Dillard's
Shop a vast inventory of goods in quiet elegance.

6900 E Camelback Rd
Scottsdale, AZ 85251

Phone (480) 949-5869

The Scene
This ornate temple of retailing features an elegant interior with beautiful marble floors and curved architectural ceilings. Time-tested department store brand names are displayed in a way that makes everything seem appealing. Soft music and chatty but unaggressive salespeople mix with rustling shopping bags and register drawers snapping open and shut to produce a symphony of merchandising. On two floors, served by multiple escalators, you can find those special items twinkling in perfect lighting and enjoy an elegant setting without pretense.

The Goods
Pristine and graceful fragrance and makeup counters obscure the entrance to the Lancôme Day Spa. Beyond the beauty products, the massive shoe department stretches to the back of the store. Similar styles by different brands are displayed side by side. Displays of what seems to be every type of shoe are complemented by discreet sale racks spread around the department. More top designer men's names appear here than at other department stores. The entire second floor is mainly women's wear, for all stages of life. Tucked behind the clothes are chic housewares, customary gifts, the ubiquitous wedding registry and Dillard's Travel.

Nordstrom
Quality goods meet quality service in a beautiful setting.

The Scene
Nominated as best threads for its wide selection of brand name merchandise. Deservedly famed for their focus on providing excellent customer service, Nordstrom offers a wide range of merchandise, from famous label evening wear to brand name accessories and tantalizing perfumes.

The Goods
There's a mind-boggling variety of merchandise, attractively presented. Specifically, it's a great place to register a bride, purchase great baby gifts or find classic suits for the office. Their first-floor cosmetics counters stretch forever and there's plenty of watches and jewelry nearby.

Find one-of-a-kind handcrafted gifts at Out of Hand or indulge in an afternoon of pampering at Rolf's Salon.
