Rude staff!! I walked into the store 15 minutes before they opened today and had a woman push the door against my arm while telling me the store was closed. The front door was not locked and there were about 5 people in the store near the entrance--the store appeared open. I was especially put off by being nearly shoved out the door while holding my small child's hand. I will NEVER give this business even one cent of my money. read more

Very cool store with artfully curated pieces for men, women, and home. The staff is absolutely awful to the point of comedy. I would love to spend money supporting small boutiques in my amazing neighborhood but the dipshits that arrange candles all day and ignore clients is laughable. Whoever owns this place, take a cue from the boutiques up and down Sunset and try to hire well-mannered functioning human beings. read more

Wish I could buy everything in here! The selection is so great and the salespeople are super helpful.

Is having sales staff not greet customers a new hipster thing? Because I went to 9 stores along Sunset in Silver Lake today and only 2 of the sales people greeted me. The rest either kept talking to their friends or in one store (where it was super creepy), the 2 sales people would walk around and smile at us and then quickly look away. The cherry on the sundae was here at Mohawk where when I asked to try on a pair of shoes, the woman brought the shoes, mumbled something, gesticulated toward the mirror, mumbled something else of which I could only hear the word "socks," then seeing that I had socks on, walked away. This is unfortunate. Hipsters used to be cool and friendly. Now, they're too cool for school. Hipsters are about DIY, making your own stuff, art, reading, irony, fantastically affected style. It's about Pabst Blue Ribbon, bicycles, finding meaning and style in old stuff, sharing books and music, used bookstores and public art. Nowhere has it been about being too cool to say hi or not being helpful. Would Miranda July ignore you? I wouldn't get treated this way in Gucci or Chanel. I get treated better in Paris. Why is this trend starting now? Here? In Silver Lake? At first I thought it was giving you the space to shop, but this wasn't true. What really gets me is that not only were they not greeting us, they didn't even really want to help us. Are we not in a recession? Is there too much business so that you can act contemptuous of your customers? The difference between a sale and a pissed off customer who's not going to come back is probably just a helpful staff person. Maybe they'll rationalize and say that they don't want to sell to someone as shallow as I am who wants someone to say hi and be helpful. Maybe they only want to sell their wares to the in-the-know hipsters who know that the secret greeting is actually not greeting. Whatever. If your business can stay afloat by ignoring your customers, then more power to you. I'll be shopping somewhere else. read more

The sales lady needs to wear a bra, i don't want to see her nipples peeking through her $900 Wood Wood Jersey knit dress.

I've been to the Sunset store a handful of times over the years, usually when I've had an event coming up and was ready to spend big. The men and women who work there are so incredibly rude in a way that is almost hard to believe. Not just by clustering together and ignoring you completely; they act horrified if you do ask a question as simple as "where can I find this?" and can barely deign to answer. It's like a parody of an LA boutique. They're Pretty Woman-level rude. This happens without fail every time I've been there, and I'm clearly not the only one. There are plenty of boutiques in LA where you can spend money on the labels they stock and not feel like a monster just for breathing their air. Do yourself a solid and spend that money somewhere else. read more

Come here for ideas! They do amazing merchandising here and are already displaying trends that you won't see housewives wearing until 2016. The place is totally overpriced and I assume they stay alive by selling a few pieces at a time. I don't think I'd ever pay these prices, even if I had the money, but the creative ideas you can get here is well worth a visit. read more

cute store. very nice collections of vintage lighting. great candles. great accessories.. But.... Besides myself, at least 6 other people came in while I was browsing, and the shop girls couldn't be bothered to say hello, or ask if anyone needed help....... read more

Yeah, no. Great collection of beautiful, well-made things, much like the great collections of beautiful, well-made things at similar shops. The problem is their people. The pretentiousness would be funny if it weren't so off-putting. Mohawk - yo sh!t ain't that exclusive. There are many, many places in town offering a similar milieu. In Silver Lake alone you can throw a rock and hit a shop that buys from the same wholesalers. Most of these shops don't act like you have a skunk in your back pocket when you ask a question. I'd have dropped some serious coin at MGS but for a better service experience. Instead I'll be pointing my plastic and my scrilla and my recommendations elsewhere. read more

