He did however wipe down my daughter's drink mark within 10 seconds of her picking up her cup so he was clearly aware of us and watching. It was rude, especially for not saying a peep to us the whole time. Too bad bc the store has great items but I could never support this business. It's giving that pretty woman moment where she felt completely judged and the store clerks were rude when in fact she could buy the whole store if she wanted. Hard pass.

I'm disappointed to be leaving this review because I have both been a customer of this shop and a…read morevendor for the past few years. I've supplied my handmade sage bundles to the store for years and have always had a positive relationship with the person I typically work with. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was very different. A different manager placed a special order for 16 sage bundles. Because I don't keep that quantity on hand and she wanted to hand-select the bundles, I went out of my way to order additional product, assemble 25 bundles so she would have plenty to choose from, and drive to the store for the scheduled delivery. When I arrived, the person who placed the order was not there, so another employee met me. She selected the 16 bundles and repeatedly commented on how beautiful they were and how nice they smelled. We actually had quite a conversation about the scent. I was therefore surprised when, a week later, I was informed that the bundles supposedly had a "strong, unpleasant odor," that the shop was uncomfortable selling or keeping them, and that I needed to come pick them up. I was also never paid for the order. When I returned to retrieve the product, the interaction was rude and dismissive. Another employee even unnecessarily commented that the bundles smelled like "weed." Having worked with sage for years, I found this particularly surprising because the bundles smelled exactly as they normally do - like dried sage. I had not changed my suppliers or the way the product was made. To make matters worse, the bundles had been placed in plastic zip-top bags stacked on top of one another, which crushed and damaged some of them. I understand that a retailer may occasionally decide a product isn't right for them. What I found unacceptable was the way this situation was handled: a special order was requested, I spent money and time preparing it, drove a considerable distance to deliver it, the product was accepted and complimented at delivery, and then the shop refused to pay for it, mishandled the product, and required me to make another trip to retrieve it. As a small business owner, my time, materials, and inventory matter. I would have appreciated basic professionalism, communication, and respect for the fact that I was fulfilling a specific order for a business that had successfully carried my products for years. This experience was especially disappointing because of the long-standing relationship I had with the shop. I hope the management will take this as an opportunity to consider how vendors and customers are treated, particularly when someone is placing orders for products they may not be familiar with. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would be hesitant to recommend this shop to other small business owners as a place to wholesale their products.

I held the gift at my seat on the plane. When we opened it at my son's house the tongs were chipped. I immediately called the store and they said they would call manufacturer . They never called me Back. I had to call again and they said they would call back. Never did. Bottom line I should have gone to Bloomingdale's. Despite the cordial nature of the owner and his partner they didn't offer any compensation nor did they even have the courtesy to get back in touch with me. Brandon finally called once he read my two negative reviews. Almost two weeks to the day when I called him. Again, the item was defective and no recourse was offered to me. His response consisted of blaming me for carelessness in transit. Absolutely nothing true.

Smitten, is a super cute boutique in Laguna Beach directly in front of Gelato Paradiso. By the time…read moreI make it to gelato, stores in the vicinity are usually already closed for the day. Smitten, surprisingly was open and very inviting to the eye. Let me tell you, this little place is a gem. There are so many cute items that make you say awww or that's cool. They have dresses and outfits for adults, a little bit of clothing for kids, some accessories, jewelry, toys, stuffed animals, books, trinkets, seasonal and house decor, bath and body, and a sale section priced at $25. Not bad for pricing, especially being in Laguna Beach. I am confused as to how to rate this place though. Why? Well, the store is my cup of tea and the prices were pretty good, but I didn't feel comfortable being there. A more mature lady was there, and while I stood around straight, I was left alone. As soon as I would lean over to look at something, she would come over as if she was "fixing" the inventory and literally watch me, my hands, like I was going to take something without paying. It felt so weird. I wanted to buy a little lip balm called bitchstix cause I thought it was funny, but i was quite turned off by this and decided against it. I was saved by the bell when the family called me to go over to pick my gelato across the hall. Due to the experience, I am taking this 4 star rating to a 3. Would I return? Possibly. Smitten, really is a cute place to shop, but if she is the owner and or is there again and does the same, I would definitely not come back and would update this review.
