50 BEST SHOPS IN ATLANTA
Shopping in Atlanta has never been better, with new developments, luxury boutiques, and specialty stores popping up faster than you can say “charge it.”
Our team scoured the metro area for the best places to buy clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics for men, women, and kids. “Shops,” we decided, are intimate spaces that feel like a one-of-a-kind experience, whether they’re locally or internationally owned.
These are the spots with the best merch, cool buys you won’t find anywhere else, hangout-worthy interiors, and top-notch customer service that sometimes comes with a cold beverage. We didn’t say it was easy.
