Customers are left waiting outside the store, mid-day, because no employee was present…read more Employees must eat their lunch. Absolutely. but the store opens at 11 AM, & it was around 12:30.... ???? (They left a sign that says they'd be back in 30 minutes.) & my other thought was that - at the price point of each single item from Reformation, I believe the business can afford at least two employees on site at a time. After about an entire hour, two girls showed up with leftover food in their hands. I was there, & I waited because I needed something specific to wear. & I don't mind waiting at all for an employee to come back from lunch. There were other women waiting outside as well. This case was unique. There were two employees, who took a break simultaneously because they'd rather the clients wait. & when they came back, they did not let customers in immediately. It was hot outside. Not terrible, but waiting an hour out there was not fun. One other customer was not as patient. She had exploded over the phone with maybe customer service (or her friend) regarding the same experience. I was confused when the employees entered without paying any mind to the people who had been waiting. Sure, it only took them a few more minutes to reopen the business. but what? Never mind the people who had been waiting. Bottom line is, I would never return to this store. It was a shit experience. Not everyone is here out of a desire for luxury, but this was pretty low on any customer service I had ever experienced. There was not a single considerate thought for the customers. I appreciate a brand like Reformation for its sustainability efforts & a price point that isn't too far out of reach for some people. And a brand of this magnitude simply cannot endorse this behavior.

I want to say that I love this company & their products. This location is really small and the…read moreselection is limited. The girls that work here are not friendly or attentive. I waited for my fitting room for quite a while meanwhile they only focused on one customer. Another customer came in and straight away they were attentive to that person so I ended up leaving.

Shopping with the owner felt like having a super knowledgeable, tasteful, honest, and supportive best friend helping me, and she spent over an hour with me as I tried on a dozen pieces from a wide variety of upscale indie brands. I ultimately went home with a 2-piece by Matteau that she suggested after she saw how much I liked a very similar suit by Ocin that didn't work quite as well as the Matteau ultimately did. I also picked up a Solid and Striped bikini, and a pair of Izipizi sunglasses that can be hard to find in the US. Prices aren't much higher than Everything But Water, the selection is way better curated than any department store, and the service was as personal/informed/fun as I ever could have imagined!

The shop has a lot of small decorative items and vintage-style trinkets, but many of them felt significantly overpriced for what they were. A lot of the pieces looked similar to items you can find at places like BTS, The Council, or Out of the Closet--just with a much steeper markup here. Because of that, it was hard to justify actually buying anything. That said, it's still a fun spot to wander through if you enjoy browsing eclectic knickknacks and vintage-style decor. It's good for a quick peruse, but personally I wouldn't plan on spending much money here.

Used to love this place but now it's more of a buyer beware situation, based on a recent…read moreexperience. I purchased two candle holders and later got a voicemail saying I owed an additional 33 cents because they'd undercharged me. Odd amount to call about, but I was out of town and didn't call back right away. The next day I answered a call (that turned out to be from them) asking for someone else entirely. Assuming the number was possibly spam, I googled the number, saw it was Trove, and then emailed them directly, saying I understood I owed 33 cents and asking for an invoice. They corrected me. I actually owed $33, not 33 cents, they couldn't send an invoice by email, and wanted me to call and give my card info over the phone instead. After everything already off with this (the wrong number call, the 33-cent voicemail, no email invoicing), I didn't feel comfortable reading my card number to someone over the phone. I offered to stop by in person instead, and asked in advance if they could have a receipt ready showing my original 33 cent charge, so I wouldn't be making the trip for nothing. I rearranged my lunch break to make this happen and showed up as planned. No receipt. They said they'd emailed it, but I'd specifically asked for a printed copy, the least they could do given this was their error to begin with. That request took several days notice and still didn't happen. Their printer was "acting up," so I got no receipt for the original charge and none for the new $33 charge, either! An error on their end turned into a special trip, wasted time on my lunch break, and still no paperwork to show for any of it. Disappointing customer service, especially when the customer is the one who has to burn their own time fixing your mistake. Edited to add, following their reply: I was never contesting the dollar amount being charged. I was happy to pay for what I purchased. I stated that they asked me to call in my card over the phone. I addressed why I was uncomfortable with doing that, and had asked for a way to provide payment electronically. When that option was not available I offered to come in. My disappointment is that despite their error, the wrong amount owed left on my voicemail, a random "wrong number" phone call from them, and inability to accept payment over something like square invoicing / Venmo / etc., all I asked for was a printed receipt. If someone has to make time to come in and fix your error, it's the least you could have done. I'm now even more disappointed in them after this response.

Every style. Every budget.

There is street parking in the area but you have to be willing to walk about 8 minutes (a few blocks). Be sure to read the signs for any street cleaning or parking restrictions.

When I entered at 8:30 pm there was an attendant at the gate. When I left at 8:50pm there was no attendant and putting my validated ticket into the machine at the gate made me pay $2. Pressed on the call button resulted in no response. The next week on a Friday, I pull in around 8:25pm and there's an attendant there so I told her about my experience before (validated ticket with no attendant) and she was not very helpful but said that there needs to be an attendant for a validated ticket to work. So, I asked how long she'll be there until, which she said 10pm. I left 15-20 minutes after entering the structure. As I was pulling up the gate, I SEE HER WALKING AWAY FROM THE GATE. I waive at her with my ticket and she looks at me and shakes her head (sorry I can't help you) as she continues to walk away. WTF! This parking structure is absolutely ridiculous. The "complimentary 15 minutes" is also a joke because no one can get in and out in under 15 minutes. Don't go to the Platform if you have to use the structure to park.

Since having my baby I haven't been able to shop for myself and got fed up with wearing my maternity clothes. Somehow I found Trunk Club and thank goodness I did! After receiving my first box I decided to schedule an appointment with my stylist Alexandra. She was wonderful and pulled about 15 pieces for me to try. Some were a hit, some were a miss, but Alexandra took notes on what looked good on me for future reference. The location itself is beautiful. It's large with lots of natural light coming in from sky lights. There's a bar serving complementary beer, wine, water bottles, and coffee. Alexandra offered me a cold brew to drink which I gladly accepted. Also impressive was After visiting Trunk Club, I'm not sure why I wouldn't return every time I need a few new items in my wardrobe.

I'm not a big clothes shopper but I always look forward to my trips here (and always end up spending more than I plan) By appointment only (but super easy to make one) Trunk Club makes it so easy to shop for good looking clothes from a range of labels. They do tend to be more on the upper end (their acquisition by Nordstrom is indicative of this) so be prepared for the corresponding pricing. That being said working with a stylist and their range really helps with putting together ensembles that actually work and that involved multiple interchangeable elements. Trunk Club also has their own custom shirts and suits that are tailored for each customer. I've ordered both and love them. Their dress shirts are now my first choice both in terms of look and feel.
