Boris & Natasha

We’ve been making the trip to Charlotte just to visit Boris + Natasha since the mid 90s, first from Rock Hill and now from Asheville (RIP Central Ave Fresh Produce and Superior Feet era) - and we come back at least once a year now just for this boutique because B+N manages to keep getting better every time. Hope curates an incredible selection, so genuinely cool and unique. The pieces that I have from B+N get compliments decades later, and there is no other store I’ve found in the region that gives customers enough credit that we can and WANT to integrate bold and brave pieces into our lifelong wardrobe aesthetic. The prices aren’t cheap, but they have always(!) been fair and obviously designed to be able to give everyone a shot at getting a piece they love - with the store’s eye for clothes, they could easily get more pieces that would price us right out of being able to shop there, and it’s obvious how much care they’ve taken over the years to make sure there are items that continue to stay within our budget. Hope doesn’t play it safe, she plays it smart with sharp edges, incredible proportions, and plenty of ruffles - five stars aren’t enough. Thanks for keeping it real, y'all. See you next trip!

Quirky. Funky. Well curated. Good vibes all around. Will try to remember to update with pics - have received so many compliments on 1 of the 3 items I purchased already. Also love the periodic donations of a portion of sales to causes that matter.

Hope has an eye for unique finds and curates them in store that will dazzle you with color and inspire your style! I always shop for myself there but you can certainly find a rad gift. $10 shades / shoes that will drive you wild! Go check out one of Charlotte’s gems!💜

This boutique store is a must-see if you don't want to look like the crowd. It offers different clothing choices from men to women. A shoe collection as well. An assortment of glasses and sunglasses. I didn't want to mention the jewelry because I want to go back and get some before they're all gone. Hope is a pleasure to converse with along with Rei. 💜💜💜

Hope is an absolute pleasure to do business with. I frequent this boutique whenever I need something truly special and unique. The last time I went, Hope helped me pick the perfect gift for my best friend and I even found an awesome suede jacket for myself. I love that she designs and creates her own jewelry that you can't find anywhere else! Her pieces are so special! Shop local and support this community institution!

a bit overpriced and wasn’t a thrift/ vintage store as I was expecting since they order everything and have it in multiple sizes (which can be helpful). definitely some cute and unique pieces but to me didn’t seem worth the price, except for the rings and sunglasses they have. they also have a sales rack in case you might be interested. I do not plan on returning

I like to collect unusual pieces for my wardrobe. Borris and Natasha always have a fabulous selection and today was no exception. I can’t wait to rock my new python turtleneck!

Absolutely great and unique attire and atmosphere! Found the perfect mid century spring dress! Very refreshing! And wonderful service!

Always find just the thing at Boris & Natasha. This trip -earrings and a knife on a necklace made with vintage find.

I got the cutest top today, can't wait to wear it. This is a very eclectic little spot that sells one-of-a-kind items including clothing, jewelry, and shoes. Highly recommend!

Just an unpleasant visit all around. When we walked in, we were abruptly directed to use hand sanitizer for that was sitting a bit off from the door. We obliged & began browsing the racks, but must items weren't our personal style, which happens, no big deal. As I walked to the small sunglass section, the woman at the register gave me a diatribe about how all sunglasses were priced. There was a large dog behind the counter & I asked if the the dog belonged to the owner. The shop assistant kind of snorted & said, "Yeah." I just decided to leave so I grabbed my friends & we left without any further acknowledgement. However, I do recommend the adjoining thrift shop next to this place.

Unique fashion apparel & accessories for women and men. If looking for distinct clothing beyond the usual shopping excursion - definitely put Boris & Natasha on your list of stops!

I went to this spot looking for a gift for a friend. I will never set foot in there again. The owners didn't even acknowledge my presence. They were too busy talking to a man in the store that looked like them...I will stick to my regular shops and boutiques in the future

A great little eclectic clothing boutique with very friendly service. You just have to go, its kind of hard to explain. This isn't your average clothing store by any means. They a wide variety of jewelry as well. I personally have never bought anything from there but have been with lady friends who love the place.

I absolutely love everything I got at Boris and Natasha. Help helps me pick out sunglasses with fabulous outfits, find the best T-shirts, and find the most trendy styles to purchase before I'm going on trips. I highly recommend checking it out to see what she has to offer in the store.

Great clothes! Cool Sunglasses- Amazing Jewelry!!!!

