History

Established in 2007.

Pigment began as an idea between husband-​and-​wife duo Chad Anglin and Amy Paul. Longtime residents of San Diego’s North Park neighborhood, the two decided to open up shop in 2007, initially as a way to showcase Amy’s artwork. Though the space was originally envisioned as more of a gallery, they began to stock a carefully curated selection of design-​conscious goods. It wasn’t long until the 1,500 square foot space flourished into a full-​scale concept shop with an organic modern aesthetic. Inspired heavily by nature and their love of good design, Chad and Amy have grown Pigment into a one-​stop shop for art, flora and thoughtful gifts, including plenty of locally made goods alongside globally recognized brands.

Disgustingly adorable. I want to buy this store and live in it. For a home décor store though, there sure is a lot of tiny knick-​knacks (and we all know how those add up and make our houses junky). I’d sure love to see some bigger house wares eventually (like one thing I was hoping they would have, which I saw in a similar store… Is those Joseph-​Joseph nesting bowls). The gentleman hardware enamelware is so cool, yet incredibly expensive. In fact the prices are kind of hit and miss in this store. Some stuff is surprisingly affordable while other stuff is kind of a shocker ($ 140 pillows?! Lolwat?)

Such a cute store, I love the décor they have going on. They have different odds and ends items and plants. They have a free photo booth set up in the store where you can take a photo and have it sent to your social media or email. They also have a section on their store if you wanted to build your own planetarium.

This shop is VERY COOL. There’s a variety of fairly priced items, and then some that make you say, «WOAH, please don’t drop this!» I was able to get all of my Mother’s Day shopping out of the way with one stop at this place.

Finally got to stop in here this weekend because the hubs is out of town and my mom is here!
This beautiful store is chock full of absolutely adorable items, from whimsical to sophisticated. However, it is ungodly expensive (hence the lack of 5 stars). I saw so many things I’d loved to have picked up, but couldn’t justify the price. I’d LOVE to do a DIY arrangement, but am afraid to ask how much it is.
After reading some of the other comments regarding customer service here, thinking back, not a single employee said a single word to either my mom or me. There were some cute owl salt and pepper shakers that weren’t priced, but there was no one to ask. There was a line, so I couldn’t ask a cashier either.
This is definitely a place for some good window shopping, but I’m not sure I’ll ever actually spend money on anything.

This store screams DIANNA. Funny thing is my friend said this to me when we stopped by. ^_​^ Really though, this store has almost ALL the stuff I love.
Here’s a list:
–Pineapple stuff
I saw this beautiful white scarf with gold pineapples from Shraleah ($ 28)
Pineapple earrings in a cute pineapple straw holder.
–Succulents and airplants
There’s a nifty DIY area for you to assemble a terrarium!
–Kate Spade
–Rifle Paper Co.
–Swell bottles (although I am loyal to hydroflask)
–GOLD shit errrrrrryyyywhuuuurrrr. I love it.
–Dainty jewelry
–Cute photo booth area
–Cute home stuff!
–Cute children/​baby stuff
–Good place to shop for gifts
The only thing missing is sushi stuff.
I could live in this store. It’s so darling.

I wanted to buy everything in the store! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Liz was very knowledgeable and offered great suggestions. They have a great selection of succulents and air plants, however a bit pricey. Absolute «go to» to realize your Pinterest dreams for terrariums.

I looooove Pigment! Everything in here (And I mean absolutely everything) is cute and if anyone got me anything in here, I’d be super happy. There are a ton of things, such as cute and unique birthday cards, back packs, flasks, jewelry, house décor, a large selection of succulents, tee pees, books, just to name a few. It reminds me of the cool random items section that you find at Urban Outfitters, but instead of just a small a section, it’s the entire store. The stuff here is pretty pricey, but it’s all really cool and unique. I always come here to buy my mini succulents and cacti whenever I’m in North Park, which are usually $ 3 each. There’s a really nice selection of them and a lot to choose from. There is also an area where you can make your own terrarium with a variety of cool containers and other things to decorate your terrarium. A bit expensive, but I think it’s a lovely gift that you can make for someone. It’s something I’ve always wanted to make and I’ll definitely come back one day to do so!

