Great customer experience. A must see in Truckee.

There is nothing better!

What an exciting experience I had in this store tonight. Vivian the owner was closing up shop, lights out and everything. She welcomed me with open arms and spent the next hour helping me pick out some awesome stuff for my 80s party. She was such a pleasure to work with and super helpful. Not only did I find some groovy gear. Got some other things too. Boots Im in LOVE with ♡. Thank you so much for all your help and great conversation. There is definitely something for everyone in her shop. An assortment of everything. . You wont be disappointed.

I absolutely fell in love with this store and Vivian is such an amazing woman and host! I recommend this place completely!!!!

Today I went in to this amazing and TRULY “Unique Boutique” in Truckee, CA for my 5th or 6th time ever because I’ve been trying to purge and not be too Excessive in what I desire to buy verses what I realistically need, Despite make great love for fashion. I must say that each time I’ve experienced this amazing place, I have been met with so much love and extremely precise and on point service, it’s like nothing I’ve ever even imagined possible. Vivian is perhaps one of the most talented, giving, loving and powerful stylists and business owners that I have ever encountered. She is always 100% on point and 100% present to help me find exactly what I need, in that exact moment, for whatever event I came searching for. I have never met anyone who cares so much for her customers, and Is also able to fully set me up in the most perfect way each and every time my friends and I arrive. She has a magical talent that is beyond giving and beyond anything you could find in any “normal boutique”.I would recommend this shopped it anyway and searching for inspiration, care, style, kindness and some good old fashion local love That you truly cannot find in other retail stores.I cannot even express the gratitude I have toward my experience here. It is truly like nothing I’ve ever experienced before and I am beyond grateful for all the incredible outfits I have been turned onto you and all the events I’ve ended up showing up looking beyond fabulous up. Vivian is one of the most kind caring, loving, talented and amazing business owners I have ever met, and She has continuously inspired me to look my best and Help walk me through every step of the way regarding fashion and local business ownership, as I have also owned 4 Yoga Studio’s over the past 18 years in Tahoe and have been continually inspired by her commitment, passion and devotion for all that walks her her door. I feel we are kindred spirits as I have always been the same and it’s refreshing and so sweet to find someone else who works so hard to make people feel and look their best. I am wildly impressed and inspired by her loving energy and commitment to making Truckee great. Thank you for all you do Vivian. Because of you we are all looking and feeling our best! We love and adore you and your amazing Unique boutique always.

Great place! Amazing, friendly service!

Amazing experience, felt so welcomed and found some amazing clothing items that I love! I highly recommend coming here to find your treasure hunting! We had Amazing conversation, and left the store smiling bigger and brighter than when we arrived!

I cant say enough about this cute little vintage shop! I live in San Francisco and make it a point to visit on the rare occasion Im in Tahoe. Viviane is an absolute Doll and has lots of amazing gems. If youre looking for something specific Viviane most likely has it. I recently scored a mint condition black & white plaid vintage Burberry coat for $70. eBay was selling the same coat for over $400! Total score. Absolutely worth the stop. Hope to see you soon Viv!

I love the energy of this boutique and the owner is the best part of the experience!

Awesome store with an awesome owner, Viviane! Lots of variety and fun :) A unique gem off the beaten path.

Not just an incredible store with such a special selection-- its an experience! Viviane is wonderful and wont stop until you find the perfect, unique outfit. Had no idea what I wanted going in and came out with such a spectacular wardrobe. Better than anything else in town, cant recommend more!

The BEST Thrift store in the entire universe. Viviane is the most amazing person on earth: she will not only give you a great deal on some amazingly unique and wonderful merchandise, she will also give you the indescribable gift of true, unconditional, compassionate love. She makes it a point to know everyone who walks into the store, and you will leave with hugs and a huge smile on your face. This place exists in a secret realm of awesomeness. Youll see.

Viviane was amazing!!! She helped us put together some amazing costumes for an event we had. She stuck with us the entire time, suggesting items and letting us try them on. She was a hoot. I highly suggest checking out her store... the options are endless. We will be back for sure. She is the type of shop owner that really cares about you and your needs. Thank you Viviane!

Absolutely the BEST shop in Truckee for vintage and costume clothing. Its off the beaten path and perfect in every way! Vivi is so much fun & helpful too!

