Francesca’s Collections

Cute little place to shop! Their jewelry is so cute that I often can’t decide what to get. I look for the sales stuff though. I would say the place is «romantic.»

Cute little store. Loved their collection. The service was welcoming. BUT mothers shopping with the young children be ware… They apparently have «no» restroom. I completely understand and respect no public restroom but really can’t stand when there’s no exception for a young potty training child. I walked out and away from a few items I had intentions to purchase when I was told «no» restroom. I feel so bad for the young ladies working there all day with an inability to use the restroom since they «don’t have one». Frustrating. Thank goodness for subway next door willing to make an exception to their «no public restroom» sign.

I’m a big fan of cutesy knick knacky stuff and romantical things for bedrooms and bathrooms and stuff. I also like affordable boutiquey handbags and accessories for self. I bought a really cute clutch in brown velvet with black «leather» trim and a clearanced scarf. Cute shoes and clothes too.

My friend walked through the store squealing and shouting in amazement. When I learned she had never even heard of Francesca’s, I felt dizzy — and it wasn’t my brunch cocktails.
Francesca’s is one of my favorite shops. Although they all carry the same merchandise, I was impressed by their stock of accessories. I ended up buying four pairs of earrings — and not just because of the Buy 1, Get 1 at 50% off sale. Sure, that was incentive, but I genuinely love all of what I purchased:
*Triangle shaped CZ studs
*Green and gold Brontosaurus studs
*Silver wired hoops with a leafy design
*Sparkly CZ and gold tone geometric earrings
The shiny gold business card holder caught my eye too, even though I have business cards but rarely have a reason to give them out.
I spent around $ 50 but left feeling richer. If you’re asking how or why, re-​read this review. The answer lies within BRONTOSAURUS.

Francesca’s is my favorite place to buy clothing.
For starters, the prices are so great! They have formal tops, dresses, skirts and pants for really reasonable prices. I also love shopping here because they have a large selection of times and only carry a few of each item, so you do not constantly see people wearing the same clothes as you.
When I wear items from here, I am constantly being complimented and asked where I got my clothes.
They also have great accessories, such as necklaces, bracelets, scarves and purses.
The quality of their clothes is also good. I have had a few items for a couple years now and they are still going strong!
Affordable and cute!

I love me some Francesca’s!
For a few dollars, they will make you HOLLA!
Great, cheap jewels
Great, cheap clothing
Great, cheap gifts
Great, cheap shoes
What’s not to love about grabbing some cutesy stuff?

I. LOVE. This. Store.
My closet is almost entirely filled with Francesca’s purchases. My friends have stopped asking me where I got my cute top/​dress/​earrings/​fill-​in-​the-​blank, because they know the answer.
Most tops are $ 30 – 40 and dresses are $ 40 – 50, so very cost effective. Jewelry ranges from $ 10 – 50, and they often have buy-​one get-​one-​half-​off or buy-​two-​get-​one-​free sales. This location tends to have a huge clothes selection, bigger than many that I’ve been to in the Chicagoland area.

This place is so dangerous for my wallet, which is why I don’t stop in very often. But I feel like since it’s down the street from work, and the staff is amazing, I will be visiting more often.
I wish I could remember the name of the 2 girls who helped me, but they were fantastic. I was in the market for a new purse, and haven’t bought one in forever. Mostly because I don’t ever carry one. I told them what I like and don’t like in purses, what color I want and how much I wanted to spend.
These girls literally found me the purse of my dreams! I absolutely love it, and get so many compliments on it.
I def. recommend this place to anyone searching for a gift for their self or for someone else. SO many cute clothes, shoes, and accessories.

I bought a brown leather purse here a few weeks ago. I was looking for something simple, classy, and that had detailing that made it look somewhat «expensive» without having to drop a grip of money. I was happy to find a perfect over-​the-​shoulder bag that had pretty details and gold zippers and embellishments. I think it cost around $ 75.00 which was exactly in the ballpark.
This store is full of cute trinkets, jewelry, gifts, and clothing that mom, sister, and your girlfriends would all love!

I love the girls that work here. This store is right around the corner from my apartment so I can’t even count how many times I’ve gone in there super last minute (store closing soon) and frantic to find something to wear for something i have going on that night. ALLLLL of the girls will raid their shelves to find you something that you are looking for. FAN TASTIC LADIES!
went into southport location the parking sucked and the store was so tiny and cramped. don’t attempt it

I purposely bought items to take home and try on and then return the next day due to lack of time to spend in a store during the holidays. Today i returned items and the girl behind the counter told me «Girl, you gotta try stuff on before you buy it.» I thought she should just mind her business. She proceeded to complain to her co workers about doing returns… then continued to complain about the holiday rush and store hours. No one wants to hear it my friend, you should not be complaining in front of customers. I won’t return to this store as I do not want to hear her whine again… I will be happy to shop at their other store on Southport where the girls are a lot less whiny.

I love shopping at this Francesca’s location! Every time I have shopped here, the women working have been nothing but helpful! The employees go above and beyond when it comes to customer service. The last time I was there, I explained I was looking for a dress to wear to a bridal shower and while the employee (forgot her name!) started a fitting room she also grabbed a few dresses she thought «would look cute on me». This was a relatively busy day and the fact that she took the time to do that really left an impression on me. I’ve always liked the clothes and the nick-​nacks at any Francesca’s location I have been to but I will definitely be making this my primary shopping location after the great customer service I was given. Keep up the good work!

