What a beautiful store. The brick and mortar is stunning. There is a large staircase inside, beautiful molding, stone, wood and so much more? On the lower level is the wedding area. I never went down there but, from the windows everything looked beautiful. So many dresses. There is a pretty good clearance section upstairs. The store does have a staircase and elevators. There is a section upstairs for employees... lets call is the employee lounge/workroom. Anthro products are stunning. I love their dresses and cardigans. I love that they have a plus size selection. Their aesthetic really delivers. They have items for the home, accessories, jewelry, clothing, shoes, candles, housewares and much more. I had encountered a few staff members and they were great, even in passing when we were in the elevator. Now Anthro can be pricey, but I can see why. There are times I cringe at a price for a dress of a candle. But, I just tell myself it is not meant to be. read more

Let me start off by saying I love Anthropologie so whenever I am in a city with a store I gravitate towards that front door and go in. This is the flagship store in Philly and the outside is beautiful. I have wanted to go for a while but given a triple fractured ankle and a non handicapped entrance I have used a visit as a rehab goal. I finally was able to make it up the stairs and it is a truly a beautiful store with several floors of items. Loved looking at all the pretty things and managed to leave with a couple of items. If you are an architectural buff I would stop in just to look at the building and rooms. Though for me it was some retail therapy and appreciating the old architecture of days gone by. read more

Such a cute flagship store. Historic building with lots of character, 4 floors, and they even decorate for the holidays. Definitely a staple of Rittenhouse! read more

This is the flagship store for Anthropologie. It's in a former mansion from the late 1800s. Just stepping into the building feels luxurious. It still has many of the original details like a sweeping staircase, an opulent ceiling of portraits and a rotunda. The clothing and jewelry have a fun vibe with styles for a variety of ages. The home decor has great gift items that are the kind of things you buy one for yourself too lol The sale section on the top floor has lots of good bargains. It's worth the hike up those steps! The staff are helpful. The person who checked me out wrapped my glasses individually in tissue paper so they would be protected. They were super sweet! It's a fun shopping experience read more

Anthropologie - Anthropologie is a fun place to shop! The clothes and jewelry are - Women's Clothing Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We went into the "bridal" shop; Mind you this isn't kleinsfeld. There was no indication it was by appointment only. The Sales child asked me, in the most rude and condescending manner, "Umm do you have appointment". I fine with the policy. however I'm not ok bullying a paying customer out of an area. they are trying to make sales based on a non-exclusive mass marketing inventory. It is hysterical & Shameful. good job Anthropologie! read more

THEY'VE EARNED MINUS STARS! This nefarious company uses OnTrac - probably the WORST shipping company in existence. Our package was misdelivered. Valuable item. Good luck getting anyone to assist in customer service. IF we don't get this found, the police WILL be contacted. There will be no further purchases from this business. CAVEAT EMPTOR! RUN AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS. read more

Great store with awesome displays and fun to explore. Located inside old Victorian type building, it's clean and organized with 3 plus floors to explore. I usually drive so it's good that there is a loading zone right across the street for about 30 min. Come here for the additional %off sales. The prices sadly are still pretty high compared to a lot of the sale sections in other Anthropologie stores. I blame the center city location. Sale section also lacking accessories and house hold items. I seem to have a better time getting deals at other places. Much bigger sale selection at the KOP locations. read more

Anthro always does it well. From candles, to furniture, to clothing, they always hit the mark. I find that they always have whatever I am looking for in stock. The employees are also very nice! read more

Nothing less than 5 stars for the amazing flagship Anthropologie right on Rittenhouse Square! I always have a great shopping experience here and am grateful to have this Philly brand well-represented here. The sales section on the top floor is a big win, in my opinion, and you can't beat even just looking around at the stunning architecture. No one does merchandising quite like Anthropologie, and they even have a bridal section in this store. Not cheap but great for a treat! Always look forward to coming back. read more

I love this store! The decoration and the architecture is so unique! My favorite has to be the home and candle section! I can always find a unique item that I love! My advice is to just buy it if you like it! Odds are you may never see that product again! read more

