This was seriously one of the best shopping experiences I've ever had. I was helping my mom find a…read moreMother of the Bride dress and I couldn't believe how great the owner was with us! My mom had already gone in with a friend a week prior, and Monroe helped her into DOZENS of dresses that were suited to my mom - and getting her into any dress is hard...the owner is just so good with people! My mom is not a girly woman at all, and she rarely wears dresses or anything like this, but Monroe quickly figured out my mom's preferences and showed her dresses that really flattered her figure. She helped her pose and take pictures of the dresses - so many beautiful dresses. When I was with her, we got 1 on 1 attention and the dresses she picked out were gorgeous. We finally went with a stunning black dress with tasteful shoulder cutouts that I honestly would have never thought to pick out myself. I am SO happy with the dress and my mom truly LOVES it too (which is what matters most!). I honestly can't say enough good things; the prices are so affordable and the selections is great and the staff is so wonderful. Thank you again for everything :) my mom is going to look stunning!

From the owner: Welcome! Branded Up stemmed from the idea that brands are what attracts the consumer to buy a…read morecertain product. In my eyes every piece of mass produced clothing still has life in it, it has a story traveling from person to person which makes it so unique! When you purchase from branded up clothing there will always be a story behind each piece no matter what the brand and you will be helping the planet because 85% of all textiles end up in landfills each year so help me make that statistic better!

THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I EVER EXPERIENCED! Called earlier…read morein the day to see if they had any wedge sandals (needed next day for work event). Riley answered the phone and gave me a quick review of what they had in store and made me realize I better stop in. When I got there, she helped me find the perfect pair. Although they were a half size bigger than what I would have ordered and a different color than I had in mind, they ended up being the perfect Sorel wedge sandal and now I'm obsessed. I also was able to use my 30% off bday coupon, which you can use pretty much everything (excludes Birkenstock and another prestige brand I can't think of). What a great deal! Riley also told me I could "double dip" and head over to Sunshine and Bluebirds (right next door). That's where I found more of the Teleties hair clips. These are so great because they lay flat, which omits the uncomfortable feeling of driving with a clip on the back of your head. Brittany who was working at the store, was beyond friendly and easy to talk to. The customer service alone makes me want to go back to both Research and Design & Sunshine and Bluebirds. Pro tip: add yourself to your mailing list and enter your birthday. You'll get a 30% coupon that I can use at both stores.

Never shopping here again! Horrible owner!!!! I witnessed the owner speak condescendingly and…read morerudely to a young teacher that was trying to get a $2 discount on a shirt that she liked. From what I could understand the young woman came to the store with her teacher ID from her school that did not say the word "teacher", but said that she was a "primary school substitute" at the school she worked at. The owner was extraordinarily condescending and said that they only gave discounts to "real" teachers and because it didn't say the word teacher on it, she refused to give her the discount. She said that the girl looked more like she could be a substitute janitor!!!!!! What a horrible woman. My friend and I dropped the $70 of clothes we were going to buy and will never be there again.

Life time warranty comes with a cost of $22.30 when you go to claim a replacement hat. The hat is…read moreworth $95 Ca and Tilley offer free shipping if you pay over $100. Wouldn't you think the valued customer would get a break? This cost is written in the fine print of their policy. Does anyone read their fine print before buying? Bad me for not doing so. Most manufacturers provide free shipping for any and all parts being replaced under warranty. Tilley is not most and buyers should beware of their meaning of lifetime replacement. The hat is well manufactured but their policy is flawed!

I have been wearing TILLEY hats for about 30 years and here is my opinion…read more In the 1990's I bought "THE TILLEY MESH HAT" and was delighted with it. Finally I found a hat that was breathable, water repellant, light and had a brim I could mold into the shape I wanted, and had a lifetime warrantee against wear, which included a replacement equal to the one I had, without cost to me. The hat originally cost about $75, but It was great, in fact I did need to replace the hat after about 10+ years of daily use, and got an exact replacement from Tilley. I wore that new hat for about another 10+ years and eventually returned that 2nd hat for replacement under the warrantee, however this time the another company, which I suspect, had bought the company from the original owners, required me to destroy the hat and send it in before they would send me a new one. So I complied and received the new hat, however, this one was not the same as the hat I had before. The new hat, that was supposed to be an equal replacement was cheaply made, had no indented crown, the fabric was thinner, the brim was thinner and would not hold a shape and no longer included the warrantee that states: "THE TILLEY MESH HAT The Finest In All The World INSURED AGAINST LOSS GUARANTEED FOR LIFE REPLACED FREE IF EVER WARES OUT"... I do not like the new hat, it's nothing special and I would not buy it again, instead you can find a hat like the new TILLEYs about anywhere and probably cheaper.

Probably the best location in the area - the other one that I've been to in this area didn't have it going on but this place does. Nobody has been in here on either occasion that I went in here except for the sales associate. I hope they're doing okay for sales.

Most recently, I bought the softest BuffaLove sweater, a red & blue shacket and a long-sleeved BuffaLove Christmas t-shirt. On this particular visit, I also chatted with another shopper about the Buffalo Bills, the weather, and Wegmans. Buffalo people truly are the best kind of people, and when you get a couple of us together in a store that deals specifically in community, what do you expect? I mean, I'm kind of shocked we didn't end up going out for a beer and some wings. That's not out of the question, honestly. Whatever you're looking for to rep your favorite city, you can find it here. I have a bunch of BuffaLove stickers from here that adorn my suitcase so I can show my love for Buffalo when I travel. They'd also make great stocking stuffers, btw, as would some of their BuffaLove pens. Oh yeah - and when I was in there a week ago, they had a pretty good selection of matching pjs if you're into that kind of family tradition. About the smoothies, my blender is on the fritz, so I have been relying on BuffaLove to keep me nourished with protein and collagen. They'll make it exactly as I ask every time. I love the store, the staff, and all the stuff!
