Charming Charlie – Minneapolis

This is a dangerous store, even for non-​shoppers like myself.
I visited the store because my daughter was looking for some jewelry/​accessories to go with a party outfit she was finishing.
While I won’t admit to being a magpie, I do like sparkly things, and this store has them in a range of styles and prices. Unfortunately, I spent nearly $ 80 that I was’t planning on spending in the store. I don’t regret the purchases and I’m glad I could stop myself when I did. Due to the excellent sale they had going on, my things were a lot less expensive than they otherwise would have been.
The staff is young, so you might not get the full attention you desire if you like employee-​led shopping. If you like to wander about and make your choices alone this store is perfect for such browsing.
If you happen to find yourself at the West End shops and want to go someplace that has a different feel, stop in. Don’t go alone, though, you won’t have anyone to help you stop shopping.

If your are looking to sell Charming Charlie is the place to go. Whether it is old or new gold, diamonds, estate jewelry and watches they bought every piece of jewelry from me and my family. Highly rated place.

Charming Charlie is a great store for all things to help you accessorize. It is all color organized, so if you know what you are looking for, it’s very helpful. I typically will browse the whole store briefly to see what’s available. This store has very simple pieces to very gaudy mostly below $ 30. Personally, I am not into the very popular large, bright and fake jeweled necklaces. So, I head to the back of the store to look through all the clearance pieces. These are pretty reasonably marked down. It would be possible to put together an entire outfit here.

Ive heard about this store from my WI friends and I was stocked to find out we have one in my hood.
Its huge, bright, clean and color coded. For OCD people this is heaven. For me it is an overload of cute stuff I want, absolutely need and can actually afford. I doubt you will find things that you will wear for years here, but if you need something on trend and on the budget, its here. Clearance is buy one get one free. They also have shoes, clothes, purses and scarfs and tiaras and crowns (and you know you need a new crown). A few months ago I was looking for a crown, wish I knew about this place.
Customer service was not really there, just at the register, but I kinda of like it, as I was left to browse on my own.

I love this store! I have never heard of Charming Charlie before it was put into West End. I live really close to there and go to the movie theater that is in the West End mall also. Since the first time I checked it out, I have been hooked. This is the place to go to for jewelry, accessories, shoes and even clothes. Their prices are very reasonable and on top of that they have sales quite often. Many times I have been in there, the clearance area has been buy one get one free. Their merchandise is organized by color which I really like. This store is fairly big and has a big selection. The staff is very friendly. They will greet you when you come in but they won’t bother you as you are browsing. They also try answer questions the best they can. The atmosphere here is so bright and happy. It is definitely a place every girl should go to. There is nothing in this store for guys. They do have a section of the store that is for little girls which looks like fun too. Make sure you have enough time to browse all the areas in this store. There is lots to keep you busy.

I love this place and their jewelry! I love that its color coded so if you are in need of a color in a hurry, the store has that section for you! Their clothes selection is cute too!

This is a great store!
I love it’s color coded! You can find great trendy accessories for a reasonable price.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Awesome jewelry and not expensive at all. Great, trendy pieces and even some cool clothes and shoes in the mix.
I love how everything is arranged by color for clothes and finish for jewelry. Seriously, go check it out.

This place is great for soooo many reasons. Everything is cheap, it’s crazy organized by color and you’ll almost always fine the perfect accessory. Plus, most everything I buy here has lasted me forever. The down side is that I can be a cheapskate when it comes to some jewelry.

When this store opened at the West End in SLP, it couldn’t have come at a better time… we all needed something fun and colorful to get us out of the recession blues! I love how CC groups the mdse by color /​theme. You walk in and instantly you feel uplifted and happy! The salespeople aren’t pushy AT ALL; they say «Hi» and then leave you alone… yeah! They have such fantastic clearances in which at one point they will have the clearance for $ 1 apiece. The regular prices are reasonable to begin with, so the clearance is just an added bonus. One thing I noticed is that their Girls section is lacking in a good selection of earrings for girls… they have lots of the typical stuff you can find at Claire’s but just a fraction of the earrings. Even if you don’t have the $ to spend, just go in there and browse… you will feel happier when you leave; it’s like an adult’s version of Candyland!

Yep, 5 stars baby. This is my happy place. This is where I go when I’ve had a bad day, when people suck, and when I just want a pretty new purse or piece of jewelry.
Prices are incredibly reasonable, which is why I have 5 purses from there all purchased within a 5 month span. I simply cannot control myself. I am keeping someone’s bills paid over there at corporate.
Also, you want a red purse? Oh no problem, head to the color coordinated red section and find everything you could possibly want. Purple, gold, pink, teal, brown, black, pastel, peach, orange, yellow, and colors I never knew existed are all available at your fingertips.
I usually walk the store about 4 – 5 times before I decide I can purchase my items and leave. Sometimes I wonder if people notice that I am circling the same sections multiple times, but that’s ok. I am fine with appearing like a crazy person.
They also recently started selling really adorable clothing, which I’ve had to control myself and limit my visits to accessories only for now. One day I can make the leap to clothing.
One hint of advice: men will not enjoy their time in this store.
Happy shopping!