Not much for me in this store, but i to browse around when in town with friends. Lovely decor throughout and very organised display of merchandise. read more

Anthropologie - Women's Clothing Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

They had a good selection to choose from here. The pricing was generally ok. I tried to get some help by one of the people employed here and she was very helpful. It was fun to browse and the place was beautiful. The displays were nice and well put together. Looking forward to coming back. read more

This is the coolest Anthropologie! It's right in Rittenhouse Square and is 4 stories. The architecture of the building is gorgeous. I always love shopping here because of the atmosphere and their great selection. I came in here yesterday with my mom and sister. We were thrilled to see that the entire store was 40% off. Even the sale! We made out with lots of awesome purchases. We felt very safe the entire time. Everyone was in masks and kept their distance. I would recommend this store to any anthro lover, as well as anyone looking for a unique shopping experience! read more

I stopped in here to browse and waste time - at least I convinced myself that's what would happen but nope... The layout of the store is welcoming, the cacophony of scents was inviting and the associates were fairly friendly... Needless to say, my "browsing" turned into shopping... The displays were neat and the fitting rooms are clean and have great lighting. The prices are moderate and the offerings are unique... if you've never shopped Anthropologie, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

How many people shop here and mutter, "In my dream house..." or most commonly, "If my bank account had more zeros..." PRO TIP: If you have to use the loo, ask for a Beautiful Sales Rep to organize it for you. It's on the second floor behind an unmarked door next to the elevator. You can't get in unless someone unlocks it for you. Time your pee break accordingly - it took a few minutes for one of the Beautiful Sales Reps to float her way over. Lots of expensive, gorgeous stuff here. I splurged on a lovely smelling candle that was on sale. I will only light it in my home if you are nice to me. Home goods and sale items are on the ground floor. Use the elevator if you have a hard time with stairs. read more

Literally my favorite Anthro experience. It's a beautiful store with great staff. Clean, spacious, organized and staff that wants to help read more

This location is stunning and you can smell their candle wall the minute you step through the door. I was immediately welcomed and asked if I was looking for something in particular. I said no because I was browsing for a birthday gift for a good friend of mine. The store is very orderly, but do keep in mind it has four floors so their are quite a feed steps. Housewares and BHLDN are in the basement and the top floor holds the sale items. All the employees were very kind and gave suggestions. The store was well stocked and not too busy. I ended up grabbing a couple clothing items for my friend and a little trinket container and dried lavender for myself. Pleasant experience! read more

If you like Anthropologie, you HAVE to visit the flagship store in Rittenhouse Square. It was an experience. I was derailed. Normally, I head straight for the sales section. No exceptions. Except this store is huge and I was repeatedly derailed by pretty, little things. There were 4 levels, including the basement. The top floor is bed, bath, and perfumes. The Anthropologie buyers have gathered a fabulous collection of delicious scents and knickknacks. The second floor has clothes and some stationary, including Orla Kiely. They also have Orla handbags. The first floor houses the cash registers, jewelry, and more clothes. I finally found the sale section on the ground floor along with more gorgeous chinaware, kitchen items, etc. This is definitely a boyfriend-friendly store. Even if you're not interested in the store's contents, you'd be amazed at how the store has used the original historic(?) building's layout and architecture to its advantage. read more

Wow. This particular store is HUGE and absolutely gorgeous. There are 4 floors: 2.5 of mostly clothing, half of the first floor are accessories, and the basement is home essentials and bridal/formalwear. So they really have a nice selection of anything you need to buy. The staff is warm and receptive, the clothes are hip and trendy, and the rest of the store has super cute accessories/home decor that will add a nice touch to any home or apartment. They even have a large sales section on the top floor that is very reasonably priced. I'd definitely recommend coming to this store, if not for the shopping then at least for the views! This is now one of my favorite places in Rittenhouse and I will be coming back here again soon! read more

