Exotique 319 West Main Street, Durham, NC 27701

"My husband and I was waiting to eat at a place near by an wondered into the beautiful place. The art, decor and clothes were all very nice. We will return."

"I have found my dreams wrapped up in brick and mortar. The store was so many items I was overwhelmed. I will be back. I need time to wander and touch without feeling like I’m in someone’s way. If you are of the diaspora you will love this store. If you’re not from the diaspora you can at least appreciate the store."

"I love this African boutique! This is one of the rare Gems of Durham! If you haven’t been please go. Exotique is the place you go to find unique, one of a kind finds. In a world where everything is so “copy and paste” same ole same ole, it’s a relief that I get to live so close to a rare Gem like Exotique."

"I had the PURE PLEASURE of going to this AWESOMELY UNIQUE shop a few days ago. First of all, my Sister and I drove 45 minutes from Wendell, NC! I am NOT fond of Durham AT ALL! Yet, the SUPERB CUSTOMER SERVICE and truly one of a kind items!! A MUST have is the Coco Mango Shea Butter made by the Owner’s Beautiful Wife!! I FULL SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BUSINESS! And I assure you that I will DEFINITELY be coming back to Exotique SOON!"

"After walking by this place many times when I was downtown, I stopped in to take a look. There was such a wide variety of African clothing, jewelry, art and just about everything else you can imagine. I even bought a Dashiki. I recommend anyone to stop by and see all this place has to offer."
