Common Era

Another great find in our summer home of Denver, CO. The staff is snooty though, and after our last visit, it may have been our last visit. If they had a website where we could shop without having to deal with the staff, it might be better.

I love the clothes. Great selection, though a few things are made with cheap materials. I give them one star, because the staff is so rude. I have been there many times and every time it has felt very snobbish. Unfortunately, I’m done going there because of their attitude. I have never once received help or a greeting coming into the shop. If they had any customer service at all I would be a loyal customer, but sadly they can’t seem figure that out. Don’t even bother supporting a shop that can’t seem to make people feel good about being there.

Such a cool shop with a wide variety of reasonably priced clothes. The clothes are certainly indicative of the times, and also showcase a wide variety of styles. Boho chic? She’s there. Little house on the prairie? Yep. Serious business meeting girl? There’s probably a modest dress for you.
There m’a a no return policy, as well as a ‘no holding’ policy, which kind of irked my shopping heart, but then I realized I had a reason to return!
The layout is packed to the brim with clothes and really do feature every body part and style out there, while there jewelry and accessory line is just as impressive. Sure — the staff could stand to be more helpful and friendly, but the prices and variety make the shopping trip fun!

What a wonderful shopping experience! I told the owner about how I recently lost 45lbs, and had to buy a lot of new clothes, but was still hesitant about a lot of things (i.e. shorts). I left the store with multiple pairs of shorts, a leather skirt and feeling absolutely gorgeous! She made sure that I knew that I look stunning, and have the right to show it off.
The prices are so reasonable, far below what I would expect to pay, or usually pay, for similar items. Common Era made my vacation, Thank You!

Adorable shop. Great if your looking for those unique pieces. A little or of my normal budget range and most of the skirts and dresses would be way too short on me but the accessories are adorable. I got presents for a few people while I was there and I know they’ll love them

Fun place with great selection. Nothing is too pricey. It’s obvious the buyers are care and are good at what they do. Great place for gifts for the women in your life. The inventory is constantly changing so be sure to check it out when every your around

My daughter and I stopped in after tea last week when a pair of shoes in the window caught her eye. We were impressed with the selection of goods, and the prices seemed very reasonable! But, we felt very out of place. We weren’t greeted, there appeared to be a few folks in who were friends with the staff, and all of them seemed too busy to assist us. We will probably come back to give them a second try because the clothes are fantastic.

I’m kind of surprised CE only has 4 stars on average!
I’m a longtime customer, and it’s my go-​to place for (1) presents for female friends and family — they have a staggering collection of really stylish jewelry and accessories in all price ranges (including lots of $ 5 rings and earrings!) and (2) non-​boring professional clothes. The only danger is that it’s hard to go in and not wind up spending money.
Besides clothing and jewelry, they carry a decent selection of Seychelles shoes, a lot of nice slips, and colorful tights — kind of a lot for such a little boutique. The stock changes over really quickly. The clothing is appropriate for a lot of ages; my mom and my younger sister have an equally good time trying stuff on when I take them there.
Finally — several times I’ve been in while the owner was giving personal shopping advice by appointment — and I always think she does a good job.
And, I have not had any bad customer service experiences in several years of visiting regularly — my experience is usually that someone offers to start me a fitting room, offers to get sizes, and if I ask for help picking out a particular type of item, is super happy to do so.

Dropped by this cute little shop over the weekend while walking through the Highlands on a recent trip to Denver.
Great selection of cute, unique, and on-​trend dresses, tops and bottoms. They do a great job of putting outfits together too to give you some inspiration. Prices were very reasonable (most between $ 20-​$ 50) and the quality seemed solid too. I ended up getting a really unique printed summer dress for $ 40.
Large sale section in the back of the store. Wasn’t as impressed with the jewelry selection while I was in (lots of large, ultra-​sparkly, but they did have some cute accessories such as printed scarves, sunglasses, trendy hats and headbands. Small selection of cute shoes from lesser known brands as well as some from Seychelles.
Would be great if they added a chair for seating. My husband was waiting around for me as I looked around and tried stuff on in the dressing room; would have been great to have a place for him to sit.
Overall, great little shop and friendly customer service. Great find while on vacation — stop in if in the area!

This store is really cute! They have so many unique things. Whenever I’m going out for the night I come here to find a cute top or dress because I know I won’t see anybody out with the same thing on! The customer assistance here is great as well!

I really like this place and have gotten a dress here I wear constantly. I’ve also gotten a lot of jewelry as gifts for picky friends that ended up being perfect for them. I give it 3 stars instead of 4 only because I think sometimes they rely too much on rayon-​y cheap fabrics instead of more cotton/​etc., and that sometimes the same stuff is here forever before being rotated out. That said, I definitely think it’s a great place to scope out every couple of months for cool, inexpensive, interesting finds.

I found this store overwhelming and cluttered. Things looked cute, but the racks were overstuffed and too close together so it was hard to view merchandise at the same time as other customers. I got frustrated and left after doing a once over.

