Store under new management - bad news for SH/AV locals…read more.. While the new People People owners seem lovely, what happened to our favorite store? This used to be a shore STAPLE! Where did 70% of the inventory go? What about accessories, shoes, bags? What about the luxury items for a special event? Home accessories? Sale rack? It's so DRASTICALLY different...and NOT good. What a bummer. They should not have kept the name... Guess we'll all be saving a lot of money moving forward...

I grew up in nearby Cape May Court House and always loved perusing the crowded, vibrant racks at…read morePeople People. This past year, new owners took over the shop. I was looking forward to see how they would put their spin on a classic boutique in Stone Harbor. They still have a Lilly selection, although it's so much smaller than it used to be. I loved seeing some Instagram favorite brands like Farm Rio and The Striped Sheep in the racks, but like a previous reviewer indicated, I was missing the usual volume of fun inventory, cute, whimsical things you would only be able to find at the shore. It felt more like the boutiques I encounter in Manhattan. I also missed the warmth toward the customers. Not a single associate interacted with my mother and I when we browsed, which was incredibly disappointing for two, loyal People People customers.

This is THE best place to shop for women's clothes and accessories at the shore! Easily accessible…read moreas its right off the craziness of the main drag in Stone Harbor, Christine Shirley is a artfully-styled and well organized boutique with so many fashionable, beachy, and beautiful options to choose from! The owners, and staff are sweet as can be, always happy to help you with recommendations and style suggestions based on what you're looking for, what's currently in style, or what they think you'd like based on your look. Every time I go here, I can't help but find an adorable must-have, either clothes or accessories. There is also a store in Wayne that's outstanding as well, but open in the Fall-Spring. Stop by, you'll love it!

I find that the price on most garments is reasonable and sometimes you can get a great deal on clearance items too. I purchased a beautiful beaded cover up on clearance years ago that is so pretty I can wear it as a top with something underneath. On this trip I found 2 cute zipper super soft robes with fun seashore/summer prints. They are baby soft and have pockets. I sure couldn't argue with the price on clearance for 21$, not in a town that charges over 30$ for a stone harbor t shirt. Making Waves carries very pretty Stone Harbor T shirts for a mere 14$, in the past I've gotten some nice sweatshirts with "Stone Harbor" printed on a soft green fabric. When I was there this week, I have to agree with the other reviewer, the cashier wasn't terribly friendly. She had her back turned to me and was conducting a conversation with another employee. She reluctantly turned around to ring my purchase up. I almost felt as though they felt that they were doing me a favor by selling me 2 garments. Unfortunately on this last visit I would say that the customer service was lacking. May just be a "one off" as most of my experiences have been positive. The cashier and someone else (maybe the owner?) were bantering about another employee who apparently didn't know what they were doing - something about her first time "closing". Not very professional to me, complaining about another employee- ok- if she did a lousy job maybe talk about her behind her back off the sales floor? I would still go back because I like the selection. Whoever does the purchasing for this store has incredible taste! Excellent colors, beautiful ageless styles for all. The prices are good and not "museum" SH prices aka 200+ dollars for a dress or pair of pants- which is utter nonsense to this girl. I know it can get boring in retail- especially on a slow day with barely anyone in the store. I visited 7/9/19 in the afternoon.

I have shopped in the bryn Mawr store in the past and have pieces that have lasted decades. I purchased my first pair of Mother pants and jeans here and I have been hooked. But want to say- today was lovely. While I didn't make a purchase- Joyce helped me and was just beyond. She was helping me, another woman AND navigating a customer on the phone. And never did I feel like I was second rate. I tried on three pairs of jeans. None worked. But she cared and asked me why and understood. I know I will be back to see what other amazing finds they have this season. I got to reminisce about my first Autumn Cashmere piece I bought from Skirt so many years ago and was thrilled to see that had a summer selection- ladies it's worth the price. Will be a piece you will cherish for years. Look for Joyce. She treats everyone with kindness and attention and just made me feel so special. And I didn't even make a purchase this time. Thank you Skirt for hiring such thoughtful staff- it's not an easy find I am sure!

The thing that makes this shop different is they have a full size embroidery machine on site. The quality of their garments is very high and the embroidery can be personalized with a very quick turnaround. They carry some other high quality and different designers with sea and beach themes. When you purchase items from this small business, the owner and her family are the ones who will wait on you and make sure you are happy. The price point is about the same as other beachwear type shops, and the quality is quickly apparent when you see and feel the garments. If you are in Stone Harbor make sure to get off the main shopping street and up a block to find the Happy Hunt right on the corner!

The owner told me this is her 3rd location and she only recently opened in this location 2 months ago. The shop is beautifully appointed and items are displayed attractively. I purchased a really cute pair of pants at sale price, but for the most part items are unique and priced accordingly. This is a store for a discerning customer who appreciates fine things that can't be found elsewhere and is willing to pay for them. This shop has fine shoes, purses, accessories and clothing items for women. There are items for a younger demographic but the mature shopper will be very enticed by the items in the shop. The location of the shop is next to a long time Stone Harbor women's clothing store, Gingy's, Stephanie's, an upscale gift shop and the Happy Hunt, a locally themed beachwear shop. It is definitely a shop to visit when you venture off the main shopping street a block up.
