Raymond Lawrence

this is my favorite shop to visit when i am in palm springs. well, maybe «was» my favorite. i’ll explain later.
all the little pop up shops within the space are filled with eclectic offerings, and there really is something for everyone: men’s and women’s clothing, toiletries, housewares, toys, books/​magazines, party favors… i could easily spend a lot of money here.
having moved to the river, it is significantly farther away from downtown palm springs, which is where i usually stay and spend most of my time.
i visited the new space, which is large and spacious, and they’ve added new labels/​stores.
i used to love popping into the old location while spending an afternoon shopping up and down the street. now, i would have to drive a long way to visit the store and sadly i will probably be going there much less since there really isn’t another draw for me at the river.

Love love love love love! Moving to the River in Rancho Mirage and they will have more amazing stuff! Can’t wait!!! Amazing fun store with the greatest employees who love their jobs! Plan to spend a long time, this is not a store, it’s an adventure. I also heard the new place will have coffee ! Best store in entire Desert. Unique and Creative. Can’t wait!

This shop is so fun! They use the space so well, and it feels huge, full of great finds. The displays are so creative and fresh– it’s artfully inspire to some degree. I could easily spend all my money here, especially because they are a bit pricey. The staff is great– really good service. Overall, the products are so trendy and cute! Can’t wait to come back with a budget. Lol.

This store used to sell an eclectic mix of retro and modern items and was always a destination shop during our frequent weekend getaways to Palm Springs. Unfortunately, during our last visit, we were disheartened to see that the shop has taken a downward turn in its choice of featured items. There used to be a pleasant flow that took you from one space to the next — that doesn’t exist now (think Bazaar). They’ve added a «Party Lab» in the back of the store that, in my opinion, cheapens the overall experience. In no way is this a review of the staff — they’ve always been SUPER nice — but rather just an opinion in the direction in which the shop seems to be heading.

First of all want to say what FABULOUS service!!! Raymond went ABOVE and BEYOND to help me receive a wonderful Christmas gift in time to present to my son and it all worked out perfectly. He was concerned it might not reach me in time so didn’t want to chance the mail and practically hand delivered it 2 hours away and on Christmas Eve!!! And I know it was NOT about the money because it was a (very) modest sum I spent. I will always shop David Lawrence’s store which has the coolest, creative, innovative items one can imagine but as said before he had me at service! Thank You Raymond!

Omg so much colour, so much fun. Stayed at the saguaro and they have a mini shoppe there and the sales gal let me know they had a flagship store here. So there I went. The sales guy who had recently moved here from some Midwest state was so awesome.
They had many items I have already but others I need to add to my collection. Can’t wait to go back next month.

This is my favorite shop in Palm Springs and possibly my favorite in Southern California.
To clarify: I am not a big shopper. I go on trips to Europe and return with nothing.
But for some reason, I never leave Raymond Lawrence without at least one or two purchases.
This store is just plain fun! I love the colorful and creative housewares. I have purchased several awesome salad bowls that are total hits as birthday and holiday gifts. I also treasure the nesting platters in mod shapes and colors on which I serve appetizers.
Raymond Lawrence also specializes in Palm Springs memorabilia, from tee shirts to towels to mugs. The style is exactly what you would expect: retro fabulous. The aqua serving platter I purchased last summer looks perfect next to my Shag prints and a copy of «Atomic Ranch.»
I love the range of price points offered at this store. Sure, there are $ 200 pillows and $ 500 chairs for kids, but there are also really cute atomic age Christmas ornaments and affordable jewelry.
The managers working the store are wonderful. They are always available to help and suggest terrific ideas, but they never seem pushy. They wrap each item with care upon check out and are consistently friendly.
To the critics raising their eyebrows at the price tags: these products are quality. Yes, you can find cheaper products at Target. If that is what you want, please go there. Many of these products are handmade, made of sustainable materials, made by artisans in Europe. They last. Completely worth it.
My only problem: I want to buy about 80% of what I see on the shelves. Whoever is putting together this collection is doing a fine job.