Hip, trendy, boho-​chic, natural, ladies clothing store. The clothes, shoes and accessories are very cute and doll like. You can find a cocktail attire, date night, work, and everyday clothing here. Shoes are in trend, wedges, low cut boots, platform, and plats. Accessories range from jewelry, purses, handmade fabric wallets, cute pill boxes, hats and hair pins. This small boutique is a mix of Urban Outfitters, Free People, and Anthropologie on a smaller store scale.
Sizes range from Small, Medium and Large. No XL sizes. This boutique is one, to stop by and check out! Cute clothes, excellent customer service, new stock every week.
Prices are moderate to expensive. Check out their sales rack in the back, you might be surprised to find what you need back there.
Reminder: if your short (I’m short, I’m 5’3), the dressing room doors are pretty high, so be careful changing, don’t bend down too much, you don’t want a free show, yikes!!!

Dear Lovers,
Common Era is confined within the boundaries of an adorable strip of small shops. After an endearing lunch, I suggest you take your date to Common Era to swoop up something cute. The store offers an array of items from clothing to jewelery. The prices are reasonable– for example, my beau bought me a pair of earrings that were $ 14, and they are my most complimented accessory.
Common Era is a great place for some simple yet spoiled shopping – for yourself or the one you adore. Check it out!

Common Era was my go to this year for Xmas gifts. They have so many unique and affordable jewelry pieces that were perfect for the ladies in my life. They are also more than happy to wrap up your gifts in festive tissue paper and a cute box. I somehow resisted grabbing dresses and sweaters for myself and went home with just my gifts.
Then on Xmas eve I was frantically searching through my closet for a pleasing outfit, but there was nothing to be found. I know, such a cliché female dilemma. To my surprise I discovered a blouse that I purchased at Common Era last year. I had completely forgotten about it, but it turned out to be half of the the perfect outfit for that night. Thanks for coming to the rescue CE!

When you reach that point where you just don’t want to wear some run-​of-​the-​mill mall store outfit… go here! It may fool you, some of the near-​by boutiques are pricey and unreasonable, but Common Era is reasonably priced with good quality.
I love that there aren’t too many options and that every piece is quirky and unique, like it was hand picked over 10 other pieces for its cuteness factor.
I buy at least a pair of earrings from here each time I get paid. At $ 5 to $ 12 a pair, I can afford for a pair for every outfit. As summer arrives, I’m loving the lightweight dresses that you can dress up or dress down. If you ever need a little oomph! for any reason (like to quell some doubt before a blind date) Common Era will definitely kick any thoughts of «blah» right out of your head. My date didn’t know what hit him.
Bottom Line: FAB-​U-​LOUS!

WOWZA!
Thanks to all those Unilocaler’s out there. Finally got to get out of the apartment and venture out to some of those great places I have book marked.
This place has great clothes, gloves, purses, jeans, and did I mention the jewelry — AMAAAAZING!
The staff was great and very helpful. Once I started a collection of garments a king woman started a dressing room for me. I ended up walking out with two super unique and one-​of-​a-​kind tops and a pair of earrings.
The jewelry was all soo different. I loved the variety and the fact that no one else will have a pair of earrings like mine. That may make me selfish — but who cares, I want it and I don’t want anyone else to have it! LOL.
Go check this place out. Prices are totally reasonable at $ 5-​$ 15 for earrings, $ 20-​$ 40 for nice tops, and can go up from there depending on the purchase.
Let the Unilocaling continue…

OooooOOO DANGER.
I almost did not go into this place because it LOOKED as though it was out of my non-​profit-​slave budget. But lo and behold, I went in to find that not only were things within my price range (super unique jewelry for $ 5-​$ 12) but that the things in there were… ridiculously… cute.
They have dresses that are unlike anything you’d find anywhere else, for $ 40! And trendy sunglasses for the reasonable, intuitive price of $ 12. Their purses, clutches, and shoes were also very solid.
Now, with Buffalo Exchange charging the same price for USED goods, I think it’s worth your time to head over here and get something both pretty, affordable, and new. Plus, they’re local!
They also allowed my dog to come in, which I love. Dog likes purses.

Thank you Tiffany C for introducing me to this personality-​packed boutique on Platte street! I’ve been twice in the past few weeks, as I was totally tempted by the groovy sunglasses, eye-​catching jewelry and bags, and of course the clothes. I spent at least an hour in the dressing room at Common Era, although I left empty handed. This is no fault of theirs, as I’m über critical about how everything looks on me these days. However, rest assured there is plenty to choose from here — a mixture of upscale hipster and classic pieces. Check the back of the store for sale racks, and the last time I was in there were lots of shoes and accessories on sale. This spot is definitely worth a drop in.
Note: Dressing rooms are totally spacious — no claustrophobia here! And did I mention, the prices are totally reasonable?

Easy to navigate store on Platte St. (just a bit east of 15^th and Platte and across the street from Vitamin Cottage). Any Denver female would be amazed with the selection of cute, reasonably priced clothing. Instead of going to the mall for another run-​of-​the-​mill cocktail/​party/​club dress, stop in here for a unique (and cheaper, quality) dress.
The employee working there was nice, but left me alone to shop freely, which I like. Most items were $ 20 – 40, which I can get on board with.
Everything was well organized and easy to browse. Common Era also has a small selection of shoes in the back of the store with brands I’ve never seen in stores (like Seychelles). The jewelry is one of a kind, and every pair of earrings was $ 10 or less, which is a great deal for unique, long lasting jewels.
You’ll definitely have people asking you where you got your clothes (I always lie when people ask me that question, but that’s just me).
Another fact worth mentioning is that this is the little store; the big store is up in Boulder, so if you can’t find anything you like here, drive or take the bus up to B-​town for some amazing clothing.