Anthropologie - First floor near the cashier - Women's Clothing Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Anthro is definitely one of my all time favorite stores EVER! Their entire collection of home decor, accessories, candles and clothes is so thoughtfully curated with a certain bohemian-esque, naturally chic, trendy, yet classic aesthetic. This location also carries bridal! And oh my goodness it is all so gorgeous! I adored my wedding dress but dang, I wish they had their BHLDN label available back then! Every dress is super romantic and feminine. They also have bridal lingere, swimsuits, veils, shoes and headbands. I always find myself drifting to this section when I'm shopping here. They politely ask me if I need help and I get embarrassed as I'm an old wifey at this point and quickly walk away with flushed cheeks. Brides, run here! I truly cherish every piece I purchase here. All so unique and definitely more special pieces versus run of the mill department store items that everyone will have. You just feel a little extra special wearing something form Anthro. I still have the 1st dress I ever purchased here and that was for the first wedding I attended with my husband, then BF 10 years ago! I'm definitely not one to hold onto clothes that long, but I still love it as much as the day I bought it. Anthro has also been know to collaborate with designers from all over the world! They partnered up with one of my favorites Mara Hoffman. You never what's around the corner.... Their housewares are possibly my favorite! Ordinary items absolutely beautifully designed. Kitchen Goods, planters, candles, linen napkins, throw pillows, comforters. It's all so lovely! Anything from here makes a truly lovely gift. In fact, I hit Anthro up every holiday season! Prices can be a bit much but really, quality is key. Customer service is top notch. You will be greeted the second you walk through the door. They will start fitting rooms for you so you don't have to carry your goods around. They communicate via walkie and will contact someone on another floor to help you find what you're looking for. They also offer personal shopping! As a former visual merchandiser for years I can certainly appreciate not only the ever changing amazing window displays, but the carefully merchandised products, as well as the seasonal displays! They are on top of everything! I mean I most recently visited on a Sunday then two days later and everything was fresh and re-merchandised. This building alone is absolutely STUNNING! For those who remember way back to the 90's this was the flagship location of Urban Outfitters, who is a sister to Anthro. I used to sneak down here in middle school and blow my entire allowance on one awesome item! From the entrance to the decorated elevator, to the spiral staircase, to the faux fireplaces, hanging mobile and stained glass Tiffany-esque rotunda! Wow! That space alone is worthy of a visit. Being situated across from beautiful Rittenhouse Square Park isn't too shabby either! If you're from out of town and have never been to this gorgeous location, I highly recommend it! Anthro, along with Free People, Urban Outfitters, BHLDN, and Terrain are all owned by the same company which goes by URBN. Their headquarters are right here in Philly! I absolutely LOVE this! In the last few years they moved offices from Columbus Blvd to a beautiful space in the Naval Yard. Their company is very laid back, allowing their employees to even bring along pups to work! So cool! I can certainly get behind a company like that! *If they don't have something you're looking for in stock they will ship it to your house free of charge. *Sign up for their emails. They run great sales around the holidays and their catalogs make for great coffee table browsing material. read more

Shopping shmopping, there's a significant sales section on the third floor. The historical building itself is worth admiring from within.

This store is wonderful!!! Please note this one star is for Anthropologie's online business. I received their face masks online and they were not the same prints as advertised online. I gave them 2 stars and nicely explained why I was disappointed. No swearing. No mean spirited review. Anthropologie still has not posted my review. Curiously, a 5 star review popped up 15 minutes after mine. When I thought I must have done something wrong in posting my review the site kept acknowledging that I made one. Poorly done Anthropologie! Very deceptive! I would have loved to have seen all the other "bad" reviews you failed to post because you disliked what was said. read more

Service is great! Love the shoe selection. Also love the homeward and candle department. Store selection in Shewsbury is incredible