While my friend and I (who frequently visit this store and spend a lot of money here) visited this past Saturday felt completely disappointed and disrespected by the owner because her dog was barking while we had our dog outside on a leash (with her partner) while we wanted to shop and spend money inside. While we were browsing, the owner who was checking out other guests, made a snide comment, about how our dog should get away because her dog was resting in the store front window and the presence of our dog made her dog bark and snarl. She mad a really snide and rude comment to the guest she was helping and essentially told them that they (us) needed to get away from her store because her dog was barking at the sight of our dog. It was just uncalled for, rude, shitty and quite frankly just disrespectful. This area is a dog friendly area and if you don't want your dog to bark at other dogs, the maybe don't bring your dog to work. We will be avoiding your store in the future and make sure to inform other dog owners of your attitude and policies towards other dog owners in the area.

Seriously? You're going to just stand behind the counter staring at me after I walk into your store and cheerfully say "Hi!"? Wait, you're going to follow me around, too, when I get slightly out of sight in the Men's section? Um, you only stock way-marked up designer and knock off crap that a) anyone with half a brain could source on the internet for cheaper and b) seems to be a selection of the ugliest, trendiest wares available that season? Oh, Boris and Natasha... I remember when you were a latex-bedecked, stripey, upscale goth version of Hot Topic, and I wish you'd revert back. At least you were good for a laugh.

I don't know why it's taken me oh-so-long to step into Boris & Natasha?! Honestly, I didn't know what to expect, but I was really impressed overall. The major points of importance... 1) Selection: Everything from affordable, adorable brands like BB Dakota and Double Zero to uber trendy and pricey Anna Sui and Vivienne Westwood. I also saw plenty of brands in between like Tibi and French Connection. Whether you're on a budget or blowing out the bank, there's something here for you. The mix is great and there are tons of dresses and tops for a variety of styles (and price points)! I didn't, however, see too many pants or jeans except for on one wall near the cash register. 2) Price: Just to clarify from above - tops from $20-$200, dresses from $40-$600 (only a few at that elevated price point), jewelry was all over the map and really, really cool. 3) Staff: The staff was really friendly and quite helpful! They let me shop around, made a worthwhile suggestion that actually led to a purchase. FYI - I had a lovely top in my hand and they suggested I take a peek at a dress that was the of similar style. I didn't find them to be the least bit overbearing or on the other side of the coin, aloof, they were right in the middle. While I don't have a solid reason why I waited so long to visit Boris & Natasha I know I won't wait too long to go back!

Occasionally (well a bit more than that), I get a craving for Boris & Natasha, and this trendy, eclectic shop never lets me down. If you're looking for the 'perfect jumper', statement vintage jewelry, cool clod-hoppers (see Jeffrey Campbell), hipster denim, or romantic skirts and blouses, this spot will meet and exceed your standards. On the surface or after a quick browse, it may seem pricey to some, but there are great deals to be had for the patient and eagle-eyed, and Hope works diligently to offer a fair range of prices for everyone, e.g. carries a couple shoe lines that are stylish, durable and range from $45-65 a pair, not to mention the sales rack (minimal items but worth the look). Oh, and I forgot, her crazy array of cute $10 sunglasses (now I'm telling secrets...oh well). Hope you find the time to browse one day; tell Hope that Ivy sent you. :)

Although I've never been able to afford to buy anything from Boris & Natasha, I've had lots of fun window shopping. It's a great place to get a taste of what's happening in fashion, and then you can hit up Forever 21 to get the knock-off version. The customer service is top-knotch, as it should be for a boutique. If you've got deep pockets, then Boris & Natasha is the best place in Charlotte to get your hoochie clothes for the club...if they're not so deep...get your clubbing inspiration, and make the hike to Concord Mills for the Forever 21 alternative.

Stopped in after a bite to eat down the block and was pleasantly surprised by the super array of jewelry/accessories. Gorgeous and unique pieces! I bought a Boba Fett wallet to satisfy my Star Wars fashion urge. Would have loved more time to browse the clothing selection. Two adorable dogs lounging about (so sweet!!!) made me want to shop in there all day.

Fabulous, friendly service without ever feeling like you're being pressured or annoyed. If you want honest opinions on how clothing fits and great advice about what you should try on that you may never have even considered, this is the place. I always find amazing shoes here! Awesome jewelry collection to browse and the clothing rotates frequently. Last, but certainly not least, great sales!

The staff here is somewhat friendly but their selection is lacking. I find their prices to be insanely high. I mean, it's Charlotte not Rodeo Drive.

