I just found Tigress, I was blown away. So cute. Amazing selection of sustainable fashion and artisan gifts. I bought a dress , shirt, pants and earrings. The next week I took consignment ! I am so excited to share a wonderful review for this shop.

Tigress is a beautiful local shop filled with sustainable clothing, handmade jewelry, ceramics, and artwork, among many other things! Everything feels thoughtfully curated, and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. It’s the perfect place to find a gift (or a gift card if you can't decide on just one thing!) or something special for yourself — all while supporting ecologically sustainabile goods from our city of Durham to small businesses from all corners of the world.

Super cute shop featuring a selection of sustainable fashion and gifts. They even have a rack of second hand items which is awesome. Items tend to be pricier, which comes with the territory of sustainable products. There are stairs that lead to the entrance and I didn’t notice an accessible option.

Have been supporting this shop for a while because I liked their mission, but recently realized their store policy is not customer-friendly.
I got earrings for a friend and was unable to return or exchange them after realizing she doesn’t have her ears pierced. I was unaware their policy excludes returns or exchanges. :/ (The exception is clothing which can only be exchanged for store credit. Pretty expensive options for items you can’t change your mind on… Not a fan.)

Such a cute and thoughtful boutique. Beautiful, sustainable apparel, one-of-a kind gifts, and jewelry. I’m due for another visit.

Tigress is such a wonderful boutique. There’s a lovely selection of clothing and gifts, it’s hard not to want everything. I’ve purchased few of their clothing items, which I wear very frequently and are comfortable (yay cotton).

Love this shop. Great variety, unique pieces and a really nice range of prices so there’s something for everyone. They do the sustainability/fair trade/slow fashion research so you don’t have to. Everyone I have encountered there is super friendly but not pushy. They really utilize their space well, I usually do multiple laps because there is always something I’ve missed. 10/10 recommend spending the afternoon with these great folks.

My favorite hidden gem of a shop in Durham. The goods are beautifully and thoughtfully curated, great to browse for gifts and sustainable clothing options. My daughter and I like to pair a visit to Cocoa and Cinnamon down the road with a stop in at this lovely little shop for a fun afternoon.

This is my favorite shop in Durham! Their clothing is super high quality, just my style. Love the jewelry as well and it is locally owned by a Durham resident! Also great housewares and gift options.

Cute, well-made clothing, accessories, and gifts. Lots of sustainable brands (Pact, Marine Layer, Toad & Co, Jungmaven, etc) making clothing out of natural fibers (cotton, hemp, wool, etc). Fair trade, globally-sourced and -inspired trinkets and textiles. I used to live in Portland, OR and this store reminds me of stuff I used to find there. I'll definitely be back! There's even a sustainable consignment section in the back.

This is a super cute shop that will definitely be in my rotation especially for unique sustainable gifts and jewelry. I've also bought a few interesting pieces of clothing. Great quality, love knowing my items were made by smaller companies using ethical practices. Shop local y'all.