This place is the BOMB!!!
Their inventory is seriously off the chain, ridiculous!
Not only do they offer the most amazingly chic and on trend clothing, but remarkable house ware, gifts, kitsch, RAW & ORGANIC beauty and skin care, hats, art, sunglasses, and MORE!
It’s, like, 20 mini-​stores under one roof; THE BEST IDEA EVER!
Wes, who is a manager there, personally gave me and my man a tour and helped us shop. It was a divine experience and I didn’t want to leave. You think they’d let me live there If I sweep the floors?
Basically, if you like SEXY guys’ clothes, conscious garb for the ladies, super HOT bathing suits, raw and organic skincare, FUN kitchen accessories, amazing art and home décor, and meaningful and eccentric gifts, this store is for you! You will NOT leave empty handed if you step inside, so get that debit card ready!
Enjoyyyyy!

This is one of those spots where I walk in and think — «One day, my house will look like this.»
This store is beautiful. Each section is meticulously designed to fit the wares it is showcasing and the result is a beautiful little jaunt through a series of things Jody can’t afford. From clothing to furniture, I left this place with an aching realization that other people’s houses are far cooler than my own.
But don’t let the high price tags fool you — between the $ 200 watercolor silk tops and $ 150 throw pillows, lies a world that 20 somethings can partake in. For one, they have some of the most hilarious cards you will ever find — from wildly inappropriate letterpress to sock puppets, there’s a lot on this card wall that will catch your eye.
Had I had room in the luggage, I would have happily taken home one of the vintage inspired cherry bathing suits and a refurbished retro lamp for $ 60. I might even have talked myself into the very rad overnight bags made of recycled sail material. Needless to say, it’s a very good thing for my bank account that this place doesn’t reside in Vancouver.
Nestled in the art district of Palm Springs, this is definitely a spot worth exploring. Grab a few brunch cocktails down the street and then pop in here and imagine your fancy/​quirky future home.

Think Fred Segal’s. This store is a hodge podge of clothing, home accessories, skin care and random crap.
Everything you could want and not need is located here. Unfortunately everything is waaaaay overpriced. $ 200 cotton dresses, $ 50 bath scrubs. Yeesh. The stuff is darn cute, not gonna lie, but just really really pricey.
It’s fun to look at all the acrylic items for your home, cute and unqiue kitchen accessories, the humorous coffee table books and such; but that’s about it for me here.

What I love about this store is it’s almost like several boutiques in one… clothing (men’s and women’s), accessories, home furnishings, you name it… they’ve got it. Always something new and different to see here.
If you are into acrylic, they have a variety of home accessories… they can even do an acrylic reproduction of your house if you bring them a picture (fun!).
Always had a positive experience here and make sure it’s part of my annual Palm Springs shopping excursion.

Wow what a find. I can’t believe I live here in Palm Springs and have never been here. Fun, Fun and More fun. I purchased some fun things for my home and got myself a sweet bathing suit too. Everybody was very helpful and professional. Now when my company starts to smell like fish, i have a place escape. Maybe I will take them too. Love it!

What’s not to love in this store? Everything in the store is so unique and things I have never seen anywhere. The staff is just over the top helpful!!!

It breaks my heart to write this review. I rate it 1 star based on customer service rather than items in the store. We have a house in Palm Springs so we are down there once a month. Every time we are down there we go to Raymond Lawrence.
I decided to redecorate my office a few months ago. I went to Raymond Lawrence to stock up on colorful acrylic items. I custom ordered a frame. They told me 2 weeks. I told them no rush as I wouldn’t be down for another month.
Next month I am down there and go to pick up the frame. The manager Carmen tells me that they were too busy and never got to my order. O.K. These things happen. She tells me it will be made that week and will be delivered to my by the end of the week.
3 weeks come and go and no frame. I call the store. They know nothing about it. I leave a message for Carmen and still no return call. No I have to dispute the charge with my credit card. It is sad that a $ 85 frame has cost them my business as well as all my guests who come and visit.
Shame on a manager who doesn’t deliver what she has promised or return phone calls. This is a great store but clearly customer service is not important.

Fun shop in the Uptown Design District– innovative creative use of everything acrylic… decorative pillows, plus a whole lot more. The staff is super friendly as well, and great at suggesting custom design options for your home. Worth a visit.