Inflexible returns policy. Product purchased was faulty. Granted I didn't have my receipt, and we're talking about a low cost item here, but the point is I felt gypped and undervalued as a repeat customer. I've spent a not inconsiderable amount of money there. Will never shop at mohawk again. read more

Went in today to try on a pair of shoes I found on their website. The male salesguy or owner (whose name I didn't catch) was loudly entertaining a male customer, and had the female (who he described as "new here") do the dirty work. I wasn't greeted upon entering. I looked around quickly, and was not very impressed by the women's clothing which was simple and beautiful, but way overpriced. Because I was in a hurry, I approached the salesgirl to try the shoes. Mohawk sells them for $265, whereas you can buy the same shoes (not on sale) directly from the manufacturer for $245, and can find them for even less on Amazon. Oh, and the store is SO CLUTTERED! Stuff displayed on top of the couches and on all the chairs. I literally had to sit on jeans that were "artfully displayed" on the couch to even try on the shoes. I get that it's thoughtfully curated and all, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be a practical space. read more

Everything is expensive here but it's stuff that's hip in that interesting yet classic way. Choose investment pieces to get bang for your buck. Or spend up on a treat to help get over that shitty thing your ex did the other day. The staff were amazingly sweet and down to earth. We talked politics and economics. Very unexpected as I had imagined when I walked in sweaty from a local hike, I was way out of place and should have really left my sweaty self outside with the traffic. read more

I've only shopped Mohawk General Store online, and it's been a great experience every time. I love the diverse selection and the designers they carry. I also love the androgynous styles and the way they pair items together. My packages always arrive neatly packed and it is apparent this store takes great pride in the items they select and ensure the customer feels that as well. read more

THE WORST. If I could give this business a zero star review, I would. The old woman who works there was sickeningly rude to me, barely looked me in the eye. Also, she smelled bad. The gal with the glasses, also rude and I think she got dressed in the dark. Terrible outfit. I was so excited to check this store out and give it the benefit of the doubt, despite stories I've heard about the owners and staff but I should have just stayed home. I left feeling uncomfortable and self conscious. It's a sad place. read more

I was put on hold for ten minutes just for them to check if they carry something I wanted. It could've been longer but I hung up. Did she go to lunch?! How rude! read more

Yes, the items in this store are very expensive, but they carry an amazing selection of incredibly well-made, well-designed, high quality wares. I've found some of my pieces here--shoes, tops, jewelry, wallets, socks (you name it) here. I'm always excited to find out what the store's carrying at the moment. Claudia, the manager, has always been extremely helpful, patient, professional and informative whenever I've had questions. If you're afraid of spending, don't bring your wallet! read more

I like this place. It is a nice to place to look around. The high prices keep 99% of the population away... just like I like it.

Great merchandise but snooty staff; most of what they have you can find elsewhere and without the attitude. Tip for them: especially in Los Angeles, you can't tell by looking at someone how much money they have/are willing to spend in your shop. read more

Not sure what it is about this store and the one in SF. I was super excited to check out this location. However, as I feared, we were greeted with the same snobbish attitude as the one in SF. My sister and I walked in and the first associate to see us was the Caucasian lady with short kinda curly hair. She didn't say hi. Nothing. She just looked at us with judging eyes because I'm sure we didn't fit the type of typical shoppers. The Asian girl that did work there was nice enough to ask if I needed a room to try on the blouse I had in my hand. In the end, it was a very uncomfortable shopping experience. I decided to just stop looking and walk I came in with intention to shop, but would rather not give my money to a place where some of the workers judge a book by its cover. Judging by all the other reviews I have read, I'm not the only that has experienced blatant attitude because I don't fit the clientele they may be looking for. Just because I may have been dressed a certain way doesn't mean I didn't have money to spend. I was carrying around an LV bag for starters, but guess that wasn't good enough. Guess the owners or management don't really care enough to address this with their staff. Eh well. I'll take my money elsewhere next time. read more

