Istina

For years Istina has been my favorite boutique in Seattle. The clothing is unique, stylish, some lines edgy/​funky/​fun, always comfortable and incredibly well priced — especially considering the high quality lines they carry, many from Europe. The jewelry is extraordinarily cool (including one-​of-​a-​kind pieces by local artists) and then there’s the fabulous accessories… scarves, belts, socks, handbags, watches and shoes. Perhaps the best part of shopping at Istina is the personalized care you receive. Whether you’re shopping in the Madison Valley store or Kirkland, you’ll become family. And when you return (and you will… again and again!), you and your tastes will be remembered! Watch the personalized shopping experience go from great to beyond outstanding with every visit as your style becomes «known» to the wonderfully thoughtful and creative women who work there. And don’t be surprised if you get a phone call now and then to invite you to come by the shop because something fabulous that «has your name all over it» just arrived. I should mention that the owner is also a clothing designer so there’s original garments at Istina you won’t find anywhere else!
