Gorgeous store! You’ll never be at a loss for a gift, or something special for yourself. Beautiful and stylish home goods, ceramics, jewelry, art, and lots of other surprises. The store has retained products from many of the original local artisans who helped build this unique shop that dates back to the 70s. Modern additions to the product line make it a fun place to shop for people of all ages. The salespeople are extremely helpful and knowledgable about the products, and are friendly but never overbearing. Don’t miss this shop if you are visiting Northampton! Locals should feel lucky to have this place nearby.

Really nice stuff, enjoyed walking around here a lot. They have an eclectic mix of a lot of décor items, most of which seem fairly over priced and unnecessary when you come down to it. We were interested in getting a letter for the wall in our house. We have a couple of other ones from other places that we have picked up along the way. When i saw the price of $ 24 for something i could see paying 20% of that price that was really the end for me in deciding to get anything. Still if you have an artsy personality on your shopping list and money is less of an issue then this is a great stop for you, but by no means a lower end college area store to be sure.

Wow, such a great variety of interesting artisan — made
goods! At Pinch I always find that unique gift or something beautiful and fun for my home. Also, the
jewelry is consistently gorgeous.
One of the pleasures in shopping here is the atmosphere. The staff do a super job of giving you space and quiet to browse through the shop.
They are lovely people here.

First of all the staff here (including the owner) are the sweetest, most helpful that I have encountered in a long time. Always super friendly and attentive, smiling… so hard to come by these days. In any event, a great shop. They have some amazing men’s watches, I already bought 2 and plan on returning to get another. I saw an interesting tie that I may grab as well. They have a great selection of interesting stuff, check them out if you are in the area. Highly recommended !!

Well we just thought this shop was the bees knees. There are certainly a lot of stores in Northampton selling handcrafted goods, but our shopping time was limited so we thought, based on the window display, this would be the one to hit and I’m glad we did.
Great place for buying gifts for others or a treat for yourself, with many one of a kind pieces.

My husband and I stopped by this great little shop on our way from New York to Vermont. There is so much amazing art here from jewelery to handbags and ceramics. Everything there is handmade by local artists and the woman working there knew about all of them. You’re not going to find a «Made in India» sticker anywhere. It was nice to know that whatever I bought there I would be supporting local artists and getting something beautiful. The pieces there are the kind of thing that people are always asking you where you got it from because they are so beautiful and original. You could spend a lot of money and take home some really fantastic pieces or you can just spend a little and be just as happy (almost). I got a beautiful necklace this time and will definitely be going back.