This is a beautiful store at which I've had mixed experiences. The store itself is gorgeous- it's across from Rittenhouse park, beautifully decorated, organized nicely, and always smells like their delicious candles... When you walk in, the first floor is really inviting, with clothing, bags, beauty products, and candles. Downstairs is housewares and BHLDN (their bridal line). I would highly recommend making an appointment, even if you are just browsing for bridesmaid gear, because I went in once looking for just that and they were extremely unhelpful to me. I don't feel like they have the most friendly staff, but I don't let that deter me because they are a really busy location and they have a lot of foot traffic coming in and out. I feel sometimes their lines are long and you're left to wait around, but some of that is other customers being slow and unaware. The clothing is expensive, but they have a fairly robust sale section on the top floor that is usually discounted on top of the sale price. The dressing rooms are also very inviting and comfortable, well maintained, and clean. I don't think retail, especially in this location, is a simple task, and anthro does it well. I think I'd step up the customer service for the prices, but otherwise I do like this store. read more

Love this Anthro location! The store is gorgeous -- 4 levels of clothing, beauty, jewelry and home goods. Great location -- the employees were nice and helpful as well. Lots of fitting rooms so you won't have to wait to try things on. I came in to return a few coasters and ended up grabbing a few cute things for myself! I'll definitely be back for sure! read more

This was a very cute Anthropologie. They had a petites section which no other Anthro I have been in has had. The layout is a bit odd. It is on 3 floors weirdly spread out. The sale area is nicer than most. The fitting rooms are in an out of the way area. The staff is super friendly. All in all a nice shopping experience. read more

Four stars for uniqueness. Not five stars for ripoff. If you are into fashion/clothes and have money, then you will probably shop here and that's cool 'cause you have so much frickn' money it doesn't even matter. In fact, you could probably lose $100 on the subway and not notice. But if you are into fashion/clothes and don't work on Wallstreet, then you know InterMix, Scoop NYC and Anthropologie are all just feeding off consumers who like to elite shop without the research. Meaning: Antro has some really hippy/soft/beautiful threads, but so does Urban if you search. in fact, if you are right out of college with loans but still want to be chic and haven't yet developed an affinity for snobbishness, then you can find the same styles (more or less) and trends at Temptation, Nordstrom Rack or Zara. The craftsmanship and materials at Antro cannot be beat. But for $300 for a sun dress, I think I can take a few loose threads on a $80 dress from Zara. read more

Anthropologie - Women's Clothing Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Even though the prices are out of this world as in $$$ the selection this year for the fall is amazing, cute and very "Mad Men" flavoring -my fav AMC show! They are now carrying these delicious light fragrances called Tokyomilk priced at $28 for 1 oz. (I suggest buying the sample pack which is only $49 online at http://theperfumedcourt.com/Products/TokyoMilk-Set-of-Eighteen-1ml-Samples__TOKYOMILK12SAMPLER.aspx) Also Lovin the selection of cute sweaters (see photo I added) with lots of layers, embroidery, buttons - soft material a plus. I ended buying the reading glasses tres cool by A.J. Morgan and getting them replaced with my prescription reading lenses. Only $28 for the glasses with "Modern Eye" styling. A deal! I also ended buying the cute lambs wool flapper style hat which covered my ears - a must for the winter. The clothing selection was to die for but over my budget. I'll have to wait till they go on sale or better yet; catch a consignment deal. Some trustfundian will surely get a gift she doesn't like and sell it at Green Street or Buffalo Exchange. Also a great place to catch J. Crew deals too! Why buy retail? Update: I bought those stupid samples. they are so small its not worth it. Just pick a few you like its a better deal. read more

Anthropologie - Sweater Fall 2008-09 - Women's Clothing Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I am a long time Anthropologie customer and have often frequented this location with no problems but after my unsettling experience today I am not sure I will be returning. I came into the store planning to make a return so I had my item in an anthro bag, but before heading to the register I wanted to look around and see if there was anything to purchase. I don't usually pay attention to my surroundings that much when I'm shopping but it's hard to not notice when you are being watched. I was looking at the jewelry (located near the checkout line) and saw from the corner of my eye that the worker who welcomed me at the entrance kept turning back towards my direction as if she was watching me. Then when I moved upstairs and was trying on stuff in one of the mirrors two more workers passed by and "happened to" stop and stand behind/around me. I noticed this because I saw them frequently glancing/looking at me from their reflection in the mirror I was using. I know these people are just trying to do their job and be on the look out but I really didn't appreciate being made to feel like I was a criminal. It didn't make for an enjoyable shopping experience and also made me feel like I was being flagged just because I had an anthro bag in my hand or maybe because of the way I looked?! If holding an anthro bag in the store is such a threat then have customers leave their bag at the counter but don't make your workers stalk them around the store. It's insulting. This store needs to train their workers to be a little less conspicuous when they are trying to monitor for shop lifting so they don't end up alienating more customers. read more

