I just learned about Classic Loot this week and had to go check it out. It's a shop in Japantown…read morewith new and secondhand items, like men's and women's clothes, purses, jewelry, Sanrio merchandise, plushies, crafting kits, greeting cards, and more. It's very cute and very clean, and doesn't seem like a thrift shop at all. The young woman working there was friendly and helpful. I saw lots of little things I wanted to buy, like the tiniest Labubu I've ever seen, but didn't end up purchasing anything. Most of the clothes and accessories for females seemed targeted toward young people, but I'm glad I stopped in and checked out all of their cute loot. Be sure to bring change for the metered parking or plan to use your credit card.

Our first visit to San Jose's JapanTown. The Wife spent more time here than I was expecting for…read morethis kind of shop, since there were so many cute clothing options for her. She bought a flowered skirt that looked like 1968, but new. The sales girls were super friendly and encouraging, and there were plenty of unusual things for me to look at while she shopped. I learned about Smiskis figures, for instance. They have a bunch for trading only, and they also sell several other collectible figures. Not my thing, but interesting. Very cute and colorfully decorated interior.

I was looking for plants and this popped up on Google. Once I walked in, I was immediately greeted…read moreand didn't feel pressured to buy anything. I spent quite a bit of time just looking around. I was interested in trying on some of the rings on display, and Stephanie opened the box and allowed me the privacy to try them on and make my decision (again without any pressure). She helped me pick out plants for my fireplace and I bought four lovely 3" ceramic planters that were on sale for $4 each! Stephanie and I chatted for a bit while I was checking out. Lovely conversation and experience. She packed everything beautifully for me since I bought a lot and she knew plants were going to be in my car for a bit. I enjoyed my experience a lot and came back a couple weeks later. Her partner was there and it was still a great experience -- I bought a couple more things. So far, I've bought multiple plants, planters, rings, and stickers from here and all have been great quality. 10/10 recommend checking out.

Went thrifting this afternoon and my first stop was Black and Brown. I'd never been there before…read moreand wasn't sure what to expect. Wow, what an amazing store. They mainly sell vintage and modern secondhand clothes, bags, and shoes for women and men, but they also have new pottery from a designer called Familiar. The store is spacious and carefully curated. There is no thrift shop smell and it looks more like a cute boutique than a secondhand store. You can sell your clothes there, too. There are two floors of women's clothes and a separate men's shop across a little courtyard in the back. Most of the customers when I was there were young adults of both sexes. The store was busy on a Saturday in the late afternoon. Fortunately, they have a dedicated parking lot behind the shop with plenty of spaces. The staff welcomed me immediately when I walked in. I was interested in looking at purses and they had quite a few vintage and newer ones from designers like Coach, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, and Dooney & Bourke. I didn't buy any, but enjoyed checking out what they had to offer. I didn't pay too much attention to the clothes, except to notice that women's pant sizes on the second floor only seemed to go up to size 11/12. If they had bigger sizes, I didn't see them. Overall, I was impressed with Black and Brown and would like to go back.

I kept driving by this store and finally stopped in yesterday…read more The store is organized and clean and I found the staff helpful. It took some time to find items that interested me as I looked through the entire store (two floors for women and one for men). Some items were over priced but you can find some good gems here. Overall, I would recommend!

But I went in to find a birthday present for a Chinese girlfriend with really good taste in fashion and maybe buy a cute hair clip for myself. A clerk started giggling at me as soon as I walked into the store. Another sales lady walked up to me with a highly disapproving look on her face. "We don't have anything here in your size," she said. I could just tell she was envisioning me ripping the seams out of one of her $180 skirts trying to zip it over my fat ass. I'm well-acquainted giggles and rejection from clothing sales clerks in Thailand, Hong Kong, China, and Japan. But I wasn't expecting it here. Oh well; they lost my business.

I like this store and has bought several things from there. I used to live in Arioso so I popped…read morein the store when it first opened. Over the years, I've bought hair clips, cell phone charms, skirts, and dresses. The lady was very professional and nice. She is not pushy at all, and lets me have my time browing through the things. When she recommended an item to me, she was not pushy either. Many times I don't buy anything but just tried a few pieces on. She was not angry, like some other Asian store owners do. They have cute Korean style clothes. The price tags are pretty expensive, but they go on sale after a while, like 50% off. I like many styles there, but sometimes just didn't buy them due to the price. Sometimes they have on-sale items hanging outside the store. $29.99 a piece. I've found great bargains there. I bought a summer skirt, a winter skirt, and a full dress! Great deals.

I've been wanting to go to Redemption for several months and finally made it to downtown Campbell…read moretoday to check it out. It's a cute boutique offering California-made items such as pottery, clothes, skin care products, jewelry, art, and more. The store is nicely organized and their items are neatly displayed. A table with pottery near the entrance caught my eye right away. I also enjoyed checking out the flavored salts and oils for cooking, room diffusers, wall art, and jewelry. I was surprised to see they carry the wonderful Osea skin care products as I didn't know they were made in California. I ended up buying a ceramic spoon rest, room spray, and a tiny gold "diamond" ring. Their prices were reasonable. The store owner rang up my items and was very friendly and nice. I will definitely be back to shop here again.

I bought a tank top and it was $42 which was pretty steep but I didn't mind. Until today, I had washed the top I purchased ONCE and after only 2 or 3 wears it starts pilling almost everywhere! Sometimes the my washer does this which isn't avoidable, but I had washed it with like colors and fabric types so it shouldn't have done this. There's also weird lines in the fabric now so not sure if I would wear this outside my house anymore.

Found a lot of amazing shirts one was brown stripes button up and the other was a salmon pink polo…read more I first started purchase separately due to my budget at the time, only 70 dollars, The pink shirt was 64 something cents and the brown was 44 dollar cents. I picked the pink one at first because "where else am I going to find a clean pink polo like this?" and the nice lady who worked picked it for me. Adding the tax came around 69 dollars and cents luckily. Return to get the brown shirt with my dad getting him a tie too rounding up to 70 bucks. The owner and workers were really welcoming and helping me to build confidence in fashion. The place is not pack, which it should be. Overall A+

There's a lot of stuff stuffed into there that wouldn't normally come to mind when gift hunting.

First time in this store. Best service I've had all holiday season…read more Super helpful, friendly, and fast.

The service in the fitting room was really nice! Thanks!…read moreThey kept bringing me new clothes--even though I had explained exactly what I needed. I purchased six items, thinking the price was fair given the high quality of the clothing. I had specifically asked for natural fabrics--but look what I actually received... I didn't pay close attention to the labels at the time of purchase, but when I got home, I checked the composition and discovered that every single garment is made of plastic--100% polyester. I intend to return everything, as I have no desire to put plastic directly against my skin. The cashier seemed pleasant enough to me. I simply wanted to make my purchases quickly and without any hassle, but the local staff seems intent only on ignoring customers. Even though--being a Tuesday--it wasn't busy at all, I still had to wait for someone at the register to finally pay attention to me and be willing to ring me up!
