I've purchased shirts in the past for my kids, which were good quality and held up well in the wash. I have three kids ages 7, 4, and 1, so my youngest is in a stroller. The last few visits, we've been spoken to very rudely and followed very closely like we're going to do something bad. It's a very uncomfortable feeling, and I'd rather go to any other shop on the circle. It's also not just one individual it's happened with, but two (an older man and an older woman). We're locals and visit the circle regularly, but I have no desire to go into this store anymore. I feel it's necessary to add that I supervise my children in the stores, and I do not allow them to touch anything or be disrespectful to people or merchandise.

We are back in town and I went to go get a new one to replace the one that got ruined because it's my favorite sweatshirt. I walked up and an old man was cleaning the floors. Pointed to his watch and told me they were closed, I showed him my clock on my phone and said you have 15 more minutes, he shrugged and turned away from me. They have a website but it's very limited and doesn't have the sweatshirt I was looking to replace. Thanks for saving me the money.

While we never did see any Vineyard Vines clothing (not to say it isn't in there) we did see similar styles and immediately gravitated towards the bright and fun colors of some Southern Tide swim trunks. Aside from men's clothing, Island Pursuit also has styles for women and for kids. Everything seemed to be colorful and fun and in the theme of coastal, nautical and resort ware. Being familiar with many of the brands they carry, like Toad & Co and Tommy Bahama, I know they specialize in higher-end, quality styles.

Lilly Pulitzer Siesta Key Siesta Village Plaza…read more5118 Ocean Blvd Sarasota, FL 34242 Though it be little, its fierce! I've shopped this location since its opening & ever after. We've shopped St.Armands which is 5x size but 1/4 personality. My mama is an islander local on SK, she shops weekly. We've seen a lot come & go over time. Prints & styles, people too. Watched employees who're there to dip toes in retail b4 they know what they'll want to do, b4 they sink or swim, all the way to the ones who're doing what they love for a company/culture that's engrained in them. Out of all the "seasons" I've never been so impressed & truly enamored by a Lilly employee. This store has a gem, she be little herself, but full in heart & mind with her knowledge & passion for this iconic brand. Her name is Madeline. She is a glowing, kind & genuine soul, smiling, walking rolodex of all seasons Lilly. All styles Lilly. Past & present. The lady knows all regular & repeat customers favorites, tastes, knows every single piece name, even for helping just the walk in first timer, future Lilly lover, shopper. She is knowledgeable for not just ladies, but men & littles too, which means so much bc I'm a mama & a wife, so I need help with them all. I'll call the store from states away & give her a pathetic description, within seconds she rattles off what i'm looking for, whether they have it, & if not sources the item for me! She's a walking billboard for Lilly's brand. She lives and represents the brand. Brains and beauty. Inside and out. Very professional! She could run the store blind folded, front end & back. Down to styling the mannequins to give customers inspiration for putting together whole looks. I honestly never thought someone was more meant for a career in this business. I've seen her walk circles around what her managers have tried helping me with. I've literally drop jawed @ watching her upper management asking her advice on basic Lilly info to assist me when they've approached me to ask if i need help. Makes me smile & hits home, because she's so young. it reminds me of where I started in my career, I worked in vet pharmaceuticals & ag. I was a female & youngest & nobody took a girl in my line of work seriously, but little did they know I grew up with fire & passion for the culture, people, & industry I was in. So I was more invested & more an asset because I was living out my passion! I feel a kindred soul with Madeline. I hope she is never taken for granted because of her age, size, or sex, because she is the secret ingredient to that location! So there's my two cents on the MVP of the siesta key store. But I won't leave out that Batman always has a Robin & Lilly Pulitzer herself, always had Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Well, if Madeline is Lilly, then Michelle is her Jackie O.! That lady is the happiest most soak it all up (learning Lilly) walking sunshine I've seen! I visit with kids & all in tow. She's always smiling & chatting my babies up. She's a retired teacher of over 25 years. What I'd call a whistle while you work kind of employee. She can be steaming dresses, folding & placing new inventory, but never misses a chance to talk with my children and my family. She looks so excited seeing us try on items like she's opening a gift on Christmas every time we come out of the dressing room to show her & Madeline our newest finds. My kids are 7 & 8, their whole life I've taken them everywhere shopping. Lilly SK's always been a place I knew they'd not fuss at having to go. Mostly in part to the fact they offer a kid's coloring table and coloring wall. Our last visit in the store I was saddened to see the new manager had removed all coloring utensils. Michelle saw how sad they were & quickly rectified the situation & made the kids day as well as this mama & gathered some crayons and coloring for them. That same day I overheard the store manager telling a customer she doesn't like prints. How can you say those words under a Lilly roof. My jaw dropped! I'm not sure if it's going to be the best fit for that lady. Lilly IS loving prints, Brights, & a whole lotta Sunshine. Bless the best of that location!