I have so much admiration for the hard work, servitude, and sacrifices that it takes to keep a corner boutique such as this in business. Therefore, giving a business one star is not without careful consideration, considering the potentially negative impact.For this reason also, I think it’s fitting to start with the positive, as their were quite a few.I made my to Unique Boutique, from Sacramento,while on my way to my moms Near Susanville when I decided to stop in.Vivian has an eye for style. Listening in, as I was Trying on about 20 items, I could hear her giving great suggestions with tact and honesty, to both male and female customers, as they stopped on their way to burning man in hopes of finding an outfit to wear to this unique event, which they did.The store has a lot of unique, well made clothing, which the prices reflect appropriately. The average summer dress, 10.00, a bustier, 25.00, good quality, dressy leggings, 20.00, and a killer deal on a fabulous purse at just 18.00.So now for what some may view as a negative, but not me, so as long as everything else went swell.When I pulled up, Vivian was out front getting a hair cut. No problem. So I waited just a few short minutes until she unlocked the door. It was very warm inside, no air conditioning, and no cold drinking water that I could see. As I made my way through racks that were packed way too tightly, and a store that was very cluttered, I found several items to try on.The heat, and the messiness, made shopping a bit daunting, but I was happy at that point. There was some confusion as to my dressing room, and what I didn’t want.I’m not sure if Vivian was asking me to give her what I didn’t want to free up the room, or not, but that’s what I thought at the time, so I draped the unwanted neatly over my arm, and gave them to her, and hurried over to check out. I normally always hang up what I dont buy. In this case though, I was very fatigued due to the heat, and a shoulder injury that makes trying on clothes unusually taxing. I had mentioned to Vivian earlier about my unjury, explaining that I may take a while in the dressing room. She mentioned she had a shoulder injury as well, and knew what it was like to try to get clothes over your head and reach behind your back to zip and so forth.So here is where it got ugly. She told me point blank that I needed to hang up my clothes. I was stunned. She said it’s very rude to expect her to have to hang up every customers clothing, and asked me how I would feel if I were her. I said I would feel that hanging up the clothes, though not exactly thrilling, was part of the service that a clothing boutique would provide, and therefore, Frankly, asking me to do it, especially considering how much I’m buying, is unreasonable. She went on for a minute defending herself until she realized how much I was buying. After we were finished, I couldn’t find my eye glasses. She was very rude about that. Not helpful, and annoyed with me. So I said, how about if I let you handle the customers in the store. I’ll go to my car, and look more carefully, and wait until you aren’t busy with customers to come back in. So, doing just that, I knocked, as the door was locked.She was again really rude, saying “I dont know what you want me to do. I looked around and didn’t see them.” (NOT SO). So I said, listen. I need my glasses. Would it be ok If I went behind the counter. I think they were wrapped up in my purchase and may have dropped. She said well I looked there. Then starts to empty out her bag, beseeching me, saying see! See! Not here. At that time, my fur was slightly puffed, and my back was beginning to arch. I calmly stated- never mind Vivian. I will leave. Have a nice evening.She ran after me, pounded on my window, yelling, saying- it’s not all about me, that she has other customers too yada yada.My first thought was: Good grief! She has other customer? Really? Not when I’m done yelping! However I waited until my heart rate returned to normal before writing this.Vivian. Did you find my glasses? 😊

Looks like a great store, but it wasnt open even though it said it was going to be.

Indeed Magical mayhem. Thank you Viviane for making a 5 min stop into absolute hilarity. The yoga pants in the hot tub were a massive hit.

Found some amazing clothes with the help of the most amazing store owner! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great shopping experience

Love this shop!! A little bit of everything....Viviene is so gracious! Glad I found this shop...Going back as soon as I can! Love her dog, Louie!

AMAZING! Walked in at 6 and Vivienne was ready to go home but stayed and hung out and looked around with us. She was so fun, so sweet, and knew the story behind each piece. The shop was incredible. We plan to go back and do more exploring, but we left with an epic Helly Hanson ski onesie and a bowtie.

The owner is very sweet and helpful. She really spent the time to help us find what we needed.

Thanks Vivian for great shoes at a good price and helping me at the end of your day.

So much fun, I bring all my girlfriends who visit to go see Vivian.

Fun meeting with groovey friends and customers, all ways Magical!
