Pangaea

06/07/2007 Posted by jessiebell77

This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite stores. I've usually had good service, but have heard some horror stories as well. Still, the questionable service is, in my opinion, outweighed by the great selection of jewelry and odds-and-ends type things, as well as the southern-New Mexico ambience. It's a great little place to go find gifts for anyone and everyone, as well as fun things for yourself. I'm always raving about the fun items I discover at Pangea, and have a serious appreciation for the cheapie earring selection.

Pros: Fun Jewelry, Unique Shopping Experience

Cons: Sometimes Questionable Service

Pangaea is such a quaint and cute shop in Hillsboro! I love going in the morning of a hot date and picking out the perfect pair of earings. They have goregous jewelry and a good bit of it is reasonably priced, so you don't have to splurge, but rather just treat yourself. They also have a great purse and handbag selection to match!

Very unique and a really nice little place, but I wouldn't actually purchase anything here. All of it has that thrift store appeal and what doesn't is really cheaply made. Not to mention the prices were so incredibly high, none of it was worth that. Their $40 throw pillows are nothing more than faked embroidery (straight stitch or tight zig-zag) on cheap $1/yd cotton fabrics. Their clothes are just typical "head shop" name brands but with massive mark-up. Unless you just want to go in and browse, I wouldn't recommend it. But it is a nice place to get ideas for stuff to do on your own and great for killing some time in the Villiage.

Pros: Very unique, Great style

Cons: Excessively expensive, Thrift store finds

I've been in Pangaea dozens of times. The wares are unusual and interesting, especially some of the small housewares. The main drawback is the horrendous service! The same rude staff has worked there for a while and it has driven away a lot of customers - add me to the list! They're slow and bitter when you want a dressing room, rude and pushy when it comes close to closing time. The jewelry/small gift quality seems to have gone way down recently and this, in addition to the awful service, has made me decide not to shop there again. Try Fire Finch or A Thousand Faces if you want a better all-around experience in the Village!

Pros: Unusual Items, Funky Clothing

Cons: Horrible Staff, Slow, Rude Service, Overpriced

Immediately upon walking into the store I was transported to that special place where you forget about everything else going on in your life. Eagerly perusing the mostly ethnic inspired merchandise, I was so taken by the originality, beauty and diversity of everything around me. Moroccan, bohemian and spiritual are the words that come to mind when I think of the items Pangaea carries. Great finds included a pack of Day of The Dead playing cards, a cute baby's tee with a heart and crown graphic (perfect for my rockabilly loving friends who just became parents), a turquoise velvet jacket and two mini hair scarfs, one with a black and white floral print and one iridescent with sequins. The prices were higher than I what I normally try to spend but worth every penny if you can afford it. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well.

Pros: Great vibe, Original items, Easy to find

Cons: A little pricey

Some people who work here just aren't that friendly and that's the only downer of this unique shop. Not alot of smiles going on in here either.

Pros: cool things

Cons: not-so-freindly staff

This store is great for gifts and just for spoiling yourself a little bit. Clothing can be pricey--but sometimes there are great bargains on the the sale rack. Jewelry is the reason I visit Pangaea--there are incredible earring finds on the $6 rack.

Pros: great gifts, location, $6 earring rack!

Cons: clothing prices

Pangea is one of those stores you immediatly fall in love with! There is so much stuff to pick from and it's all original product! I love it!

Pros: variety, sometimes cheap

Cons: sometimes expensive

Funky stuff, great pricing. If you had to buy a gift for anybody, you could find it at Pangaea. Cool clothes, hats, scarves. Not much space to walk around , and even less space to try stuff on. One day I was trying to find someone to let me in the dressing room and nobody was around so I had to try on the shirt over my clothes. The attendant arrived shortly thereafter and gave me an evil look so I told her I had been trying to find somebody to help me but to no avail. Then she rolled her eyes and said "This is not the gap!!!" and walked off. Some attitude! I'd never go in there again because of her but I just can't help myself to all the neat things inside.

Pros: great stuff, novelties

Cons: attitude, small space, parking

I recently visited Pangea for the first time and loved it. There stuff is very non-modern and really fun. I like to call it the little Spanish-Indian shop. They have really cool stuff for a home or gift and good prices too. Although their service could use a little work.