This is a great ambience, great store and location! However, the variety of items was just not my style. I generally like anthro for their uniqueness and fashion forward style but this one I felt was not really that great. Ambience - 5/5...really great overall Clothing choices- 1/5 sorry but I just couldn't find anything Bottom line...come in for the fun ambience...clothes and home selection could be improved read more

1. I am a frequent Anthropologie shopper. To say the least, this is NOT my favorite location. 2. Last time I shopped from this location, a security device was left on my sweater and embarrassingly went off while I was walking out the store with my PURCHASE. Shortly after the device is removed with ZERO apology. 3. Racial Profiling - when you're a frequent Anthropologie shopper and spend hundreds of dollars at this location, the stares and feeling as if someone is watching you is appalling and played out. This is why I will not be spending my money here. read more

This location has definitely made me a big time Anthropologie lover! Not only does the store have just about everything I could want, but it is just gorgeous both on the outside and inside. A short stairwell will lead you up to the entrance, and there you will find yourself four floors full of clothing, jewelry, accessories, and home decor to browse through (don't be alarmed about the four floors - they have an elevator if necessary!). The store is organized very well so you know exactly where to go to for what. The friendly staff will also gladly help you with that which leads me to my next point... Staff is so sweet and helpful. Aside from their initial "hello", they won't really come to you unless you go to them first. I personally really appreciate that because I get very bothered when I'm constantly hounded by staff when trying to shop! I will definitely be keeping Anthropologie on my list of places to stop at whether I'm doing some retail therapy of my own or buying holiday gifts! :) Ps, if you're looking for some good deals, check out the fourth floor! Their clearance isle never lets me down! read more

Within hours of Anthropologie moving into this beautiful mansion years ago, I was there sifting through the racks of frocks and caressing the housewares. Mine is a long-standing love affair with this store, which is packed with items that exude charm and a definite perspective. By far, my favorite Anthropologie department is housewares. From here, my first frilly retro apron came (more than 10 years ago, and it is still ticking). More recently, we acquired coffee mugs fashioned to resemble 1920's shaving mugs, beautiful hand-painted ceramic measuring spoons, and lovely brightly-glazed rice bowls. Here, one can find a diversity of housewarming and hostess gifts covering at a wide price range. Highly recommend. read more

