tushies and the gap in the back of most pants. She recommended a new style of Joe's jeans called "Honey" for ladiess like me. Unfortunately, the jeans are on the pricier side, avg about $200 so you may want to take the time to grab a big stack of different styles/brands to make sure you have the perfect fit, and pray that you will be an AARP member by the time they disintegrate.
Lots of nice HOBO bags, a meaty sale rack, and a variety of spring coats that caught my eye. The counterspace boasted an array of rangs and thangs, but the selection was a bit to sparkly/glittery/rhinestoney/bedazzley for me.
If you have that e-mail address that you direct Viagra and penis pump emails too, might I suggest signing up for their mailing list. I periodically get coupons for their store as well as Twilight and sometimes they are a great bargain or an informative heads up about new shipments.
Also, since the shop is in the North End, you have the pleasure of seeing some of the crazy locals like I did this fine day. A drugged/drunk girlfriend being scolded by her drugged/drunk boyfriend about her potential expensive purchase and informed her she was only "allowed" to buy pants under $60.
He then dragged her swaggerly drugpuss out of the store and I suggested that Sarah buy pepper spray. Baby lulz.

Yup, a great store, and it's situated between the waterfront and arancini/pizza heaven, Galleria Umberto. It's destination shopping and good eats all in one. (Shop first!) They carry a great selection of jeans and have a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Service is great - they'll call or e-mail when your style/size comes in and they have a spare set of heels provided. Good attention to detail here.
However, I'm marking down for two key reasons. These are premium jeans at premium prices - there should be 1. lighting in the dressing rooms and 2. a better mirror setup. The cute cabana style changing rooms have NO lighting within - please slap up a sconce or two (www dot croftandlittle dot com). Also, there's just one large floor length mirror - what?! No three way, not even a hand held? A girl's gotta check out the rear view before she plunks down $200 for her jeans. I hate to get all business schooly, but Invest a few dollars and reap the rewards many times over in sales.
shorties of yelp -- head to injeanius immediately!!
i'm 5'3 and if you're as short as i am, you know what it's like shopping for jeans. inseams cut for supermodel-length legs, paying $200 for jeans that you then end up paying EXTRA to get hemmed...it's ridiculous. well, guess what. my dream of buying a pair of jeans and being able to wear them immediately was realized here!
injeanius actually carries petite sizes of premium brands! i told the super helpful staff my size and that i prefer darker wash jeans, and they had three REALLY cute pairs of petite sized jeans in my size to try on! (joe's jeans and citizens.) i would have bought all three if the combined price wasn't uncomfortably close to my monthly rent :/
injeanius was the most painless jean shopping experience i've EVER had. the store is cute, the salespeople are helpful and friendly (they helped me pick out which jeans looked best) and hey -- you're shopping local, can't beat that!
FYI check them out this weekend, 5/17 and 5/18..they're having a sidewalk sale with jeans less than $100 :)

This cute little boutique has all the brands you want and none of the annoying attitude that goes along with buying them. Alison is really helpful and you can tell customer service is totally her priority. My mom bought a pair of her jeans, brought them home, (might have had them hemmed too, I forget) decided she wasn't loving them and alison let her exchange them for another pair. Taking care of customers is so important, and she's got it down.
In all honesty the majority of women who buy high end jeans are looking for them to make them feel and look awesome. Without help from a seasoned pro (like alison) you could easily get lost and never find what you want.
Big plus: within walking distance from some of the best restaurants in the north end!
Shopping for Jeans is about as frustrating as finding a perfect bathing suit. Hate to say it about another business, but there wasn't a single pair of jeans in the place that fit me, and I'm like a size 2. Also, everything the girl showed were low-riders which are SO 2 years ago.
Maybe they were waiting for a new shipment?
Finding a pair of jeans that fit perfectly can be hard and this place is really helpful with fit and has a nice selection..Denim has gotten so expensive in recent years but this place has sales at the end of the season and that's where I scored my fave!!! They also carry a limited selection of very cool tops. The neighborhood in general is fun to walk around in and there are great Italian restaurants and gift shops!
Success! After several failed attempts at several shops I finally hit the jackpot at Injeanius.
Injeanius is located so far down Hanover St that my husband was convinced we missed it. I've never gone that far into the N. End!
I really enjoyed shopping there, although I was expecting more selection. I was able to find everything easily and the SA was really helpful. It was nicely organized and easy for me to find my size. Unfortunately, because it is so small I don't think they stock that much at a time because my size was missing from a lot of the styles. I ended up with a pair of Kasil jeans, a designer I had never heard of before. I'm so glad I made the trip down there because these jeans make my bum look amazing.
They also have a nice selection of tops and accessories to go with the jeans. You can do all of your casual shopping here and then go up to Twilight for your party attire.

