Hi Beth,

I bought the finger-hole handbag last week. Just wanted to let you know that my girlfriend loved it. Thanks for your help! Happy holidays!

Hello ladies,

I loved the experinece of shopping at your beautiful little boutique. My boyfriend and I were thoroughly impressed with how professional and helpful you both were and of course by the selection of designers and vintage pieces. Thanks so much for suggesting that I try on the beautiful vintage black dress with the open V-shaped back. I can't wait to wear it. Will absolutely come and visit the store again when in Boston.

Cheers,
Era from Brooklyn, NY

It has taken me a few weeks to get to review our photos from our Boston trip earlier in June, but we promised we'd send you this photo, so here you go.   We had such a fun time in your shop! Deborah looks fabulous in all of her items, by the way.

Let us know when the Fly has plans to branch out into the D.C. region!

Take care,
Carol

Great service and fabulous merchandise!!

This place it FANTASTIC! It has something for everyone. It's classically chic, contemporarily modern, and vintage cool all at the same time. It is the kind of place that you walk into and you have to grab everything just in case someone decides to buy it before you do. In one trip you can find something great for that friend who is too conservative to be trendy, too trendy to be conservative or something fun and playful for that friend that already has everything...or you could just indulge yourself! Even better than the stock is the funky atmosphere and warm service provided by Lorrinda and Beth, worth the drive to the North End in and of itself.

The Best and Most Relaxed Shopping Experience

Boutique shopping can often involve disappointment, terrible customer service, and leaving a person feeling self-conscious for going shopping in anything less than Vogue worthy. Beth and Lorrinda, however, succeeded, without a doubt, in creating a relaxed and fun shopping experience in The Velvet Fly. Not only does their vintage as well as modern clothing provide a chance for anyone to explore their own individuality and sense of style, but they also stress the importance of dressing for your body type and finding that Perfect outfit. You absolutely cannot come to the North End without stopping at the “Fly” because after one visit you will always want to come back.

This place has it ALL!!!

This new boutique has a little bit of EVERYTHING you need, or should I say DESIRE. The two owners, Lorrinda and Beth, make sure they have clothing that every woman would love. They will even help someone like me, slightly clothing challenged, look and feel gorgeous in a new outfit! You'll love the shop, you'll love the amazing service, and your wallet will even love you afterward! Don't miss this one!

Hidden Jewel

Love The Velvet Fly! Its a trendy boutique tucked in the streets of the North End. The store has a perfect balance of authentic stylish vintage and modern pieces that fit perfectly together. They have great accessories to top it all off! The owners Beth and Lorinda are wonderful, they make you feel like you are shopping with friends. I highly recommend stopping by The Velvet Fly, it's worth it!!

My new favorite boutique!

The Velvet Fly is my new favorite boutique. Lorrinda and BethAnn expertly pick some of the most beautiful vintage pieces you will ever see. As modern trends are about details and uniqueness, it can be tricky to tell which pieces are vintage and which are new! I just bought a Voom dress that I thought would never fit me, and it looks incredible. Other designers like Level 99 denim, also flatter (in the most delightful way!). I am so happy to see one of a kind jewelry (like Bellula) and Latico leather goods too! With a range of goods and very reasonable prices I highly recommend The Velvet Fly.

Best Boutique!

This boutique is great!! I live in the neighborhood and I can't help but stop in at least once a week on my way home from work! They are always getting in new styles, not to mention the one of a kind vintage slip dress I bought last week! The owners are so nice and provide great customer service and knowledge of the vintage pieces. For anyone who hasn't stopped in yet, they have great handbags and unique jewelry too! Oh, and did I mention that the prices are actually affordable for a working girl like me!

Great new store

This new boutique in the North End is great. I was down there with some women from work to check this place out and we all ended up buying a few things. They have a great variety of clothing and accessories to choose from. I ended up buying a few modern dresses and even a vintage dress. The women who were working were such a big help, they made recommendations to all of us. They even have some jewelry in the store. If you love shopping like I do you need to check out this new boutique.
