What's better than splurging without hurting your bank account and treated highly? Here are some of my highlighted purchases that I have added to my wardrobe collection.

This place is an importer of fine fur, leather, italian wool suits and silk products among others…read more Surprisingly, it is located in a Chinese neighborhood. The prices for the fur and leather garments are considerably cheaper than department stores, but of very high quality. The middle eastern owner claimed that he bought directly from the factories. I received a fur garment as a gift and was not sure whether it was real or not, so I was told to do a burn test. Genuine fur would singe and smell like human hair. It burns into ashes. Fake Fur melts and smells like burnt plastic and forms small plastic balls at the ends that feel hard between the finger and thumb. I took a small patch of fur and burned it! Sure enough, it burned into ashes. Personally, I'd not buy these fur products myself though they look great, because of animal protection. But, if you absolutely need a genuine fur product, this is a place to shop for a good deal. Last word, it seems that some products had been in store for a long time and collected dust. When you try them on, make sure to dust it off first.

I am slowly replacing items we lost in the Eaton fire, and not only did I find some nice jewelry pieces, they had a lovely vintage Hawaiian dress that brought back a flood of nostalgic memories. On top of that, J and R were so kind and gave me some items to help us on our rebuilding journey. They showed remarkable kindness and warmth to a random customer, and they really were a highlight of my week! They took time out of their day to listen and make recommendations, and their store is a real oasis of treasures and positivity. It's well with everyone's time to stop by, check their stock and support a local business!

My husband stopped by looking for a mannequin (don't ask:)) to put a t-shirt and hat on of a band I…read morehave been listening to on a loop for a very long time. I actually didn't know he even realized it. He stopped by this store just down the hill from where we live and they were so helpful. They were able to accommodate and found just what he was looking for. Now the problem is, I swear, wherever I go she is watching me. My dogs think so too as they peek around the corner to see if she's still there. He stopped by to thank them today and they asked him to pick out something for me. He walked in the house so proud with a new gift. It just happened to be Valentine's Day, so it worked out great for him. :) Thank you so much!! He enjoyed shopping at your store (he's the shopper in the family) as much as I loved the gift.

The ambiance of the store made me feel comfortable -- the dim lighting and spacing of everything felt welcoming and not too crowded. Great selection, I found everything I needed. Love the fitting rooms especially, how you can adjust the lighting and music volume. It made me feel like I could take my time a little more in there rather than feeling rushed. I saw a bunch of negative reviews on the associates, but I honestly felt everyone was friendly and accommodating. Didn't run into any issues!

Dear Abercrombie & Fitch Customer Care,…read more I am writing to report an extremely concerning incident at your Santa Anita / Arcadia store on November 23 around 6:30 PM. The store manager's behavior was unprofessional, rude, and completely unacceptable. She spoke down to an associate over an incorrectly processed return and, when I asked if she was okay, she glared at me, used a harsh tone, and said "say it to my face" two or three times. I did respond directly, because I would not be intimidated by someone behaving so aggressively. She also accused me of being rude and told me I was "talking too much," even after I retrieved my own phone, which I had handed to her only to review a transaction. I work in retail myself and understand how stressful the holiday season can be, but nothing justifies this level of hostility toward customers or employees. Her behavior made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable, and it reflects poorly on Abercrombie & Fitch. The other employees at this location--and at Abercrombie stores in general--are consistently professional, kind, and helpful, which makes this manager's conduct stand out as unacceptable. I strongly urge that her behavior be addressed immediately, including appropriate training or disciplinary action. This type of conduct cannot be tolerated if Abercrombie & Fitch expects to maintain the excellent customer service reputation that your other employees exemplify. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

In a world where transactions are more often than not digital, a handwritten note provides a light, but effective counterbalance to this trend. At the store, the rep happily walked me through the options, noting some of the snark and sass behind the artwork and text. Matter of fact, there were lots of wonderfully odd items there, such as the feet finger puppets I played with while waiting in line. They especially boasted a strong collection of vintage women's clothing with vibrant colors and unique designs easily able to grab the attention of anyone walking by. As for the card, I narrowed it down to Darth Vader, Chewbacca, or Arthur, finally deciding to choose the path of the resistance with Chewie.

