Absolutely love the vibes here!! I loved the variety of plants that they offered and the scented candles were sooo calming. The scent in the store was also very therapeutic and chill. Definitely stop on by for a look :)

Very cute and stylish store. Their clothes selection is awesome and customer service is very polite. This store has their own fashion taste and everything looks so lovely! The atmosphere of the store seems to speak directly to you. The selection of plants catches my attention. If you are looking for a housewarming present, the plant will be a good choice!

This entire store is a vibe. Excellent plant selection that ranges in price. I chatted with Caitlin about how to care for the ferns Ive purchased previously and she was so helpful!

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Always find beautiful, well made pieces here that last for a significant amount of time. Pricey, but well worth the investment.

Everything in this shop is so beautiful curated and most times I go there i find the staff cold and dismissive. Last time I came in I said have a nice afternoon! and the woman at the front so aid mhmm and didnt look up.

I was caught up with the elegant and classy clothes of this boutiques collections. They offered lots of trend clothes which is my style of clothing. And now I bought five pieces of it but guess what? I got a discount of 25% each! What a great day for me. You must stop at their place guys! They a lot of beautiful trend clothes.

Excellent selection of clothes, brands and things for the home. We were visiting Seattle from NYC for the long weekend and hands down this was the best shop in the whole city. They were also really friendly despite the fact we had actually gone in at closing time (not knowingly) and still they gave us time to browse and really treated us very well. I would definitely go back and would recommend it to anyone when in Seattle.

When I first visited, I really appreciated the beautiful interior and plant selection. However, one of the store associates made me feel very uncomfortable. He excessively followed me around the store and kept trying to talk to me. It was very uncomfortable and felt like he was trying to keep tabs on me. There were a few other customers in the store but no one seemed to be bothering them. I was dressed a little schlubby that day and granted this is a boutique shop, but Ive never felt more uncomfortable in a store in cap hill. Not sure if he still works there, but hoping this was a one-off experience.

Really really cool, eclectic blend of brands. I try to pop in quarterly, and I always run into Forrest, one of the owners. Every time he sees me, he remembers what Ive bought before all the way back to the very first time I was in the shop. He never gives me the hard sell. Instead, we have really good conversations about the pieces, and in a really easy, gentle way, he helps me push outside what I might normally try, which has led to some nice surprises for me. Get the full experience by stopping by the greenhouse down the way, too.

Alisa and Forest (Glasswings owners) are wonderfully creative and community-minded powerhouses! Their original store (Glasswing Shop) and their new plant store (Glasswing Greenhouse) are meticulously designed and curated. They hold regular workshops and events that support small businesses and artists which are great for anyone looking to learn a new creative skill. I recommend getting on their mailing list or follow them on social media to be alerted to their next event!

They made a beautiful, thoughtful and unique space. That’s also how to describe their inventory of clothing.That staff is very friendly and helpful. They aren’t pushing anything. It feels more like shopping w a friend who knows a lot about fashion. Men’s or women’s, they have great clothes.

Excellent boutique with curated selection of designer goods, including womens and mens clothing, shoes,and jewelry . Awesome customer service.

Review №19

The price point is on the aggressive side but they compensate by having a unique selection for Seattle standards. Given the strong affinity for practical outdoor (ideally already pre-owned by someone else) clothes among local dwellers, finding minimalist picks from Japan or Norway can be a bit challenging. Hence I appreciate Glasswing quite a bit. Hope it stays for a while.

Glasswing features an assortment of plants, gifts, and clothing items in a millennial boutique off of Melrose. Prices are so absurdly high that you’ll probably have a hard time even imaging their target clientele.Still, if you’re ever in the mood to drop $70 on a small cactus or bandana, skip the Instagram drop-shippers and instead hand your Amazon paycheck straight to the hipster bourgeoisie. I guess the customer service is pretty good, though?

I came in looking for a unique dress for a vineyard wedding. I was immediately greeted and helped at the door. I had great conversations with the employees while finding the perfect dress!

This is a very hip store that channels a mix of vintage appeal with homemade style. A bit pricey, of course. But guaranteed to find some treasures whether as a gift or for yourself.

Nicely curated shop. Clothing is pricey but the selection of house plants & succulents is worth the visit. This store is packed but neatly organized. If you like the shop Anthropologie, youll like Glasswings vibe. Definitely check it out. Then go up the block & get yourself an Iced Hazelnut Bianco at Starbucks Reserve Roastery, its really good. :)

Awesome store, beautiful interior and location by The Hill. Amazing selection of products from Norse Project to Poler Stuff. Nicest owners and workers, talk to them, you might learn something.

I visited with a recommendation from another local plant shop that there were cool succulents and plants here.Walking in I had high hopes, as its clear from the moment you walk in that they have a variety of plants, but my heart fell.Im a succulent lover and most of the ones on their shelves were stretched out from lack of sunlight. Echeverias were unrecognizable.The venue has trendy industrial/Edison style bulbs in low warm lighting and large windows, but a terrible location to get natural light except at limited times of day when the sun peaks through other buildings.I bought a string of buttons for $13 that was so stretched and wilted it was nearly unrecognizable. A random colorful leafy plant labeled assorted foliage $7 and a little tiny flower pot of 2 for $6. The prices are average for plants, but I didnt bother looking at any other overpriced pots and accessories since they had a fake stuffed bear for sale over $4k.This store is obviously a trendy upscale store, many things were pretty and caught my eye, but I came for plants.I was massively disappointed in the treatment of their plants and the negligent care; I had to pick through the plants to try and find a healthy string of buttons that wasnt wilted or dying of obvious root rot.When asking friends and FB groups for care advice, many remarked my plant looked like an ice plant because it was so sad, wilted, and stretched out. I hope all 3 of the plants I bought thrive and survive despite the condition I brought them home in.I gave this store 2 stars because it has potential. Right now their focus doesnt seem to be on their plants, but the other more expensive accessories and clothes that they sell. The lighting needs to be fixed. Plants need grow lights if you cant give them enough natural light. Some plants are over watered and clearly dying or suffering from root rot. The employees seemed nice, but I didnt want to say anything to them about it.The pictures attached are a couple days of full sun later, allowing the soil to completely dry and the plant to recover. The brown wilted growths may recover, but theyre a sign of over watering and lack of sunlight. It is so droopy, but this is perky compared to when I brought it home a few days ago.I included a photo of what the crassula marginalis rubra variegata should look like, mislabeled as a string of buttons, compared to how stretched, sad, and droopy it is.
