I've been going to the mall my whole life, and it has certainly changed. It used to be a place…read morewhere anyone could go and not feel intimidated, but that atmosphere has shifted a lot over the years. While they've clearly invested in renovations and made the space look more modern and upscale, the overall vibe isn't what it used to be. The updates themselves aren't necessarily a bad thing--the mall is cleaner, brighter, and has a more polished look. But with those changes, it feels like the sense of community has faded. It used to be somewhere families, teens, and regular locals could all comfortably spend time together. Now, it feels more exclusive and, at times, less welcoming. The mix of stores has also changed quite a bit, leaning more toward higher-end or trend-driven shops rather than the balanced variety it once had. Because of that, it doesn't feel as accessible or practical for everyday visits. Overall, while the mall may look better on the surface, it has lost some of the character and inclusiveness that made it special in the first place. It's not necessarily worse in every way--but it's definitely not the same.

They were really nice to talk to.

We came across Bespoke Home + Life at the Collingswood Crafts and Fine Arts Festival last August…read more We knew then it was a very special place, but so did everyone else at the fair as it was very busy inside. We decided to come back again and do our shopping, as we fell in love with the store and this awesome plant. Well we came back and met up with Patrick and what an awesome human! You really need to go and visit the store for yourself as there are so many items for your home to add those special touches ! Patrick is so helpful and patient, I can't wait to come back and visit again. I wish I lived closer! And their doggie in the window was actually what initially made me go into the store!! So cute!

Oh, Bespoke, why do you have to be over an hour from me!…read more What a spot that just oozes energy and mood in the best green way... When you first walk in, you're like this is a nice vibe... smells good, adorable doggy runs the place, hey Griffin! But, then you move to the back and see a door to an oasis... wow... greenhouse heaven that also is turning into a spot that you can reserve for a private event. But, then you keep walking and see even more awesomeness... a seating area with a mini pool, orange trees abound.. very hard for me to put into words, but we spent a lot more time here because we were just enjoying the vibe! Definitely reasonable priced purchases and many well cared for plant options to choose from. Thank you, Carl, for being so friendly and explaining how to care for my Callisa Pink Passion beauty. Will return!!!

I'm super into crystals and all I did was browse. They had a nice selection to offer at pretty good prices. Though I didn't have enough time to buy, I will definitely be back when I visit my friend to buy her plants and myself some crystals. Great place to window shop and browse for hours at a time if you're into plants, home decor, and crystals!