Shopping in El Monte, Los Angeles, California…read more.. Because today is ten percent off day (Tuesday) for customers who are age 55 and up, I thought that I should get a new cable for my phone to connect with the rental car. My old cable is frayed and cuts off when it's in a different angle. I did look at some other departments like pet supplies and art materials, but I don't really have space in my luggage. Plus... tax in California is higher than Hawaii's 4.712 percent tax! I found a rapid charge cable for a low price... plus ten percent off... and it works great!

I keep giving this Ross a chance. It's only a half a mile from my house, so I'm influenced by…read moreconvinence. I spend too much money there to be treated so rudely by the employees. The only English speaking employees are located in front of the store (that's what I've been told on more then one occasion) I couldn't find anywhere to try on some shoes after walking around, continue shopping (and picking up all the items and products that are all over the aisles that you can't walk through unless you clean it up yourself or backup in reverse and avoid the aisle completely. Then someone's dog urinated in one of the aisles, I didn't see it and my shopping cart wheels rolled over the urine and the wheels went from jacked up, hard to push (build up of grime, hair, dust balls, thread) to lubricated, slip and slide, grabbed onto the aisle shelf to prevent from bottoming out on my ass. There were employees nearby talking to the owners of the dog, as the manager was approaching and made eye contact with me as I was standing right there in front of that aisle. NOT ONE PERSON ACKNOWLEDGED, NOR APOLOGIZED TO ME. The Asian man that owned the dog sneezed and by habit I automatically loudly say"BLESS YOU!" to him. He stares at me, rudely and almost disgusted. I then proceed to let the employee know that I am not going to keep standing next to this puddle of urine (to make sure that no one else would slip or step in it) -- I still tried finding somewhere to try on the shoes in the shopping cart, I asked the Fitting Room lady, who told me to go up front to the register and ask them "they will know" -- like I'm going to stand in a long line with a few pairs of shoes to get up to the cashier to ask where I can try on these shoes, am I supposed to sit on the ground in front of the cashier and hold up the people in line behind me. That's ridiculous and not logical. So when my boyfriend arrived after getting money out of ATM, he meets up with me in the back of store, almost near the left corner. He went over to the furniture section of store and to bring me a chair for me to sit on so I can try on the shoes, as it was looking like it was going to be me on the floor. On his way back with the chair he stepped on one of those sharp, thick, tack/pin that they use to remove the security tags. This tack went threw his sneaker and sock and he took off his shoe and had to struggle to remove the tack, the bottom heel of his foot was bleeding. My bf is very soft spoken and didn't even complain, he did approach a nearby associate and told them what happened. They didn't speak English and took the tack from him. I mentioned something to the cashier as we were paying. Wasn't rude to any of the employees. Just in utter shock of the lack of care and accountability. Guess a tendonitis shot is in order this week. It's a shame, I worked many years for ROSS in South Florida back in the 2000's. I left that job on great terms. When I first moved to El Monte three years ago and spoke to the front desk employees about applying for a job there and I was told it'd be very difficult to work there unless I was bilingual (then I could have work in front of store /cashier) or if I only spoke Spanish then I'd be doing back of the store like stocking shelves and backroom work. Well .. my disability that prevents me from getting hired is that I only speak English. There's no employees like that there. Even with my past work experience with ROSS with a letter dated 2008 with high recommendations from my previous store manager, still has no merit. To think I'm qualified but won't even be considered due to my language barrier of English only. I'm hoping someone from corporate or the district of this location in El Monte would reach out to me to further discuss my concerns about feeling discrimination as a loyal customer that has spent way too much money there and also the discrimination of not having a fair opportunity for employment.