To say that I’m in love with this store would be an understatement. I might be obsessed!
I had been following them on Instagram for a while and was FINALLY able to stop in last weekend to check it out. They have such a cool collection of trinkets, home décor, gifts, kitchen accessories, plants and jewelry! I could easily spend thousands of dollars in here but didn’t (you’re welcome, husband!).
My friend and I spent about an hour wandering around, looking at everything and we were approached multiple times by the very friendly staff to see if we needed a price or any other help. Normally this sort of thing bothers me, but they were all so nice, conversational and actually helpful as opposed to pesky.
I ended up settling on a new succulent to replace my dead one at home, a cute little bowl and a very cool air plant to put in it. As a side note, air plants are probably the coolest, most confusing thing I’ve ever seen. They don’t have roots, they don’t grow in soil and they need very little watering. What are these alien plants?!
Anyhoo, I grabbed the little bowl that didn’t have a price on it (which I somehow have a knack for doing!) and it just so happened to be one of the only ones left in the store! My cashier was great though, and got someone on it right away to find out the price for me. $ 8? I’ll take it! He even answered my questions about how to care for the mysterious, mind-​boggling air plant I had just purchased and even gave me some helpful pointers in how he cares for his personally.
I know that I’ll be back to shop at Pigment soon — they have build-​your-​own succulent terrariums and I just have to make one!

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. This store is daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarling.
They have so many really cute things! REALLY fun get together ideas. Adorable cards that are so unique and different than typical Target cards. The Swell waterbottles. BEAUTIFUL jewelry. AND awesome home décor.
I love everything about this store except the prices. I can find 95% of everything in the store at a discounted rate elsewhere or on the internet. This is usually the case with smaller boutiques so it’s okay (support small business!) but they could do a little bit of price adjusting.
Other than that, it’s definitely a must check out.

I have been to Pigment a few times now. Enter alllll the heart eye emojis. However, I must agree with the several other reviews regarding poor customer service. I, too, spent my high school and college days working in customer service and the service here is severely lacking.
I probably spent close to an hour here recently and was not greeted, was not asked if I needed help with anything, and I could have had more of a human interaction if a robot rang me up. There was still no «Did you find everything okay?» or «How is your day?». Pathetic really. I’ve also visited on a busy weekend and they have a sales associate standing at the door (not greeting) but watching everyone like a hawk. Yes, I love everything in this store but my experiences here have left a bad taste in my mouth and I most likely will not return or recommend to friends.

Such a great shop for a variety of needs… be it gifts, home décor, and a bit of everything in between. I was in search of a dining room centerpiece, and went with some great vases and a custom succulent design. I picked out what I liked, and the Pigment staff member helped me fill in the blanks. I came back to pick up my completed designs the next day. Three weeks after doing so, one particular succulent in a few of the vases died. I called to discuss, and they had me bring it back in. They updated the vases with new succulents of a different varietal, and didn’t charge me for this. Which is smart business.
The prices here are not inexpensive but I feel the quality, variety and staff make it deserving.

CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE!
I love their photo booth set up in the corner where you can take fun selfies and then email them to yourself. They have a great a beautiful area to make your own air plant holders and just the overall boutique look of the store really is homey. I love this place and will be back every time I’m in the area.

Cute shop for diy people! There are loads of cute knick knacks and houseware items for sale, although they are on the more pricey side. They have a large variety of Swell bottles! I love their brand and the fact that they can keep your drink cold for hours. They have the wooden and rose gold colors here. What makes the store so special is their diy succulent/​air plant station. They have glass and ceramic vases, special stones, colored sand and a unique variety of plants that you arrange together yourself. The workers are quite helpful!

Great store if you are looking for a unique gift. It can get crowded during busy shopping days. There is a section to build your own terrariums. It is a bit pricey, the reason they lost a star. Lots of green products are sold here.

Pigment is the perfect culmination of style, elegance, and all things pretty.
One thing I’d change… get AC! Or more fans. I thought my face was melting when I was in there the other day.

Housewares, kid wares, random knick knacks and plants.
Lots of fun stuff to look at. They sell terrariums, and they all also sell the stuff to make the terrariums, and you can even make them there.
This place has a lots of cool trendy stuff, with a steep price tag. The terrariums really got me, and I almost got suckered into purchasing one (they can range upwards of $ 30, I saw one for $ 96!!). If anything, come for inspiration, and DIY elsewhere, where I guarantee you’ll be able to make it cheaper.

A SUNDAY AFTERNOON…
SHOP GIRL: «Hi! Have you ever tried our specialtysalts?»
CHUN P: «No I haven’t, but am curious about them…»
SHOP GIRL: «I have all of them and they’re all uniquely great!»
CHUN P: «Oh yeah? What do you use them with?»
SHOP GIRL: «I cook them in with pastas and stir frys…»
CHUN P: «What kinda of species? Pig? Cow? Chicken…»
SHOP GIRL: «Uh…um…»
CHUN P: «…Fish? Lamb? Shrimp? Lobster…»
SHOP GIRL: «…uh…I’m actually a Vegetarian…»
CHUN P: «Oh…uh…um…so sorry!»
Luckily she took my cruel, carnivorous, environmentally harmful, and life shortening eating habits in good stride with a big genuine smile!
Its called «Magique Salts»…I got the small vial for $ 5. Its pretty good stuff, add it to whatever to add some pizazz to your horrible bland cooking… my wife always uses it for my home cooking. But not hers. She says I should’ve bought the larger bottle.
