She attempted to hide behind structures so it wouldn't be so obvious that she was following me, but it was. I was modestly dressed in casual clothing; nothing out of the ordinary. I was in the store for about 20 minutes. So why was the young black salesperson following me? Either the salesperson is racist against her own people or staff is trained to follow black people. Either way, it's not good. Needless to say, I'll never shop at this store again. My recommendation: don't shop in this store if you're African-American. Go elsewhere where you're treated like everyone else, with some respect.

We were barely in there two minutes when the woman in the store said "Are you here to shop, or to have a meeting?" Odd that three young women can walk into a store and not be welcomed or offered assistance, but rather questioned about why they are talking to each other. My only guess is that the clerk did not want three women of color in her store. I rarely experience this level of racist hostility in Philadelphia, but I encourage you not to support this store. I can't comment on the quality of the clothes because we barely had a chance to come inside and look around.

The walls are lined with tons of unique and sexy clothes for both guys and girls alike: from corsets to skirts to jackets and accessories...even shoes! Unfortunately coolness comes at a price...a very high one at that! I fell in love with a victorian-esque black floor length layered ruffle skirt that cost $347! However, they are definitely quality items! Sid was a fantastic help in helping find items that would both fit and flatter my friends and I. It was great.

This review is based solely on customer service at this establishment. The wares are beautiful and…read morewell curated, and although pricey, they're great pieces. But I was appalled with how I was treated by one of the employees there. I had been chatting with one of the owners, I think- Ariel? She was sweet as could be and shared my enthusiasm over an amazing eggplant wool dress and coat from the fifties. She told me the price and after admiring it I decided to try it on. By this time, Ariel had stepped out and another female employee stepped in. I remarked to her that it was so beautiful and I'd like to try it on, to which she sneered, very obviously looked me up and down, and said, "well, it only really fits a size 2...". Not that it makes any difference what size I am, but I'm between a 4 and 6 and was appalled at her rudeness. I asked the waist measurement (it was definitely larger than a 2) and she didn't know. When I said I'd like to give it a try, she scoffed and said, "well, it's $250, so don't force it". Excuse me?! How dare she say something like that! I'm not a child who is unaware of the delicacy of vintage clothing, and am not disillusioned about my size- I did try it on and it all fit except for the bust, because the waist was very high up on the dress and I have a long torso. The girl asked if it fit, and I told her the bodice was too short, and she replied that the original owner was very short and petite. That's what she should've told me about the size-I'm tall, around 5'9", and it would be very obvious it wouldn't fit if it was tailored for a short woman. Instead she made it about weight with her tone and comments. She then tried to get me to try on the original clothing line, saying it goes well with an "hourglass" shape, but I was so furious and embarrassed that I left. No one should be commenting on anyone's size, no matter how veiled, and to assume I would damage the garment? Uncalled for, unacceptable, and just plain mean. It was not said out of concern for the dress- it was malicious and very ill intended. I also felt like she was insinuating I couldn't afford it, anyway. I'll not return to be treated to poorly, and that's a shame, because this shop has potential.

However the most exciting bit is the original Earl Salko lines of clothes by Ariel, who is always there at the sewing machine and helping people find something. I bought a dress here after admiring the simple lines and unfussy design of a dress in the window. I didn't have time to try it on, and when it didn't look just right (too shiny for daytime wear) I brought it back and Ariel exchanged it for a more work-appropriate dress, no problem. Everyone who works here is super sweet and goes out of their way to help you in a non-intrusive manner. Joyously recommended to fans of vintage and super-simple, locally made clothes.

They've also got some pretty cool tops and accessories, the displays are well-done, and the sales clerks are friendly and helpful. The only downside of this place is that designer jeans are very expensive. Sevens, I was told by the sales dude, run from about $140-200 each, and I can imagine that the other brands are similarly priced. Needless to say, I browsed the day I was there and didn't buy anything, but I hope to return someday when I have some cash to buy the perfect pair of jeans. Of course, I might be 40 by then and will be too old to be able to pull those cool jeans off anymore... I have one major gripe: I went in while they were having a sale. Everything was on sale EXCEPT FOR JEANS. Since they really are a jeans store, I think that sucks. I'd be more likely to buy a pair of jeans there if they were on sale because you can find the same designer jeans (although not as many styles) on sale at places like Off Fifth or Last Call Neiman Marcus. And I don't think it would kill Charlie's to knock $20 bucks off their jeans now and then. Otherwise, though, this store is really cool.

There are "print your own tee shirt" spots, some local biz, and a dollar store. A movie theater. A co- working space. City Winery. All under one very large roof. That doesn't make for good browsing, imo. I stop in if there's something I need at one store, then leave. I've never stopped for moisturizer at Ulta and decided to visit Burlington or watch a movie. The Gallery was a place to hang out in its heyday, but Fashion District restricts unaccompanied minors. So it often feels empty and lifeless.
