I have shopped at The Phoenix for years and it is absolutely my favorite place to find unique pieces of superior quality that last for years and never go out of style for my wardrobe. I always leave looking and feeling beautiful and powerful from the the clothes and the experience. The store has a welcoming sense of community that has a strong and loyal following where women come from other states to shop at The Phoenix when in town. The Phoenix offers a personalized shopping experience with as much or as little help as you would like with finding just the right piece for any occasion. K, the owner

I have been shopping at the Phoenix in Richmond since 2006. I love shopping there and it is the only place I've shopped where you get the experience of having a Personal Shopper like Kay work with you. She is fantastic at always finding exactly what I like and presenting tops, pants, dresses, accessories that I would
never think looked good on me and they do. Go to the Phoenix and you'll never want to shop anywhere else.

Phoenix is the best place to go to get personalized help, honest opinions & great suggestions for clothes outside your usual go-to colors & styles. Look like you but even better with Kay, the owners, great eye!

I have shopped for my wife at the Phoenix for the past decade. The store has always been unique and friendly to men shopping for their significant other. It is not generally easy or comfortable for men to shop for their wives. Often sales people just ignore you or wonder why are you there? But the owner and staff at the Phoenix have always made me feel comfortable and welcome, spending a lot of time helping me find the perfect items, which I always do. The staff have become like family to me. Now I shop for my daughter in law also. Her co-workers tell her she is lucky to have a father in law with

I love this store and I always find good things here. Once I changed my mind and decided that I wanted a shirt that I had tried on but not bought after I had returned home out of state. I called them up and it was mailed within a few days. There are alway very current high end brands here and this store seems to get them before the other places.

I entered the store, not quite sure what to expect, but the ladies working were able to help me throw together some very fun, and modern pieces to make a very unique outfit! Their professionalism, and obvious passion for fashion made it a memorable experience! I look forward to returning to Richmond, and visiting Pheonix again!
