From all around this small and inviting world, our beautiful and eclectic collection fuses whimsy with timeless elegance, luxury with practicality, classic looks with attitude. Just as great museums are characterized by the beauty and significance of the art that grace their hallways and adorn their walls, there are great shops that attempt to do the same.

The Glitz-with its carefully chosen European style jewels, its nostalgic and chic modern hats, its contemporary and vintage handbags, its stunning collection of delicate and colorful scarves, and its fanciful array of gifts petite-is as beautiful, as intriguing, as moving, and as inspirational as are the best of museums.

Enjoyed browsing throughout the two floors, loved the selection and ended up purchasing a hat for myself and girlfriend. Thought the pricing was very reasonable considering it’s a boutique hat shop
Very very nice shop

My son and daughter in law went to this shop while on their honeymoon. His wife found a hat she very much liked and my son wanted to buy a gift for her. When he went to the register to pay he was surprised at the price (she never saw it). He didn't want to deny her so he bought it for her, as well as another hat. When he went outside and told his bride how much it was, she wanted him to immediately return it as they are on a budget. They went back within 5 minutes, and the owner would not allow the return citing she is a small business. Dispicable!

Great hats wanted a fascinator for a wedding. The person working did not greet me nor did she help until I went to her. She could hardly look up from her computer.

The hats in here are so unique and glamorous. They can even size the hats for you, and they even have some amazing hats on sale. Huge selection of unique women’s hats. Elizabeth is awesome, sweet and super helpful. I’m coming back!

Very rude associate, was talking to other customers about my friends and I (we were just walking around Portsmouth) as we were walking around looking at hats and earrings. she was telling the other customers “i always have to watch groups like them” and as we were going down the stairs yelled at us to “not take pictures of the hats” very rudely to which we left as we were uncomfortable with how she was talking about us to other customers and to myself. very rude and uncalled for. i think she’s homophobic (i was with my girlfriend).

Completely rude associate. I was interested in purchasing a hat and the sales woman walked up to and stated just so you know we don’t allow pictures. I didn’t even have my phone out to take a photo. Her rude tone influenced me not to purchase anything. Instead I left the store. I don’t recommend this boutique to anyone.

If I could give negative stars I would. This was one of the rudest businesses I have ever visited. My family and I were on vacation at the beach and decided to visit Portsmouth for the night. We walked by "Puttin' on the Glitz" and noticed all of the hats. You see my mom is battling breast cancer and has lost all of her hair from the chemo treatments. She has bought several hats during this time and we thought we may be able to find some in this store to add to her collection, maybe a fun beach hat! As we entered the store there was one saleswoman on the phone behind the counter...she never greeted