Cool hipster clothing shop, housed in a large colorful corner building in Plaza Milwood offers an assortment of modern fashions for men and women, although the offerings for men are more limited than for the ladies. The usual assortment of hipster brands - Modern Amusement, Munsingwear, Ben Sherman and the like are represented. The shop girls follow patrons around, but do not offer assistance unless asked, at least during our visit, perhaps there are a lot of thefts in the store that justifies this odd practice. Store mascot, Odie McMuffin, a mix breed dog was one of the highlights of the visit.

I walked into Boris and Natasha's and I was greeted by the disco sounds of LCD Soundsystem. Not to mention it was the first time I had been to the place in almost eight years and the owner still remembered me. There is nothing I love more than people that respect their clientelle as much as this place. The clothes are somewhat expensive, but its a boutique and that is the way that it goes. The staff is absolutely wonderful and full of fashion and music knowledge. The store is set up with all of the colors of the rainbow. There is a great selection of funky aviators (glasses are my thing). See what's up!

How I wish I could afford anything at Boris & Natasha...I would buy so much clothes there. They've got really cute, funky dresses, skirts and tops. Lots of high-end brands like Anna Sui, Ben Sherman, Modern Amusement and French Connection. They've also got great jewelry, and sometimes jewelry designers do trunk shows there.

Hip clothes for the instant rock and roller. Spanking new Ben Shermans are very expensive but if you can't find it anywhere else in Charlotte, you can certainly find it here.

I've only been in this store twice but I've loved it both times. I don't remember how the customer service was last time i went (over a year ago) but I do remember that I got some awesome green over-priced boots for really cheap because they were on sale in the middle of summer on a 99 degree day. I still wear the boots and think that their sale section is awesome. When I went in today i got a really cute mustard yellow top that was a very unique, chic design. THe guy behind the counter was SUPER friendly and helpful. I def enjoyed shopping there today. As for the price, it ranges. Some things are pretty moderately pried while others are pretty expensive. It really just depends on what brand you're looking for. I will definitely continue shopping here.

Hope was so helpful and friendly! I love everything in that store especially the shoes & sterling silver jewelry. Will definitely return!!

Wonderful store and owner! Great selection of unique fashion! A Must visit when in Plaza Midwood!

Perfect for hipster fashion. Its a little pricey for me, but I usually end up going there once or twice a year to get that perfect hat or vest. The owner has always been helpful to me and is extremely generous with donating to charities that I worked on.

As someone who gives credit where it is due..here is what I can say about this place. Nice, trendy and classic pieces. Terrible customer service. Primarily overpriced. I myself have experienced the "not so friendly vibe"...as well as many of my friends. We've all had similar experiences there. It's almost like "you're not buying anything,so who cares" But why would we? When you feel like your business won't be appreciated. I also know friends who sell to the boutique and the markup is insane. So I know the value just isn't there. But I'm not trying to knock her hustle...I've purchased things in the past. The attitude always changes when you're spending money... so I think that's the key. *side eye*

I'm not too sure how to review this place. They have some great funky clothes which a lot are retro remakes. Where new companies will buy old patterns and styles from defunk companies. I have bought a few things here and do like the place, but it reminds me of people looking for that "vintage look" but want it in brand new shape and don't mind paying 45 dollars for a t-shirt or 150 dollars for "vintage looking" jeans. I guess its a bit too LA for me. If you want to look vintage you shouldn't be spending Nordstrom prices.

Being from Montana, we just don't get a selection of designer stuff like this. Anna Sui? Impossible So I was in heaven lifting stuff off the racks and trying it on. I especially loved that Hope has high/low price points on EVERYTHING. I bought THE MOST amazing pair of shoes for $79. She and her employee even stayed after hours to let me try stuff on (which they probably don't make a habit of, but I am eternally grateful, as my flight left early the next morning). I found them to be very relaxed and helpful, not hovering. I gave specific concerns about my figure flaws, and both Hope and her employee went on a scavenger hunt finding appropriate cuts within my price range. They nailed it! I love this place! I think it really shows when someone is passionate about what they do; Hope clearly is an expert and loves what she does.

This place is party girl/hipster central. There are slinky dresses and various other club ware. All kinds of designer brands, so it's not the cheapest place on the face of the planet, but the shoes are worth it at least. They also have party supplies, so if you need interesting decorations to go with that new outfit this is the place to come.

Hate this place and wish it off the face of the earth. The atmosphere sucks, mainly because the associates will follow you around and appear to seriously doubt you can afford the merchandise. And the merchandise is over-priced. Has some cute things for sale, but I would never buy anything from the place.

