December Thieves is an absolute gem of a store -- but what makes it truly unique and wonderful for me are the private shopping appointments.
While I love beautiful things -- jewelry, fabrics, clothes -- I have a very difficult time shopping for clothes for myself. I have spent too many years trying to make myself fit into images created by fast fashion brands and finally realized that I couldn't do that anymore.
I had shopped at December Thieves before and found pieces that I loved -- so when I saw that I could book an hour to explore what clothing would make me feel most like myself -- most magical -- when I wear it, I decided to go for it.
If you are considering a shopping appointment -- please do it. If something didn't work for me, I just set it aside until I found something that made me feel amazing (that ended up being two blouses and a dramatic split skirt). The team at December Thieves was so skilled in making sure the experience was positive and was totally invested in making it about what I loved and what felt good on me. I am so truly thankful for that.
I have worn the outfits I bought in September multiple times now and every time I wear them I feel powerful and magical! I hope the same for everyone!

December Thieves is that rare find of beauty, artistry, and excellence. I wish I had discovered them decades ago. The owner, Lana’s, curation and brilliant entrepreneurship reveals itself in her keenly vetted selections, high quality craftsmanship, and utterly unique designs, all while beautifully supporting emerging and exciting new designers while deeply supporting her community. Her staff, composed of Jemesii and Brick, are a pure delight, deeply knowledgeable, and simply wonderful human beings.
December Thieves goes above and beyond other boutiques with their gorgeous photography, videography, highly detailed product descriptions, and inclusion of fascinating designer bios all at an extremely reasonable price-point and generous shipping policy. I cherish my growing collection and know I will enjoy these treasures for decades. Lucky lucky you if you score one of their offerings, for their small-batch artisan approach means these gems get snatched up quickly. Enjoy!

I found this shop on Instagram and was so drawn in by their unique and stylish items. I made and order right away and was thrilled with my purchase. Recently I blind bought a fragrance which is so beautiful in concept and a sent unlike anything I own I turned right around and bought a different fragrance, eager to experience more of these distinctive sent stories. What impresses me so much about this shop is not only how quickly I receive the packages but each, no matter the item, is beautifully wrapped and includes a personalized thank you note from the team. The curation, care and personal touches really translate into everything they do and even though I can’t visit this shop in person I feel just as valued as an in person customer.

Unfortunately, the receipt of my order was problematic due to UPS related handling / delivery issues. However, December Thieves management promptly addressed and resolved UPS failure to process and deliver my package. Fortunately, I received my significantly delayed order immediately following December Thieves proactive actions. I highly commend management for their professional, personable, and quality customer service (which of course, is vital to maintaining established customers, cultivating new ones, and increasing business productivity and revenue).

This is my go-to shop in Boston for unusual (not mass produced) gifts, whether it be home goods or clothing. The staff is knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. If you want the truly unique and special item, this is where you need to go!

My daughters and I traveled to Boston from Alabama on our way to Martha’s Vineyard. The XV Beacon where we stayed offered car service so we had them drop us off on Charles Street (our driver’s suggestion!). We set out going in and out of all the cute shops but we were awestruck by December Thieves windows! So we went in to shop and did not leave empty-handed! It would be impossible to! Their designers are so forward, all the pieces are beautiful and unique. Great shoes, great jewelry and fun and funky accessories (a lacquered tray is next on my purchase list). I bought a long flowy black dress by a Russian designer that is out of this world fabulous! I can hardly wait to wear it. The sister store is as wonderful-the home goods and accessories are way a cut above your typical gift shop. My daughter bought a straw backpack tote with leather straps that is lightweight and great looking on. I bought several fragrances and a wonderful travel size lavender hand sanitizer. YOU MUST have something gift wrapped too. Another cut above! So glad I can continue shopping these two stores online! I wish I had taken a photo of the windows-you must see for yourself though! So go!!!!!

I bought a beautiful pair of earrings that were featured in the Sunday Boston Globe. I ordered them that same night and, amazingly, they were delivered north of Boston on Tuesday. What fantastic service!

Love aesthetic of the store, both Next Door and original. Clothing is unique and always helped by friendly face knowledgable of each item. The aesthetic is very shapeless, leaning toward gender neutral or void of gender binary (like other stores in Boston). Like to see more racial and gender diversity in staff once things begin to smooth out (i.e. more casual spending).

I rarely shop, but an outfit in the window of December Thieves caught my eye when I was passing by. I reached out by email and Jemesii responded immediately and sent photos and ended up facilitating a totally online purchase. It was easy and I loved visiting the boutique for the first time when I came in to try it on and pick it up. Jemesii's assistance throughout was amazing -- I can't wait to drop in again sometime. I get lots of compliments on the blouse I bought; people literally stop me on the street to ask where it is from. Thanks!
