About Details · Gift Shop in Chapel Hill, NC

A Secrid wallet. A vintage greeting card. An unexpected piece of décor. A watch that needs a fresh battery. They may not sound like they belong in the same shop—and that is exactly what makes Details different.

For 25 years, we have built our business around an eclectic point of view rather than a predictable retail formula. We bring together things that are useful, expressive, nostalgic, giftable, and sometimes simply too interesting to pass by.

The result is a Chapel Hill shop where you can arrive looking for one thing and leave having discovered something completely different. Details recently relocated to 1322 Fordham Blvd in Chapel Hill, NC, where we continue welcoming shoppers from Chapel Hill and across the Triangle, including Raleigh, Cary, and Durham.

What makes Details different is the mix. We bring contemporary merchandise together with vintage and collectible pieces, giving you opportunities to find something practical beside something nostalgic, artistic, playful, or unexpected.

Our selection spans gifts, vintage and collectibles, jewelry and accessories, Secrid wallets, bags, textiles, and home décor. Rather than defining Details by a single decorating trend or era, we focus on interesting finds.

That approach gives our shop a fresh, eclectic character while leaving room for pieces that appeal to different tastes, occasions, and personalities.

A business can change locations without losing what makes it recognizable. Our move to Fordham Boulevard begins a new chapter for Details while building on 25 years in business.

The new storefront gives longtime customers another place to reconnect with us and new visitors an opportunity to discover the shop for the first time.

Through those years, one idea has remained especially important: there should always be room for something unexpected. We are not trying to make every object match.

We prefer a collection where contemporary design can sit comfortably beside vintage character and an everyday accessory can share space with an unusual keepsake. That contrast is part of our identity—and part of what keeps each visit interesting.
