Artemisia

"After many trips to Geneva over the years, we have always enjoyed each little shop & restaurant. Until today. We walked into Artemisia and saw some lovely clothing and decor. Two ladies behind the register saw us and did not welcome us at all. I found a very comfortable chair to try while my friend looked around. In walks this woman who I smiled at and got zero response. She went in the back room, came out and proceeded to walk right in front of my friend cutting her off without a word. We left and the next 4 stores we went to we were greeted by the friendliest and helpful staff! This was such a contrast from your store. Yes, we came back to see who was so rude to us…turns out it was the store owner because we spoke with you and asked for your business card and all of a sudden you were nice!! Maybe you could take a minute and look in one of your mirrors and see you are no better than anyone else. Your attitude needs adjusting!"

"The customer service is hit or miss. My last visit was a miss. Unfriendly, not welcoming. The employee acted annoyed by my presence, even though I was chill and didn't need assistance. Her attitude was off-putting. I'm not the only one who noticed, aparent by other comments here."

"The clothing and merchandise are great. The customer service is not so great unless you are not a POC or at least look like you have money to spend. I did get a call from the owner who insisted they are not racist or elitist the words say one thing and the actions speak louder."

"Artemisia is a local gem of a store to visit anytime your in the area. They constantly are getting new artisan made treasures in. So far I’ve purchased three pieces of furniture from here, two end tables and an office/study chair and various specialty gifts for friends and family. The owner does a wonderful job of sourcing unique finds that are truly one of a kind. I love their variety of artwork they have displayed on their main level and an entire upper art gallery that is a worth a trip itself exploring. I don’t think I’ve ever been in any store that is a home to so many talented artisans from all around the world all under one roof. Another really cool fact that many might not know is I noticed on many of the artisan goods they have many give back a percentage of every item sold to women charities from abuse, educational grow, and of poverty. To me that personally speaks volume on the values of the owner and that she seeks artisans that are putting good back into the world on top of making beautifully made goods. I regularly tell my friends and family about adding Artemisia as place to check out when in the area for an afternoon of enjoying downtown Geneva. Jacquie the Store Manager also does a great job of helping you find the perfect stylish look too. She always offers suggestions on clothing that perhaps you might not normally think is you but once you give it a try on you see “wow okay this is a really cool outfit” and she gives you that extra boost of confidence to try something new and fun! This place is truly a home to many unique treasures and so fun to just explore every room admiring all the cool artisan jewelry, clothing, home decor, artwork, footwear and gift ideas."
