1. The sales clerk, in an effort to make conversation, asked where we had eaten lunch. We told her and she proceeded to let us know we should never go there, that she had gotten sick from their food, and suggested a different location. She went on and on about a place we had already enjoyed. 2. I sat down because I have a condition that makes standing up for too long to cause me pain, while my friend shopped. The same clerk asked if my friend, who looks nothing like me and is a couple of years older than me, was my daughter. This all made me feel so bad and highly insulted that I had to write a bad review. I wonder if this clerk is the owner. Maybe try a more positive and polite way to interact with your customers. I wish my friend had not bought anything from them. I know I didn't!!! read more

Love this place. I cannot believe I hadn't stopped in. I am in Downtown Ventura often and passed by this store so many times. I was shopping for myself and found the cutest sweater for $28! Def cheaper than Amazon and supporting a local owner! I will be back for sure. There was so much I wanted to buy for myself but I told myself , only one sweater ! LOL ! read more

Yovana was absolutely wonderful today! She helped me with an exchange, clearly explained the store policies, and went above and beyond while I browsed--she even helped me find a gorgeous necklace I ended up loving. Excellent customer service, great vibes, and such a cute spot in downtown Ventura. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Talked to the sales person at 3:30, said I would come before 6:30, due to traffic in The Collection I made it just before 5:45, took me 45 minutes to drive there. Was shopping for a special occasion. Right as I got a handful of clothes to try on and likely purchase the sales girl said the owner doesn't want to pay them so they are closing in ten minutes even though she told me 6:30, she was aggressive, when I said how long it took me to get there (clearly disappointed) she said that's not true my grandma lives in Riverpark. I bought the sweater I had on hold. I will never shop there again which is sad because I wanted the dress to go with the sweater. I was so excited to shop local for the baby shower of my first grandchild. Adding picture for proof there in fact was horrible traffic, I don't care where your grandma lives, one thing is for sure, I didn't lie about the traffic. read more

The lady was really nice and recommended I try what I bought on which I thought was very considerate and caring of her! I bought a dress, but there were sweaters, shirts and some jackets too. I think it was a good place to go when I was visiting Ventura! read more

My favorite store to shop in Ventura! Beautiful clothes and so reasonably priced! I find something to buy every time I visit!

This is a wonderful shop with some of the most beautiful clothes I have seen in a while. The prices are very reasonable (less than Amazon in many cases.) One the best things about this shop is the sales person, Yovanna. She is very knowledgeable and helpful and has a great personality as well! read more

Tabatha was so helpful and great at suggesting comfortable and stylish clothes. Great prices and really great clothes! Thanks for an outstanding shopping experience! read more

I was just at this store and tried a dress on, noticed the price on the one I tried was lower than same dresses on the rack. I asked the unfriendly clerk who was playing with her phone why prices are different . She took it from me and said it was a mistake. I told her I don't want it but in any other place they'd honor the price tag. She was rude and ignored me I asked for her name and she ignored me. I told her I'd report her and she said I had to leave or she'd call the police on me??!! She took away the store front display and kept watching me. This has never happened to me. I was not in rags, or untidy. Poor offensive conduct! One star is still too generous! This happened on Tuesday 9/23 at 12:45. read more

Love shopping here! Great prices on quality products, always new items to choose from, and very friendly staff!

Yovanna was genuinely the most helpful and so willing to give me a bunch of options !! It's the cutest store and it has so much variety, very good quality and very good prices! So happy with my visit! read more

Do not sleep on this cute boutique. First off- Melissa, who's been there both times I've visited the store, is beyond amazing. I thought she was the owner the way she was so genuine when talking about the items and the store. Both experiences there were great. I just happened to walk in because the store I was trying to go to was closed. I always assume shopping downtown that boutiques are $$$ but I was in a good mood and went in anyways. I AM GLAD I DID. Not only were the prices insanely reasonable, they had some of the softest articles of clothing I have ever had on my body. I was planning on going to Vuori for a sweater and I Kid you not, I found a sweater in this shop SOFTER than Vuori that I've purchased in the past, and $32... what?????! amazing. I went back to the store to repurchase items that I purchased because I loved them so much I had to mail them to my sister in law. This softness of the clothes should be shared. ;) Last brag is on my first purchase to the store I had bought some sunglasses and I had assumed that I misplaced them, and she had them behind the counter with MY NAME ON THEM and immediately let me know upon walking in the store (I had only been here one other time). The store is pretty busy so I thought that was very nice and the least I could do was write this review :) Thanks Melissa and Le Monde! Can't wait to come back. read more

Clothes are not good quality, bought a jacket for $76 and the first time I tried to wear it a button fell off and they would not offer me a refund. Expensive clothes not worth the quality! read more

How can one place have everything I want? For me, gifts? Shoes, nice shoes under 30??? Straw hats around 20. Awesome canvas bags, crossbody, travel and small for essentials. I have a difficult time putting an outfit together, no problem, it's practically done for you. Helpful staff. read more

My friend and I came up to Ventura for thrift store shopping and stumbled upon Le Monde retail shop! We saw a pretty red beaded dress in the window display and my friend wanted to inquire about it. Once we entered the store, it was a bit of a shock because the relaxed boho chic style did not match the formal party dresses in the window, so we asked about that red dress! Please keep in mind, this is not a negative point, but rather an observation. I liked the clothes and jewelry and shoes in the front section of the shop too. Melissa the staff member was really sweet and kind and said the formal dresses were in the back room, so we followed her. My friend picked out the pretty red beaded dress and I found a Little Black Dress! All the formal dresses were 50% off, so this was a fantastic deal! My beautiful party dress was $28! I tried on a few more, and all of them looked great on me, but this black dress fit me the best. I also discovered they were having some shoes on sale for $7!!! So I bought a gold pair of "Birkenstock" style flat sandals! My friend and I had so much fun in this shop I feel like Melissa was our personal stylist! She was terrific! Next time I am up in Ventura, I will definitely make Le Monde a destination stop! read more

