Arttie Clothing Store in Austin, Texas: A Review
9600 IH 35 S. Bldg. G. Ste. 200, Austin, TX 78748

Although Arttie's clothing is much like Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 the clothing style is slightly geared towards a better dressed crowd, but still fairly trendy. There are teenagers that shop there but for the most part the women tend to be in their early twenties to mid-thirties. Arttie's clothing and accessories offers better quality as well.
I recently stopped into Arttie's to check out what sort of clothing they had to offer and for what price range. I was surprised at the quality and the price. I went in there expecting the clothing to be much like what I'd be able to find at Charlotte Russe or Forever 21 and at first glance it did look like that. Upon a closer look I noticed that the stitching quality and material used were better than Charlotte Russe or Forever 21. Everything in the store looked like it was hand picked for style and quality by the owner.
What I love about Arttie's was their selection of dresses. The store sells casual wear but the dresses they offer can easily be worn out to a nice restaurant. They also offer a selection of nice work separates too. I tried on about seven dresses and they all fit my body nicely. Usually with off the rack items I have a hard time finding dresses that fit me perfectly unless I go to a pricier place like J. Crew or Banana Republic. All of their clothing looked well made, I didn't see an item in there that looked cheap. Which brings me to the price.
I was very surprised at the prices I found at Arttie's. I was expecting their clothing to be fairly expensive but overall they were moderately price, still affordable considering the quality. Most of their dresses were in the mid thirties to $50 range. Their bags were price about the same as their dresses, and their casual tops and tees were pretty standard starting around $6 to $30.
The only disappointing thing about Arttie was their shoe collection. I went in there and there was a very small area for shoes, not much to look at or choose from. I think Arttie is a great store to get quality items for a good price. It's become my new go-to place to find fun, flirty, unique dresses.

Post a CommentI just shopped today at Arttie & I fell in love just the same way I did when I walked into Forever21. I'm 17 & I've been going to SouthPark Meadows over a year now & today is the first time I see this place. I hate the fact that I've never seen this place before :( ..Where are the ads for this store?!
I am from Pennsylvania and visit family that lives very close to there. This summer when I was visiting I happened to stop in there and instantly fell in love. I only WISH they had a website to order from since up my way, we have nothing that compares to the quality/price (we have forever 21, but as said in the review, the quality is MUCH better at Artties). We do visit once a year and this year I plan to leave an ample amount of room in my suitcase so I can stock up before returning home!!
i love the clothing that the store carries it is really pretty,the store itself is really clean the staff members are really nice(southpark meadows)keep up the good work ya'll..
I think like any retail place it varies. You'll have sales people who know what customer service should be, and then you get those that hate their job and wants to make everyone else miserable with them.
I really love all of the clothes but have to agree with Chell. I walked by a sales girl and she gave me a mean look. But, a different sales girl was super nice and even let me try on an article of clothing before it went on the rack. Overall, I liked the store.
This store is great and has wonderful clothing. The customer service isnt bad though. I'm not about Cedar Park, but the service in SouthPark Meadows is great and all the employee's are very nice.
I would have to disagree with Chells statement. I have been to the Cedar Park location several times and thier customer service was always impecable. It seemed as though everytime i had a question they would ask me if i needed help finding somthing. i have heard good things about the location in south meadows but havent visited there yet.
The clothes are cute and the prices are good. But the customer services at the Cedar Park store is horrible. From management to the sales girls.They all seem so sad or just not happy to be there. They don't smile or greet the customers. You can't tell if they are a customer or if they work there. Cedar Park Store step it up. Good and proper services brings customers.
There is actually an Arttie in Cedar Park as well that opened last month. I too love it%2C but you should be warned to check the stitching on the clothing. I have had two tops that i have bought there that have had little holes in them at the seams. But for the most part it%27s a fabulous store with brand names that they sell at Nordstrom%27s and other boutiques around Austin.
