Petit & Olson

I was searching online for a sweater I saw in a window on Winslow Way when I was on Bainbridge recently. I inquired at Petit & Olson, thinking that was the store. Their webite is wonderful, yet among all the beautiful things the sweater wasn't there. The staff went out of their way to find the item I saw in a window - it turns out it wasn't their store, yet they treated me like a valued customer. I'll visit there in person next time I'm on the Island to become that valued customer.

Love this store! And I have the same last name

lovely selections! ✨✨

Great store!

Very cute boutique store with sentimental value for our family (bought our daughter's first onesie there!). On a trip just shortly after our daughter was born my husband surprised me with a shirt from the store which unfortunately didn't fit. We live in seattle but don't come to bainbridge much. Just made it back today with shirt in tow and learned there is no return or credit after 14 days. I was disappointed that the store doesn't offer any option for credit even at a current sale price. I realize stores are small and can't have as open policies as bigger companies but for a high end store that's pretty spendy, I would have expected something more accommodating.

Well when you are asked to pay the outrageous price of their "french" clothing and inventory, one wouldn't expect to see....made in China

I guess this store doesn't care about making sales! I was the only person in there when I stopped by today and took some time browsing. Two salespeople were doing nothing but chit chatting with each other. Didn't acknowledge me once. Even when I was ~10 feet away and holding up a dress I was considering trying on. Not a single hello, may I help you, or anything. I may as well have been invisible. This could've been a one-off, but something similar happened about a year ago when I bought a cute headband from the display near the front. It took forever to get someone's attention so I could pay. Maybe I don't fit a certain profile. Every other place on the island is so friendly. There's a boutique in West Seattle, smaller but similar collection. I'm always greeted warmly there.

The owner of this place should buy the salespeople a copy of Malcolm Gladwell's Blink. They need to read the chapter on the car salesman who never judges a book by its cover and has the highest sales in the state of NJ. Never stopping in this store again.