Anthropologie - Some of our favorite things from Anthropologie. - Women's Clothing Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I am a long time Anthro customer, who even worked in this store around 17 years ago. I no longer live in the area and had not been to this store for several years. I was shocked and dismayed at how much the quality has gone down - both in terms of the items, and in the decoration and artistry in this particular store. Walking into this store used to be like a respite in the middle of the city - gorgeous and soothing. Not any more. This store used to have beautiful and artistic displays, and the clothes would be presented and styled with care, but now it just looks cheap and overcrowded. The jewelry in particular this season looks like something you would find at a mall kiosk. i was also shocked to find all the furniture is gone! Previously, the items from Anthro Home would be arranged around the store, creating a rich and cozy atmosphere - after all, this particular store did used to be someone's home. Considerable space is now taken up on one floor by a very bland-looking bridal section, completely devoid of any of the elegance that used to define Anthro. Also, no more lit candles around the store, which was always one of the hallmarks. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Imagine. It's early fall, the air is crisp. In a tiny bistro in the Marais, you are sipping a café-au-lait. Nibbling on a pain de chocolat, you are halfway through reading Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun also Rises". A lone accordion player is churning out tourist friendly tunes à-la-Edith Piaf nearby. Set scene... That is what Anthropologie sells. Dreamy, feminine, european, shabby-bohemian chic. From measuring cups, to bedding, soaps, upholstered furniture, shoes, books, undergarments, bags and apparel a-plenty - this flagship store offers to dress up your lifestyle from A to Z. It's hard not to swoon in this gorgeous historical corner property; an airy, well-lit perfect four floor venue in which they sell their wares. The store constantly reconfigures their product lines to keep it fresh and new. With the addition of more ample change rooms on the fourth floor, you can start on the basement floor (where they currently have all the sale merchandise in the back) and move your way up. They carry a wide range of designers (Nanette Lepore, Marimekko, odille, Tracey Reese, Moth, Ella Moss, Maeve, Fei, Moulinette Soeurs to name a few) with similar esthetics and price points. The visual merchandisers are always spot on with beautiful, innovative and fantastical displays. The background music is appropriate (they seem to like a lot of french and jazzy tunes) and most importantly their staff is friendly and attentive (and stylish, of course!) without being overbearing. The place is also perfect for a housewarming gift (basement floor for homewares). Few gripes: their inventory caters more towards the slimmer girl, so don't expect to find many sizes that accomodate the curvier woman. The sale section in the store is often a bit of a free-for-all and their shoe selection isn't kept well for the price that they charge even at a sale price. I usually go to this store on Monday or Tuesday evenings when I have the luxury to stroll around in peace without the crowds, gather armfuls of stuff to try on and hope that when wearing my potential wardrobe it will take me back to Paris. read more

I know it's silly to love a place where EVERY SHIRT is $100 and EVERY DRESS is $300, whether it's by Tracy Reese or some nameless gal in Guatemala, but I do. And the Philly store is the mothership! I get ants in my pants whenever I drive up to Philly, knowing no matter what I'll be heading to Walnut Street, whether it's pre-dinner, pre-club mess or the next day. It's four stories of overpriced bliss. I don't care, I always walk out of there feeling extra girly... and trust me a smoking, drinking, 30-something who still doesn't know how to put on make up the right way needs that from time to time! read more

Damn you, URBN. I want to hate you so badly. Not only do you underpay my talented friends, most of your nigh-on disposable products are made by even more flagrantly underpaid people on other continents! Yet you continue to define the aesthetic of millions of design-conscious people. Including myself, le sigh. Though there are always new, covetable pieces by Urban Outfitter's youthful house brands, Anthropologie's soft-focus, post-preppy prettiness speaks to women of many ages and cultures. The day before Thanksgiving, that flurry of femininity kept the registers cha-chinging for hours on end. The fact that employee discounts are extended to card-bearing, photo-I.D. producing friends and family this week also had something to do with it, I suspect. This particular Anthro is housed in a historic Rittenhouse Square mansion and stuffed with women's apparel, accessories, hilariously spendy shoes, housewares, a lifetime's supply of scented candles and the famous Basement Sale Room. It's the first location I ever visited (when it used to be Urban years ago) and still my favorite. The perfect place to buy a gift for your favorite femme à la mode. read more

Of all the Anthropologie stores in the country, this one's my favorite because of two reasons: the interior design/architecture and the sale section. The interior is like Alice In Wonderlad meets The Secret Garden. It calls to the inner girl in me that loves Disneyland and dainty things that sparkle. I love that it's on 4 split levels so it breaks up the space, but then my thighs feel the burn when I have to walk up the stairs (I call it my excercise for the week). The best part is the sale section. I've stopped looking at the other floors so I don't tempt myself with things I can't afford and go straight to the basement. My closet prized possessions have come from the sale section - 2 Moulinette Soeurs dresses for $40 each and a pair of seafoam green wedges for $30. It's my favorite because it includes not only clothes and shoes (the only Anthro store I've been to that has a sale shoe section), but also bedding, homewares, and knicknacks. It gets busy on the weekends, lots of snooty girls and their snootier moms for some reason. But whatever, I'll bust a cap for those pair of size 7 sandals thankyouverymuch. Note: The basement level doesn't get good cell phone reception. I found that out when the bf was trying to call me for an hour and got po'd when I didn't pick up. Meh.. small sacrifice. read more
