“I love the selection of cloth used in the clothes. Breathable and comfortable. The staff know their stock inside and out and make helpful suggestions. Attentive, not over bearing. My FAVORITE place in Iowa City for contemporary clothing and a super purse selection.”
“Velvet Coat is my favorite place to splurge in Iowa City. The staff are very friendly and inviting; sometimes "upscale" places can be intimidating but the atmosphere is unpretentious. If you want to spoil yourself or someone you love, Velvet Coat will not disappoint.”
“Marna was extremely helpful during my shopping experience, even stayed longer to help, as I didn't know they closed at 4. Love my clothes, too-- going back to get a few doubles in my favorite shorts. Glad I went, and caught some sales!”
“I love this store. There's a nice variety of upscale and more affordable pieces, as well as adorable accessories. Plus it's right down town. Don't miss this stop!”
“Selling a mix of used and new clothes, this is a trendy downtown thrift shop. There are some good finds, although some items are overpriced so you have to know what you're looking for. Everything is neatly organized on racks and has been individually priced, so there's no outright steals, but there's some fair prices and most items, even used, are of good quality. Every once in a while an item will slip through the cracks, so you do still need to have somewhat of an eye for thrifting.Also, there's a sign that says that you need to leave your bags at the front to prevent theft but the majority of the college kids working there absolutely do not care, so it's usually unnecessary to follow that instruction.Staff primarily white college-aged women, patrons primarily white female college students. "Alternative looks" clothing styles available but limited. Primarily college fashion.”
“Catherines has become one of my top online shopping destinations. I am constantly impressed with the selection and amazing sales. I also love the emails that they send out. I’ve had great experiences with everyone I’ve chatted with on the phone/ email. If you are in this area I highly recommend going here, I wish that I could !!!”

“The quintessential place to stop for Iowa City/Iowa swag. To me, Raygun can do no wrong. I found the Iowa City location to be well-stocked. Employees were friendly. Reasonable prices -- like those less than $2 cork coasters -- I have many. If you're in the area for a while and want to see even more of what Raygun has to offer, check out the Cedar Rapids location. Definitely recommend.”
