Lotte Boutique is a really cute little Korean clothing and accessories boutique in Annandale, VA, offering an authentic Korean style and aesthetic. The shop features a variety of items, including pretty leather handbags in a variety of colors and styles that are more unique than those found at typical retailers. The clothing includes intentionally loose blouses with pretty involved and sparkly patterns, beautiful flowy skirts of very good quality that are delicately made, modest, and beautifully worked, and lovely little tulle scarves in a variety of colors. They also have stylish tennis shoes, attractive handbags, and a variety of shoes, including bold kitten heels and comfortable daily formal shoes. The shopkeeper is very attentive, friendly, and super helpful, constantly checking on customers and bringing them tops and bottoms based on their selections. This strategy is appreciated by customers who want a little encouragement and pampering. The shopkeeper is known to give discounts, especially to first-time visitors, and customers can sometimes barter a bit. The items can be a bit pricey, but the quality is good. The boutique also carries authentic Korean bedding and some designer-inspired items. The store is thoughtfully arranged, with items like handbags and shoes displayed in the fitting room to catch the eye. It provides an experience akin to shopping in Korea, with prices displayed in USD. There is something for everyone here, from beautiful clothing and accessories to unique finds. The shopkeeper is eager to attract more visitors who aren't Korean and hopes to make customers into repeat visitors. It is a ladies' small shop where customers are likely to be asked where they found their purchase.
