I love coming by here to look at their selection of fountain pens, inks, journaling supplies, and especially stamps! I hope they continue to add more varieties of washi tapes and stamps to their store as it's my new current obsession! Their prices are always reasonable and their workers are always super friendly. I love chatting with them whenever I visit :) Also love that they host fun learning workshop classes and events! Definitely check out their website for upcoming scheduled events if you're interested. There's a parking garage behind the corner of the street where the wall art is, which is typically free for 90 minutes I believe.

CUTE INDEPENDENT SHOP (4 stats)…read more There isn't much happening in downtown Santa Ana but there are a few hidden gems. Did I overhear that this place has been oven for ~10 years?! I stumbled upon this shop while walking around the small downtown and as I walked more east I questioned should I turn around? Right when I was able to this store popped in view and I had to go in! What a cute shop if you are into stationary and pens and etc. I love supporting small independent businesses so I was determined to leave with something. There were a collective of independent products from different companies/artists that sell their items here. I didn't expect to leave spending $70.05 on 5 tiny items. WAX SEAL ($20) - by Made of Honour. There weee a handful of styles available. Very nice packaging. SEALING WAX BEADS 100pc ($9) - by Fiona Ariva. Variety of stunning colors. WAX SEAL HANDLE ($9) - by Fiona Ariva. I believe this is the standard size that fits other brands. BOAT PEN CASE ($13) - by Luddite. I been looking for a small compact pen case for my very few ones that i own and this was what I was looking for. ANTERIQUE BALLPOINT PEN ($13) - I love this mini pen and how it writes. The store DOES sell anterique refills BUT not the mini anterique refills that is needed for this pen. You can order the refills online on Amazon. So here's what gets me about shopping here. - California State Tax (0.5%) - Orange County Tax (0.25%) - Santa Ana City Tax (15%) - Orange County District Tax SP (0:5%) - Orange County Tax SL (1%) ^^ Added an additional $5.95 to the initial subtotal. That's alot in my opinion! Cool store, with a checkout. Until the next review....

Met Irma -owner of the place (second generation downtown biz owner) what a hoot! Turns out i ended up buying a hot Polka Dotted number for night out on the Town and a few accessories (hats,jewelry,scarves). I make it a point to go in every week to check the selection of the latest baubles and such. Now shes added a $1 table - I load up! Like the fact that shes open past 6 when all the other shops close- that way you can stop in before or after cocktails downtown.

The Ao Dais here are the most modern and the most trendy ones coming straight from Vietnam!…read more Value : The fabric is so silky & breathable, I wore mine to so many different events and will definitely go back for more in the upcoming years. I have purchased from this store before and have reworn their ao dais on numerous occassions! Definitely great value for a great price! This specific Ao Dai was $60 but for the fabric, it's well worth the cost. No scratchy fabric, no weird creases, only some light steaming needed to straighten out the fabric. Flexibility : The store style is super accomodating and offers in house measurements to get the perfect Ao Dai for your size. Social media presence is strong : I also love that you can find things that you like on their Facebook page, send in your measurements and request to have it saved on the side for pick up. Overall : Great quality supplies, super fast, convenient & friendly service.

I visited Precious Closet on a cousin's recommendation while searching for Vietnamese traditional…read moredress (áo dài). Since it was the tail end of Lunar New Year, the selection wasn't as large as usual, but we still found beautiful áo dài that each of us loved. The store had dresses in every color and style--traditional, two-piece silky sets, and options for men and children of all ages. Sizes ranged from S, M, L to XL and 2XL, and everything we saw was great quality. The neckline and stitching were well made, and I loved the flared sleeves--so much more comfortable than the tight ones I'm used to. One thing I really appreciated is that everything is clearly priced, so there's no need to bargain like in many other Asian shops. It makes the whole shopping experience so much easier and more enjoyable. I highly recommend trying things on because every dress fits differently. There are only three fitting rooms, but each one has heels you can borrow to see your full look with the áo dài--such a thoughtful touch. If you can't find your size, definitely ask one of the helpers; they were all incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. The shop itself is small but truly has everything you need. The owner mentioned that the store is open year-round but only sells traditional dresses during the two months leading up to Lunar New Year. After the holiday, it transitions back into everyday clothing. At checkout, they even give you a small gift, and all your items are packaged neatly in a cute reusable bag--another detail that made the experience feel special. I can't wait to come back in December to get first pick of styles and sizes. Have fun shopping--and Chúc Mừng Năm Mới!

Dare I say this is my favorite, local store since I got into Kpop in 2025? There is jewelry,…read morestationary, photo packs, stickers, and so much more! I want to say all the Kpop bands were represented there. I like being in this store so much. I was able to buy a bunch of stickers and paper cards to create freebies and also to add to my personal collection. It's just the best place, trust me. I get all hyped up with my Kpop love for my bias (group). The place is clean, bright, and the staff is really nice. They are smiling! It's a better value to buy stuff here than the Ktown place, where individual photo cards are like $5+.

TONS of cute jewelry at all price points (earrings/bracelets/anklets/rings/piercing jewelry), hair accessories, socks, handbags, keychains, stationary, blind boxes- and I haven't even mentioned the kpop merch yet! They carry light sticks, cute band hair bows, stickers, keychains and albums! I'm sure I'm missing something because there's SO much to see here! Definitely stop in if you get the chance- I'd be shocked if you walk out empty handed!

Everything is so cute, it's hard not to shop for yourself as well! The owners are truly the sweetest. Every time I come they will gladly provide any recommendations to find the perfect gift! I was looking for a Miffy plush and they helped me find the one! The owners are also very knowledgeable about all their products as they informed me that the specific teddy material I grabbed was being discontinued so this was the last chance to grab it! Parking is plentiful as it's located in the Irvine Skypark business center!

My favorite part here was that when I checked out, the items I picked up were swapped with fresher versions without the price tag sticker. This made it easy to prep as gifts. Will be coming back for more stickers (and hopefully for any Pochacco restock).

While you won't find high quality pieces here, you can find a necklace or something you need for a particular outfit or informal occasion without breaking the bank. Some of the items border on hideous, but there were some necklaces decent enough that I found a couple to buy and got compliments on them. This would be a fun place to take a preteen to, since each item is only a dollar. In the case of you get what you pay for, if you are selective with your choices, you can get more than what you pay for here! I'm a fan because for the price, this is a cool place. Just remember you are only paying a dollar!
