If you saw our feature on Mint by Sandpiper a couple of weeks ago, then you might be familiar with their sister shop and original boutique Sandpiper. Sandpiper has been around for 30 years in the heart of Vinings proving to be an Atlanta fashion staple. "We pride ourselves on being the 'go to' spot for in the know, fashion savvy Atlantans," says Kyle Murphy, a sales specialist of Sandpiper. Finding the best of the best from New York fashion, this boutique brings Atlanta contemporary clothing options for the fashionably trendy.
Sandpiper sells a slew of designer brands such as Rachel Zoe, Mara Hoffman, Rebecca Taylor and DL1961. Its bestsellers are Tibi and Milly, and the boutique has a great selection of both brands. From denim to date-night options to brunch outfits, the range is superb. Several of the boutique's items can be seen on celebrities and are highly sought after. Sandpiper's prices are standard for contemporary items, ranging from $150 to $700. It also sells some local jewelry designers such as Keisha Noel, Lisa George and Isobel.
Known for their great customer service, it's no wonder Sandpiper has been around for 30 years. If you have an item in mind that you are looking for, let a sales specialist know. You can be put on a list and notified when a similar item comes in. In addition, you can shop their Instagram. If you see an item you fancy on their feed, call them up, put it on hold, and head to the store to pick it up. "Fashion can be intimidating, and it is so important for us to create an inviting, laid back environment that encourages women to try new things and channel their inner fashionistas," says Murphy.
Who shops at Sandpiper? "We have some families where three generations of women can all shop with us," says Murphy. From teenagers to grandmothers, you can shop at Sandpiper. The beauty about contemporary clothing is that it can work for all ages. It's all in how you accessorize the items. The boutique sells everything for your fashion needs; clothing, shoes and jewelry. You can dress things up or down to your liking and style. Since new items come in daily, you will be sure to find something new and fresh.
Check out their site to find specials that range from month to month. For the month of June, you receive 10 percent off one item, 20 percent off two items and 30 percent off three items (some items not included). Each month varies. There may be specials on particular items, such as discounts on dresses or an overall discount on selected items. In addition, if you are looking for the same brands but at a discount you can head to their sister store Mint by Sandpiper. It offers year-round discounts with over 50 percent off retail prices from items they moved from Sandpiper.
Look out for the Boutique Bargains Warehouse Sale they put on twice a year in January and July. This year it is July 22-23. Several boutiques in Atlanta come together and sell clothing for this end of season discount event. You can find the same designers you will find in the stores, but at a fraction of the cost. This is the go-to sale event which introduces you to several Atlanta boutiques and you can take home a lot of items.
