Alhambra

Alhambra is a coveted and necessary stop when I visit Seattle. It is one of the best boutiques that I have found. Serpil, the owner, has an amazing eye for fashion and she has been assisting me with my shopping needs for many years. Alhambra is a treasure.

I’ve been shopping at Alhambra for over a decade. The owners are passionate about fashion, quality, authenticity and originality. Their selection is carefully curated, much of what they carry can’t be found anywhere else in Seattle. I have pieces from Alhambra that are 10 years old and still in my rotation. Love this shop.

I visited Alhambra about a month ago to purchase sandals I saw advertised on Instagram. The shop is in the heart of Belltown (my favorite neighborhood in Seattle!) and has been there for quite a while. It’s warm and inviting and carries beautifully eclectic clothing and accessories. I’m willing to bet that most of what it carries isn’t available elsewhere in the city. The woman who helped me was lovely, and I could have stayed in there all afternoon!

This is not a store to do business with. The return policy is ridiculous and the staff completely inflexible. You will get a store credit only. And their pictures on the website do not accurately depict the goods, so beware buying online!

Absolutely no returns allowed. Be warned. Do not buy someone a gift here or they will be stuck with it. I tried to explain my situation and the owner wouldn't budge. No compassion.
