    The pieces at Kutula speak volumes. My lady and I had an incredible experience purchasing one of their works. Bo introduced us to the incredible woman behind the scene, and you could feel the love and pride of our rich culture and heritage. Both my lady and I have our roots in Nigeria and the West Indies, so seeing all the creativity, the color, and the energy was really inspiring. We also enjoy working with businesses that are clearly integrated in the community, which when speaking to Bo, is evident. She knows all the ends and outs of the communities and was able to refer us to another business that has the same level of quality in client services. Without a doubt, we plan on working with the Kutula Family for our future needs as we really enjoy working with bespoke work of their caliber.

    Not really much to say. They treat you like family and always have you looking your best at an event. Never pressure you to buy anything either. It's all about what you want and will feel confident in. They care more about you loving what you will wear and feeling confident in it vs. making a quick buck. This store is a family owned business that's been here longer than I've been alive. What I love is every time I come in I see that they teach women how to wear their traditional head wraps and educate people about the fabric and the culture. Whether it's a party, celebration, wedding, red carpet, etc. if you're looking for traditional African attire this is the place to go. Their quality in the fabrics and attention to detail is unmatched. I've been to the other shops within a 100 mile radius and Kutula keeps me coming back because it's the little things that is paid attention to here vs. other places. You won't find any better in the area or California.

    I had such an amazing experience at Kutula! The service was impeccable! I had a party to attend and Bo went out of her way to make sure I had a fab outfit. It was like having a personal stylist! She even helped tie and pin my headwrap so it looked perfect that evening! If you haven't been, GO! I will definitely be back!

    This place is amazing!! Never have I felt more confident, sexy and absolutely beautiful than I did when I came here. Nyambo and her mother we not only helpful but so nice. The experience alone mad me feel like a Queen and the actual dress was just the icing on the cake. The dress below, I actually didn't buy (only because I have no where to wear it) but upon review, I have decided that I don't care and will be going back to buy it. Nyambo.... hold my dress... I coming for it!!

    So many compliments on this skirt! Love it!

    I absolutely loved my skirt! I went in looking for a skirt to wear for Black Panther, and for the summer time. Customer service was amazing, prints were gorgeous, store was awesome, just totally in love. The only thing that is keeping me from giving 5 stars, are the sizes definitely run all over the place. Still not that big of a deal, you will just have to continue to try everything already made( mind you, they make custom pieces, which is to live for), if you were in a crunch like I was. I will be back, I just know to make sure I custom order, which I have an idea for a summer brunch skirt! Thank you so much for all the help! Loved my skirt!

    My husband's perfect Nigerian outfit for our wedding day.

    I was completely stuck when trying to find a Nigerian outfit for my husband on our wedding day, in CALIFORNIA. Thank goodness for Kutula! A true dream team and we couldn't be happier. They helped our magical weekend wedding dreams come true with creating an outfit in short notice with such patience, responsiveness, and up to date with the most current and fabulous trends. We absolutely recommend them without hesitation! Thank you!

    Wakanda has a fashion place!

    "Dress like yourself". This place is a gem and deserves long lasting attention for its fashion and connection for Pan-African people.

    I had the best experience with this boutique I was styled for my maternity shoot and I absolutely loved the outfit we came up with and the advice on how to make it work on my preggo body for the shoot. I will definitely be coming back for more ready made and custom made pieces!!

    I love my skirt with the head wrap. High fashion african attire. Very beautiful clothes. The designer is just as classy as she can be. She's dope.

The store is run very efficiently for consignors as well -- I've consigned many men's designer that have sold quickly here. I'd say it's easier to find nice designer womenswear. Men's designer is harder to find, but at times you'l get lucky with designer menswear.

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.

    As is probably true of many, I rarely write reviews unless my experience was particularly miserable…read moreor over-the-top brilliant. I was recently shopping for a birthday present for my girlfriend. Browsing the women's section can be both awkward and overwhelming. I found Sarai, who paid attention to the criteria, set me at ease, and was conversational. She was patient for twenty minutes at which point she was called away. Mandatory break? An irate customer asking specifically for her? Who knows? But before leaving, she introduced me to Sonia, gave her the breakdown, and wished me well. It was seamless, and Sonia was on point. While I was at the register, Sarai popped in to ask if the mission was accomplished. I felt like I was at a Beverly Hills store where personalized service meets a hefty receipt. The only reason I might have been tempted to leave 4.5 stars is because I could not get the damn customer service "scan me" sheet to work on any device. But that's not on the floor salespeople, so bravo.

    I had such a wonderful experience at Nordstrom Rack, especially with Chema (she's a twin -- both of…read morethem were great!) and the team. Chema truly went above and beyond. I had already spent nearly two hours looking for an outfit for a last-minute business event and was honestly about to leave empty-handed when she offered to help me. She then spent over an hour with me, going back and forth to the fitting room countless times, pulling pieces, helping me put outfits together, and even making sure everything stayed within my budget. She was incredibly patient, kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find something I felt good in. It honestly felt like having a personal shopper! I walked in stressed and ready to give up, and walked out feeling taken care of and excited about what I found. The service at this location has been great overall, but Chema made this visit exceptional. I will absolutely come back specifically to shop with her ,next time I'm not just browsing, I'm looking for Chema! Thank you for such amazing service.
