Frances

Since France's changed owners it not the same. Before there was more variety. It also feels way more overpriced for items. It's still a cute store but def not as before.

I've been a longtime patron of Frances and recently visited during the Thanksgiving holiday. They carry some of my favorite jewelry designers both locally and across the country. The store is divided into a front room and back room, with the back room focused on kids, "mens", homewares and a mix of everything in between. The back room also carries the sales! I've gotten so many great gifts for others (and myself!) because they curate unique finds for a special moment. I typically stop here for my birthday or special occasion cards. Staff is super friendly and attentive to questions or visiting the locked jewelry counter. Pricing is on the higher end for keychains, some jewelry and women's clothing. They stock Larissa Loden, one of my favs (and affordable!) jewelers out of Minneapolis.

Oy - I don't think I've been in this sweet little shop since it opened 10+ years ago but I was on foot & passing by so had to duck in. I always recommend it to visitors looking for gifts/souvenirs that are locally made & reflective of Phoenix.
SO MUCH cute, fun & useful stuff in a wide variety of price ranges. Their inventory runs the gamut: bags from my favorite reusable bag company Baggu to "tell it like it is" hoop earrings to letter pressed cards & craft cocktail mixers. So happy to step inside and get some birthday & house warming gift ideas!

I've bought jewelry, pins, patches, and keychains here but they also have clothes, things for baby, homegoods, and more. Most if not all things are local. What I love is if I'm buying a gift they do complimentary gift wrapping which is nice.

Parking is rough, it's a very small lot behind the store which they share with Stinkweeds record shop, and Halo piercing.

For pricing, a gold filled crescent moon necklace was $50, a large alligator enamel keychain was $9, and a joint smoking cat enamel pin was $15. Sometimes they have sales, you can always call ahead to ask. Since the cat was a gift they happily gift wrapped it for free.

Frances is one of my favorite places to shop. If i need a gift for any occasion or am looking for a cool shirt or sweater for myself i know I am going to find it there!

Their home and kitchen goods section is really cool too, I always leave inspired to cook something new.

The staff is super friendly and they are masters of gift wrapping. Always a great experience!

Very cool shop! Would be a great place to stop for a souvenir or little gift. I went to crafteteria, which they have outside on saturdays during the holidays, and it was fun! I got a couple cards from one of the vendors. I didn't get anything from the store but had fun looking around. The staff is nice too! I had a little trouble finding the place since you can't see the entrance from the street, but I figured it out! Cool place!

I've always been a fan of Frances, but I'm really loving the direction they've taken! I typically visit the shop for their accessories and small gifts, so decided to stop by for a birthday gift for a friend's toddler and was very surprised to see all the new styles they're carrying! I left with a cute crocheted doll for my little friend and a tie dye summer dress for myself. Everything in the shop is much more modern and affordable without losing that local magic it has always carried. I highly recommend going there for some trendy affordable clothing and housewares, many being small batch and locally crafted. Also the best spot for a truly unique souvenir gift from Arizona for those traveling through.

I don't even know how I stumbled across Frances on Instagram, but once I found it, I knew I had to visit the locally owned boutique store.

Frances has a nice selection of woman's clothes; I know I could find something super cute that my daughter would love. They also have some pretty adorable baby onesie and books.

What I love is the unique items, from coin pursues, name plaques, great notebooks, catchy gift items, I honestly could spend a lot of time checking out everything they have!

If you are looking for a one of kind item to buy yourself or friend, go check out Frances, you won't be disappointed!

This store has some really nice Arizona souvenir type items. Not everything in here is souvenir stuff, they have many nice giftable items.

Someone I know recently shared this place on Instagram and it looked so cute that I had to visit.

I loved the feel in here. It was Instagram-worthy (which we all love, let's be real), had the most kind and inviting staff, and had something for everyone.

The shop includes jewelry, knick knacks, clothing, patches and pins, soap, feminist-themed things, Arizona decor, reusable bags and cleaning supplies, children's things, etc etc.

I bought gold cactus earrings, a ring with a gold band and silver heart, rose soap, and a Swedish washcloth. I wouldn't have picked that up if one of the employees hadn't talked me into it! I've used it a few times and (1) it's cute, (2) it's held up after a few washes so far, and (3) is stronger than it looks! Thanks, girl (who I can't remember her name - sorry!).

I am obsessed with everything I purchased. I loved the shop, the products, and the people. Great boutique!
