Visited Manifest in Carmel Valley for the first time. It's an adorable boutique neatly packed with…read moreconsigned clothes, purses, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories. I was mostly interested in the purses, as usual, and spent most of the time I was there checking them out. They have two large bookcases stuffed with bags, plus there are more spread around the store. Some of the designers are Prada, Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Vera Bradley, Marc Jacobs, and more. I was helped by the most wonderful sales associate named Wendy. She was so friendly and kind that she made it a joy to shop there. I ended up buying a pink boho scarf that was on sale for 50% off. Looking forward to returning to Manifest with my mom and sisters, who I think will like it as much as I did.

I had an extremely unpleasant experience at Manifest and will not be returning…read more The pricing system is deceptive and predatory. The price tags have three different prices listed on them, and the system is not clearly explained. The owner mentioned it very briefly, and from what I gathered, the bottom price (the cheapest number) was the final price. Based on that understanding, I selected my items. When I went to check out, the total she gave me seemed unusually high. After reviewing the receipt, I noticed several items didn't align with the prices I believed were indicated on the tags, which she cut off. I went back to the counter simply asking for clarification. Instead of calmly explaining, the owner became very hostile. She told me she "didn't have time for this" and said my questions were going to "mess everything up." She then pulled me outside of the store and spoke to me as if I were a delinquent or a child being scolded, which was completely inappropriate and humiliating. She even said, "It may be harder for you to understand," which was insulting and condescending. She went on to say that giving me a refund would be a, "shit show and mess up the whole inventory system" and that her clients would be pissed placing blame on me for a misunderstanding caused by her misleading and poorly communicated pricing system. The last thing anyone wants when they walk into a store is a lecture on how pricing works. You're there to shop and enjoy yourself not to be pulled aside, talked down to, or pestered by the shop owner because their pricing system isn't clear. Although she ultimately gave me a refund, it only happened after she made me feel small and criminal for asking a reasonable question. I have never experienced customer service like this at any other thrift store let alone any other business. Customers should not be made to feel intimidated or embarrassed for questioning confusing pricing. Proceed with caution if you shop here.

This isn't a very time consuming visit because it's really like two rooms total. It's perfect for a…read morequick "I want to shop but don't have a ton of time" stop. I thought that I wouldn't find anything to my taste until I went by the jewelry. I found this earrings and necklace set for $8 total. It might be carnelian(?) but I'm not entirely sure. The chain is definitely plated so I'm going to switch it out (also because it's a bit rigid to work with/open) for a better one, but I'm really impressed by this set for the price. My hometown thrifts just have junk jewelry. Even if this is costume jewelry, the quality feels better than the average piece. I went to a lot of benefit shops in Carmel when I was there and checked their jewelry selection but this was by far the best.

I don't know why this is, but is extremely obvious that they are overdoing it. Very dated used garments way over priced. I understand some are good brands but some vests & dresses are priced @ i50$ or more even though they are frayed & worn. I honestly hope they reconsider bc most of my local friends that used to rave about this store, no longer recommend it. Someone in there who is responsible for this very obvious price hikes need to stop it back, you are certainly overdoing it; even with your 50% off days, ITS OVER PRICED!!!!!!!!!

Not like some thrift stores where you take the risk of an accident or tripping over random junk on the floor.

Everything seemed to be put in its place with a nice selection of items. Last words...new to me.

I took a break from driving down the 101 because of terrible traffic and found my way to old town. I went into Rooms In Bloom because I needed a nice Birthday gift for my Mother and this store seemed to have a very nice selection. This is right up her alley. I like a lot of the things too, but my style is a little more modern...and maybe funky? I got her a cute re-usable Lunch bag, and a tube of fancy scented hand cream, but I could have easily gotten a few more things like beautiful candles, a really nice tray, 3-wick candles, pajamas that were adorable, dishtowels, and more. If you're wondering, yes, my Mom is the sort of lady who loves to decorate her home, cook, and garden. It was hard to choose something on a budget, but the lady working was cute and nice and just let me browse without bothering me, but agreeing with me when I oohed- and-aahed over all the stuff. I also bought myself a couple of hair clips. I like stores that sort of divide their goods into themes or 'genres' and they do this here. I didn't have much time to browse the kids section, but they had a cute area of the store for children and babies. Perfect for shower shopping. Okay I think I said cute about 3 times in this review- do you get the point!? Also, it smells good!