Over the years, I've gathered some amazing jewelry pieces from Boris & Natasha. Hope does a wonderful job of working with local artists! I also enjoy that I can find less expensive costume pieces when the pockets are light (lol). While I generally purchase jewelry, I've also picked up a few great pieces of clothing and pairs of shoes, too.

Stopped in Boris and Natasha recently with some friends. It is a funky place with a surprisingly large guys section. Most everything wasn't my style as it leaner towards flashy and "look at me" items. For men it is super pricey hipster - a lot of niche brands along with Ben Sherman and Original Penguin. Nice to have some different things to look at than mall clothes though. It had the feel of a thrift or secondhand store, but with new clothes and higher prices. Service seemed to be friendly and they made an effort to point out some things that I would potentially like.

I've been going to Boris & Natasha for nearly a decade. As you can imagine (and hope) my tastes and budget have changed. No matter what my spending limits are, I can ALWAYS find a great dress or ensemble. The employees are just lovely- bringing me additional sizes, suggesting great styles (both things that fit my pre-existing wardrobe and things that are out of the ordinary- items that I most often end up purchasing). Beyond the incredibly versatile selection of clothing, they also have an amazing selection of eclectic jewelry from local designers, great (and cheap) sunglasses, and wonderful shoes ranging from very affordable flats to beautifully constructed leather boots. I sadly no longer live in Charlotte but every time I come back in town for a visit, this is most definitely a required stop.

I have purchased some of the meanest hats and sunglasses from Boris & Natasha's. I really appreciate the cozy lil setup as well. Really my type of hype! Ya dig?

I've been living in Charlotte for over a year and just went to Boris and Natasha for the first time this week. Considering I have shopped around Central Ave frequently, goes to show you how this place can be overlooked easily. In terms of dress selection, I absolutely adored the place! The prices were a bit steeper than I'm willing to pay, but I did find a great dress for an upcoming wedding that was reasonable. My husband really likes the store as well, said he wanted to buy everything! Consider this a new destination shop we'll be visiting often when we need our shopping fix.

This store houses a museum quality assortment of original, handmade and vintage jewelry. With a serious passion for this stuff the curator here has an amazing eye. There really is something for everyone: glitter, glamour, tribal, sweet, sexy...the sky's the limit.

Interesting little shabby chic clothing store on Thomas Ave with it's very own cute puppy to pet while you visit. OK maybe he's not as young as he used to be, but who is? We always find a cool dress or hat in there. The hats are awesome, yes it can be pricey, but they have a sales rack in the back t check out and the clothes are unusual labels you don't necessarily find elsewhere in Charlotte. Think of it like King St. in Charleston. If you want to find something unusual come to Boris and Natasha.

Upscale sexy clothing. Awesome dogs that greet every visitor. A bit out of my price range but I did like the clothing.

Boris + Natasha is THE destination for cutting edge fashion for both men and woman. This is not the place you want to shop if you do not want to be noticed or complemented on your appearance or style! The prices do vary tremendously so do not be surprised if you find a $70 dress on the same rack as a $300 skirt. Whether you plan on spending $70 or $300, you will find some amazing clothes, shoes, shades and jewelry. This is my one stop shop for most social occasions. From French Connection to Double Zero, Boris + Natasha fits sexy-trendy to classic-chic style preferences.

I visited Boris and Natasha's yesterday to look around and I was hoping for a much better experience. I love fashion, and I genuinely enjoy looking at higher-end clothing (I usually don't buy it, but I've been known to...) just to say I have seen it. I walked into the store to and was "greeted" (more like appraised based on my shorts and tank top ensemble) by 1 of 4 employees sitting around their empty, over-priced store. As I looked around, I was followed by that same employee who watched my every move. It got ridiculous so I just left without seriously considering looking at something. Yes, I understand I am a teenager, but for all they know I could be ready to drop some cash on dresses and I was not impressed AT ALL at their attitudes. (After all who is there target audience here...they're playing pop/indie music and selling junior high-end dresses and they don't want teens in their store?!) Their clothes were decent, but the brands in the store, such as French Connection, normally have more to offer and I don't feel like Boris and Natasha's was selling it well. I give them 2 stars because I'm not completely heartless, but I was pretty unimpressed, not to mention intimidated out of mind by that clingy saleswoman...You and your wallet would do much better elsewhere in Charlotte.

I experience racial profiling during my visit at this store. I have previously been a customer before the bad experience of being followed around the store like I was going to steal merchandise and because of that bad experience I know longer want to spend money at this place. I have never felt so mistreated and uncomfortable.

Lot's of cool unique things, hard to find in Charlotte. Pretty expensive. The dog is really cute.
