I was excited to receive a "Back to School" email from them, which advertised 40% off in store. I dragged a few friends with me and we visited their shop. Their sign inside the store confirmed that they were having a 40% off store wide sale. Their employees were super helpful and we proceeded to pick out quite a few items, including some gifts. Overall, it was well over $1,000 between all of us. We were beyond surprised and disappointed when we began to check out and were informed that only a few of our items were 40% off. When we asked them about the sign that said 40% off "Store Wide," they just kind of shrugged and asked if we wanted the items. No explanation or courtesy at all. Needless to say, we put all of the items back and went on our way. Its too bad because I have been happy with everything that I have purchased from them, but their advertising was a total bait and switch. Wilbo: "Store Wide" means the entire store. If it is only select items, then state that.

Tourists! This is your shop for good quality LB merch! Just as a comparison, there's a men's shirt shop nearby that sells nice dress shirts for $180 each! This is an extreme example though. The sweatshirts we bought probably go for $60 or more in any of the shops nearby, especially ones closer to PCH. Celebrate local shop owners that have figured out reasonable prices can still be successful!

Best boutique I've ever shopped. Kudos to their buyer for having impeccable taste; with shops like…read morethis dotting the shoreline, it's no wonder so many South Orange County women look like they've stepped right off the pages of Vogue. Cloudwalk mostly carries women's tops, dresses, and jeans, all unique yet trendy, and priced surprisingly comfortably in the "alternative high fashion" range ($35-$200). They also have a small men's section that metrosexual dudes will swoon over. The girl working behind the register was about 16 and just drop-dead gorgeous. She definitely had the trademark OC haughtiness about her, like she was getting ready to audition for the role of girl-villain on "Laguna Beach: the next generation". But I was more amused than offended and, the fact is, she actually did her job really well: greeted me and my shopping buddy immediately, checked up on us when we needed her and backed off when we didn't. I walked away with two great shirts and the burning question, When is SF going to catch up? (I'm looking at you, Marina and Hayes Valley.)

We've visited almost all of the stores in the Hawaiian Islands and we just came from the one in San Diego the night before heading up the coast to LA.

Vanessa was a great help in finding sizes and showing off new designs that they received that morning. Each Crazy Shirt store usually has special designs peculiar to that area.

I have to tell you, if you want a great shopping place. This is the place. We were simply walking by and the gal who worked there, Jennifer(I think). Talked to us and we were intrigued. Next thing you know, 2 hours later and $1700 later, we were done. I have never walked by or into a store and felt so welcomed and comfortable around a person. She knew exactly what would look good on both of us and made our trip very memorable. We will definitely be coming back on day trips to visit her and the store as we always need good clothes! read more

Two of my pieces did sell, and per our arrangement, the profits were supposed to be split evenly. Unfortunately, I have not received my portion of the payment for those sales. I've reached out multiple times over the past year trying to resolve the issue, but I have not been paid. In addition, my interactions with the store during this process were surprisingly rude and unprofessional. At one point I was even told that if I wanted my payment, I could take the matter to small claims court. I create and sell my work as a retirement hobby, and I trusted this store to handle the agreement fairly. Based on my experience, I would encourage other vendors to be cautious and make sure they have clear terms in writing before consigning items here. My hope is simply that others avoid the frustration I've gone through.
