Patch Pick: Five Boutiques

A Patch writer—and Gloucester Township resident—offers up her top five boutiques in or very close to the township.

1. - This small and chic boutique is a treasure in the heart of Blackwood. Here you can find clothing, purses, shoes and jewelry from some of the top designers, including Liz Claiborne, Perry Ellis, Ralph Lauren and Guess at discounted prices. Most items are gently used. The shop also allows customers to exchange clothing for cash! Rafaella’s is open Tuesday through Saturday.

2. Fabulous Finds Thrift Boutique - Located on Blackwood Clementon Road, just outside of the township, Fabulous Finds is an upscale women's boutique that carries labels such as DKNY, Style and Co. and Talbots. You can find shoes, purses, perfume and an extensive jewelry collection at the front counter. The prices are great, customer service is top-notch and the store provides a large and comfortable dressing room so you can try on some of their items and decide what looks best.

3. Book Asylum - If you're crazy about books, this is the place for you! This used bookstore, located at 26 N. Black Horse Pike, across from the Blackwood library, is a great addition to the Gloucester Township area. The small, cozy store is backed with a variety of books, including fiction, nonfiction, biography, young adult, mystery and romance. You can find books from authors like Janet Evanovich, Emily Giffin and James Patterson for less than $5. The store's number is 856-227-7525.