See all

Almost afraid to come back here; left a 5-star review over a year ago and am back on the west coast. Again, I don't need any clothing, etc. but can't come to Ventura w/o visiting Le Monde. Sandy is a wonderful owner and I know if I step foot inside there, I will no doubt buy something, if not for me, for my sister! read more

I shop here every year when I visit Ventura and I am never disappointed! Always trendy clothing, shoes, accessories at a great price! The workers are usually quite friendly, today Savannah helped us and she was a doll dressed to the nines. The only downside is they don't have a computer at checkout so the worker has to write everything by hand. Savannah was quick and accurate, though having a computer would make it better for everyone! I hope Le Monde always stays in business! read more

This is that neighborhood store that every woman should know about. The selection is absolutely adorable, the prices could not be more fair and the owner has really great taste. I am a middle aged woman who does not like to spend a whole lot of money on clothes yet still likes fun trendy clothes. Purses and accessories are adorable too. My husband knows to just get me a gift card there on holidays read more

Thanks to the staff for wearing a mask during this time. The curation of this business is on point. Products are good quality and affordable too. The staff was friendly and helpful. I recommend shopping for gifts for others or yourself. read more

I love this little downtown boutique. They always have fun new styles and a range of variety of mostly casual shoes and clothing for reasonable prices. I always make it a point to visit whenever I'm back in Ventura and I'm never disappointed. I always go home with something cute. read more

I was in Ventura for my last vaccine shot and we were wandering the streets and noticed this shop. We ventured in and discovered a treasure trove of goodies. Not everything was for me, but found a few things I really liked. I ended up with two pairs of sandals and a top. The more you looked around the more you found and liked. It was such a pleasure to be there. Melissa was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for such a pleasant time last night. read more

I had the Best experience at this store! Initially, I just can in to browse....then, I asked the sales associate a question, and then.... ...I ended up spending $130!!! Wasn't my plan but I had such an awesome sales associate, she helped me out the perfect outfits!!! She was fantastic!!! Definitely an asset to her employer!! Keep up the good work! This girl needs a raise!! read more

Beautiful selection of clothes. And the prices are great. Wasn't looking for clothes but walked out with quite a few things.

Both the teenage girls that work there are very unfocused on their costumers me and wife went in there and the girl checking us out had her friends in there talking to her and laughing the whole time I couldn't even understand her. Her attention was not were it should have been read more

My husband, son, and I were just walking downtown to get some fresh air. Was not planning on doing any shopping. That changed when I noticed this beautiful rustic color dress on the window display. We decided to talk in to take a closer look at the dress. The sales associate Melissa was amazing! She was super friendly. I tried on the dress and it looked amazing! We ended up purchasing the dress and a summer hat. I would have purchased some shoes but they did not have my size. I love this place and will definitely go back. Cute boho chic style. The prices are reasonable. read more

I've been shopping here since I was in high school and it's only gotten better. They have a huge selection of bohemian dresses, blouses, and jewelry. Their prices make it easy to update your wardrobe as the seasons change. I drive here from Santa Clarita and somehow it's become the only place I shop because their pieces are so unique. Employees are always amazing and greet you as soon as you walk in, and offer to start a dressing room as soon as you take an item off the rack. Ask about their new rewards system and you'll keep coming back! read more

Went in the other day not expecting much but was blown away by the cute clothes and great selection. Definitely making this one of my go to places in Ventura. Great prices too! read more

I love this store! I always find great things with great prices. I was there a week ago and met the owner. So helpful and kind.

This store has some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. They have fantastic prices and great products. Twice I have wanted something that they didn't have in the store at the time. I left my number there and both times they actually called to let me know when they got it in. Everything that I bought there is good quality and gets the most compliments. read more

Review update: I'm not sure if my last review will remain or if this will replace it. But in case it's deleted, the short story is that I left a one star review a couple weeks ago because I tried return one of several items I purchased and even though it had the tag still on and the item was still for sale on the floor, I was not allowed to exchange it because I did not have the receipt. So I left a bad review here. The owner reached out to me and was polite and immediately offered to make the situation right. (MUCH better than the typical negative review I leave on here where the owner calls me). And I just now left the store with no problems with the exchange, and even got an extra $16 item because I needed $8 to even out my exchange. So she wound off better off by doing this, which is fine by me because I'm happy to do business with those who provide good customer service. I'm only not giving 5 stars because of the initial experience. read more

We love this store. We have taken our teenage granddaughters here to find dresses for performances and everyday attire. They both enjoy the selection and the special attention they get from the staff. Their clothes seem to be good quality at fair prices and, of course, when we go in with the kids, my wife always finds something she has to have too. Stop in and take a look, we highly recommend this store! read more

The store is amazing I love the new look Sandy is such an awesome person when it comes to customer service

The owner is SO pleasant, kind, and helpful. She threw in a pair of free earrings for me and my best friend as we shopped for the perfect pair of to go with our gorgeous necklaces. The merchandise is beautiful and affordably priced. read more

Really cute, fashionable boutique with reasonable prices. Friendly service as well. Got a cute necklace for $9.99 and a sweater blouse for $8. They always have great deals on a clothing rack displayed outside their store which is what lured me inside. I will visit again when I'm in town from LA! read more

whenever I am in ventura I stop at this shop. always always find some cute items. the sales associates are alwayts helpful and friendly.
