Patch Picks: Rockville Boutiques
These five shops specialize in an amazing range of products.

Merriam-Webster defines “boutique” as a “small, fashionable shop.” We define it as a shop with a lot of ambience. With that in mind, here are some Rockville boutiques worth checking out.
- on Rockville Pike offers an eclectic blend of merchandise. From artwork to bridal gifts from many cultures to hand-inlaid boxes from Persia and blown crystal from Europe, you’ll find it here.
- on Nebel Street is the place to go for your beading needs. They have over 18,000 beads in stock. They also carry clasps, tools and jewelry supplies. They offer classes too.
- on Frederick Road carries Indian and South African clothing for men, women and children. They offer saris, lehengas, kurtis, bridal saris and Bengali wedding cards.
- in Rockville Town Square has an amazing array of toys that emphasize the imagination. They specialize in products from European toy companies and have a staff that definitely knows their stuff.
- on Nebel Street has ladies designer clothes, jewelry, shoes, furs and collectibles at prices that will appeal to the budget conscious. Their inventory spans from casual to evening wear, with names like Chanel, Buchman, Armani and Escada on hand.