Situated between bakeries, meatballs and other North End favorites! Awesome selection of denim! Filled with hard to find boutique brands and favorites you wont see everywhere!
The staff is helpful and quick to make recommendations-in a good way! Grab a bite apres, shopping though!

Alison, the owner, really knows her stuff.
I've been to In-jean-ius a few times, and while I've never purchased anything, I can't help but admire the selection of jeans and accessories.
Every time I've been there, Alison is giving sound advice on what will and will not work on a particular client's body.
Where has she been all my life where I've spent painstaking hours trying to find jeans that give me a hot ass?
It's a shame I've cut myself off from buying another pair of jeans for a while - seriously, you should see my collection, it's obscene - but when it's time, you'd better believe that this is where I'm heading.

This is an adorable little boutique for the ladies tucked away on the far side of Hanover towards the water in the north end. They have hard-to-find denim labels and a super fun mix of accessories, T-shirts, dresses, tops and jackets.
It is on the pricier side but let's face it....the designer denim craze is here to stay...at least for a while....and i think that everyone needs that one pair of jeans with a perfect fit for your body ---that you can rock day or night-dressed up or down. It is a must-have investment!
Also of importance here is that the owner and her staff are all very sweet!
Boys the guy version is across the street at Modo Gatto.

Feeling overwhelmed by the denim departments at Barney's, Saks and Neimans, I took a trip to this little boutique in the North End and felt at ease the second I walked in the door. The woman working there couldn't have been nicer and handed me several pairs of jeans that definitely hadn't been available at the department stores. After slipping on the third pair in one of the adorable dressing rooms/cabanas, I was satisfied and knew my search was over.
Needless to say, I will not be wasting my time by visiting any other stores the next time I buy a pair of jeans.

This place is great! I got excellent customer service**by the owners mom none the less** and left with two great pairs of jeans that were super comfy and I love. The second pair I bought because everyone in the store talked them up so much and they were so comfy I couldn't leave without them. I'm not super skinny with twig legs so jeans have always been hard to buy and this was the first time I've gone to a jean store got personal service didn't try on jeans that would never fit over my thighs and left feeling great. I completely recommend going here.

If I were a woman, I'd be very happy with myself....no really. This place is hip, friendly, fashionable and everything that goes with a boutique jean store. Went there and spent almost a week's paycheck on the lovely woman.
They are located past Mike's Pastry (a review coming) and on the right coming from Fanueil Hall.

The owner has this amazing eye for picking out jeans for different body types. She knows her selection well!
Unfortunately, the selection is quite small and the boutique is very popular...which means that great personal service can be hard to come by

Injeanius is well-located on Hanover Street, one of the liveliest streets in the North End, and the neighborhood it's in has retained much of its old-world charm, despite being a popular tourist destination. This shop is not too long a walk from the North Station stop on the Green/Orange Line, and though rather small, it stocks some really cute and unusual clothing, and has items like shirts and shoes in addition to jeans. The one problem I found with Injeanius was its pricing; I checked the tags on some of the t-shirts, and the lowest price I saw was $40. The sweatshirts, if I remember right, got into the triple digits. As I mentioned, the clothing here is nice, but these kind of prices are a bit ridiculous.

Love the store... at the same level as National Jean Co. However... space is a little tight and there never seem to be sales...