I enjoy shopping at Francesca’s. The jewelry and clothing is perfect and well priced for both my professional and personal life. I recently visited this location and bought a shirt that I realized was damaged only after I got it home. (This was the first damaged item I’ve ever encountered from this chain.). I quickly called Jessica at this location who went out of her way to provide excellent customer service to hold and replace the item. I shop here often for the products and deals, but its customer service like Jessica’s that makes me feel especially good about shopping here and supporting this business. Kudos

I love Francesca’s. I’ve been to a few different locations and have always had a great experience.
I recently visited the Halsted location and I don’t think I’ll be coming back any time soon. My browsing experience was okay but no one offered to help me or to ask if I was looking for anything.
Checking out was extremely unpleasant. The girl ignored me for a couple minutes before checking out my items. When she did, she made a snide remark about what I was buying. I was certainly unimpressed. I had seen her be more than helpful to another customer earlier during my visit but she seemed as if she didn’t want to bother with me at all.
Leaving, a girl was very polite with saying, «Have a nice day,» with a cheery smile.
I love the store and its products, however I wouldn’t come back to this location because of the worker with a serious attitude.

«Jewelry Sale»
Ha. OK! Yes, it’s that easy… plus I’ve had friends tell me about all the lovely things they’ve found in Francesca’s. So I stopped in…
Unfortunately I didn’t find anything to purchase but the store was full of beautiful baubles. Bright colors, chunky chains, and all at totally reasonable prices (despite the sale). Loved their tall wood built in bookcases full of other accessories and bags. So many beauuutiful bags.
The rest of the store is full of plenty of pretty things, but many of them thin, flimsy feeling and small. No love for the size «L» girls apparently. Tis ok, I enjoyed my time wandering around anyway. Nice location too– easy spot to hop into when exploring Lincoln Park, Halsted and Armitage streets.

Caveat: I loathe shopping. I really, truly do. I try to get in & out of places lickety split. I went into Francesca’s because I saw they had scarves. I walked out with two dresses and less than $ 50 out of my pocket. Seriously. One is a sheer yellow number that’ll be great for a summer cover-​up or over a nude cami & skinny jeans. The other is a deep v-​neck blue number that fit perfectly.
& I didn’t even know I was in the Clearance section!
Also: the cashier was remarkably good-​spirited, despite how busy it was. We joked about using double-​sided tape or having a wardrobe malfunction. She looked at the dress & said, «Oh yeah. This would look super good on you.» The sale was already made & she said that.
I’ll be back … back to the Clearance section for some good buys!

My brain thinks I need a new outfit for a date.
/​/​/​Panic mode/​/​/​Crap. Where should I go after work quick?
Francesca’s!
Well, «quick» turned into an hour. And if you’ve ever been to a Francesca’s, you know that that’s a long time to spend in this tiny store. I really do like their clothes. No, the quality isn’t amazing. However, for about $ 40 you can find a cute dress. I did.
I know they are a chain, but I feel better shopping here, than Forever 21 or Express. Francesca’s seems a little more unique in terms of selection and style. I’d give them 5 stars, but a lot of their clothes fit weird on me. I have the patience to try lots of stuff on, but it’s frustrating when I adore something, but doesn’t fit right. *sigh*
Oh well, I still consider Francesca’s like a stylish older sister that lets me borrow her clothes. Me likey.

Francesca’s is one of those places where I can shop without any guilt. It’s a cute little boutique with really affordable prices. Almost everytime I’m in there, I walk out with something. Now, that’s dangerous, but in a good way I guess since it makes me a happier person after.
They have a cute collection of accessories that have vintage female designs on them. Totally 1960s and cool. Totally love them. I got one of the coin purses that says «If the shoe fits, buy it.» Just couldn’t resist.
Their dresses are really cute and are usually about $ 45. For some of the dresses, you can tell that the quality isn’t the best. However, for some of their dresses, you won’t even be able to tell if the quality wasn’t great. If you’re not going to be wearing them 10 years down the road, it doesn’t matter anyway. By the way, do people still keep their clothes for that long anyway? I’m very happy with my cute orange bolero jacket, tweed dress, and silk-​like dress that I got from here– all at affordable prices.
If you need a cocktail ring, a pair of earrings, or even a gift for your gal pal, you may find it at Francesca’s. And then, you will walk out of the store not only with a gift for your gal pal but also for yourself.

Francesca’s is a nice little boutique with lots of fun accessories and unique clothes.
It’s a tiny bit cramped in the front of the store, but other than that it’s set up nicely so you can easy take a quick look around. I’m not a fan of having to look through racks of clothing to see what’s in them, but the clothing selection is pretty small, so there isn’t much to look through.
They have lots of cute things, worth a peek every once in a while to see what new things are in.

Boutique accessories for non-​boutique prices.
Francesca’s is overflowing with fabulous glittery bits to spruce up your wardrobe. The necklaces, bracelets and earrings are literally pouring off the shelves and displays around this place. So much selection, and SO inexpensive. Most earrings are under $ 10 and huge, blinging necklaces are rarely over $ 30. Francesca’s is the perfect place to pick up a ton of fun jewelry that most people won’t have at a very budget price.
Forget the clothes here… seriously, I’ve never bought anything made of fabric. The eye-​catching accessories are where it’s at!
