Great quality items, and picking up my order was fast and easy! Definitely check this place out if you're looking for Philly-themed gifts.
Outstanding customer service. I called wondering if my order would be here by Christmas, even though the kind woman on the phone couldn’t guarantee my order would be here, she did the best she could do talk me through my holiday stress shopping and after asking what she would do if she were me, I placed my order in hopes it will be here by the holiday. I received my confirmation email and not even 20 minutes later received notice that my order was shipped out. Even if my order doesn’t get here by Christmas, I know that Philadelphia Independents does their best to make their customers, like me, happy:) Thank you very much for your kindness and humanity. Will be placing many many more orders with them:) Happy New year to all at Philadelphia Independents!
This is my go-to place for gifts for loved ones! I’ve gotten multiple candles here and every single person I’ve given them to says they loved it. They support and sell small artists work, so I love knowing I’m supporting small businesses by purchasing items here.
I didn't enjoy my shopping experience there, albeit their cute inventory. We were monitored the whole time (they were just watching us without talking), and were even denied opening and seeing a tea towel's full pattern when we asked. We were very polite and respectful during our short visit (and we DID purchase things from them at the end), so their hostility and unwelcoming attitude might very much be racially charged. We did not do anything—other than existing—to deserve that kind of treatment. As a person of color, I didn't feel safe at Philadelphia Independents and would not recommend any minority groups to go.
Came in with my toddler and husband to get a Philly shirt on a nice day- no other customers, we were not being loud or irritating in anyway that I can reflect on but there was no greeting or even smile from the woman working- I complimented her store and she mumbled something to me, I bought a shirt and left feeling really uncomfortable and unwelcome. Now reading the reviews I’m not sure why it’s so difficult for her to pretend to be nice to customers over the years unless she wants her signature to be being known as the ‘rude gift shop lady?’ I felt bad that day and brushed it off thinking maybe she was having personal issues but seems to be a pattern! Too bad.
This place has great stuff! Some very creative interpretations of classic and modern Philadelphia icons on quality merch. The downside is that the lady who runs it is really kind of rude. The uniqueness of their offerings definitely makes it worth dealing with it though. Would have been a solid 5 stars, but the interaction with the lady behind the counter was less than desirable. Again though, they have unique, high quality inventory that is worth your business. 😉
Nice eclectic selection of artisan crafts and philadelphia themed souvenirs. A bit pricey, but some unique pieces great for gift- giving.
Superfun store stocked with great finds all from local Philly designers. Run by women who are equally fun and fascinating. Required stop for any gifting needs.
