When I say I love Mrs. Phyllis down! I stumbled upon African flair when it was off of Stan Schlueter and gotten waist beads at my initial visit. From then until now ( about 3 years) I’ve probably owned about 10-15 beads from her and wore them all at once! Mrs. Phyllis assisted and even tied them on for me everytime!…

Phyllis is an amazing business woman who listens to her customer, is compassionate, and a consummate professional. The Maison of Phyllis has an awesome assistant, Daniel, who like Phyllis is an artist with couture and all things fashion. I absolutely love buying signature pieces and litersl works of art from Phyllis and Daniel.