*this is for Mohawk's online store* lately, i'm obsessed with engineered garments and Mohawk is one of the few retailers in the states carrying this amazing brand. the new f/w15 line was on its way to stockists so I contacted Mohawk to see if they were going to receive a piece that I had my eye one. I received a prompt reply from Dominique affirming their receipt of the shirt. he helped me purchase it via paypal (EG is not available to purchase directly online, for reasons that are beyond me) and kept up great communication - even notifying me when their delivery arrived in store. the shirt was sent promptly and included a hand written note from Dominique thanking me for my business - in retail it's often the little, personalized things that set the great apart from the merely good. overall a fantastic experience - would highly recommend purchasing from the e-store. can't wait to visit the brick and morter in the future! read more

Fav shop on the east side of town. Have purchased beautiful jewelry, denim, and candles here. Saving up for a Dries coat as the carefully curated assortment of goods here could be pricey as well but totally worth the saving up. The staff here has always been friendly and super helpful. They've even allowed my little Japanese chin dog to accompany me. read more

This is a great store. Love the boutique feel. The store has a very welcoming and warm feel to it. The guys are all very knowledgeable of their product which is always a plus. I was pleasantly surprised to see some really unique brands been carried at this store. Will definitely keep going back. read more

There may not be an abundance of men's boutiques in Los Angeles but places like Mohawk General makes up for that. The store has a really great vibe and the staff is great and not super pretentious like other places I've been. Their selection and range of clothing and products is fantastic as well. Some great gifts as well as some pretty rad additions to your wardrobe. Definitely check it out. read more

Kickass collection of men's designers with an entirely separate store just for menswear. Among their designers are Dries Van Noten, Acne Studios, and Le Maire to name a few. The man that I worked with was massively helpful and patient and really knew the brands. To top it off the store is big and beautiful, and wasn't too crowded when I was there. Definitely on my list of places that I'll be returning to the next time I'm in LA. read more

People need to chill out on the sales girls here. I moved to SoCal recently from NYC and find the staff very kind and reasonable. (I have witnessed snotty salespeople times ten.) I never feel weird or put off by the staff's demeanor or attitude. They are always pleasant and always courteous to my needs. The selection is beautiful and I always find something I love, even if I don't end up buying anything. And to the people who complain about the return policy? Have you never shopped at a small boutique? read more

Mohawk general represents perfection in curation. It specializes in tiny aesthetic touches to your wardrobe that make you say flippantly, "oh this?" As in, a stranger stops you on the street and says, "I couldn't help but notice your pocket square, where did you get it?" You: "oh this?". read more

Really nice selection of men's brands (Gitman, Engineered Garments, APC) merched in a warm, mid-century environment. I thought the sales staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Check out the annex next door for cool housewares, books, art, etc. read more

Found the most beautiful mini-diamond ring here. They have nice brass jewelry as well. Great clothes, wallets, candles, etc but all very expensive. The taste and service make it worth it though! read more

They carry Super sunglasses, beautiful shoes, interesting jewelry, and casual, unique clothing. The store itself is beautiful and they have great music playing. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, it's very well curated and makes for an enjoyable shopping and browsing experience. read more

Stopped in this evening to kill some time before dinner...I was amazed to see the sandals I had been coveting on display! I thought their selection was smart and well-edited. The owner was very friendly and explained that her husband designed all but one pair of the men's shoes - which were all so great. To be honest, I was so happily surprised about the shoes - which I had been dreading driving to Santa Monica for - that I didn't pay adequate attention to everything else. I will say I recall cute sunglasses, a very cute bag and a book I'd like to own! Very nice store! read more

My favorite shop on the east side. I go there for the jeans and vintage chairs, and stay for the back-issues of Monocle.

i do love this place. we always have to stop by when we are grabbing a coffee at intel. the selection is amazing and you get what you pay for. nothing they have is less than great. too expensive for us to afford, but lucky for those who can. the young lady who is always there is super cool, too. read more

One of my favorite shops in LA. Love the Generic Man / Surplus shoes and the thoughtful choices they made in the shops decor and what's for sale. Nice people too! read more

One of the salespeople actually said something to me today. Unsolicited. She must've been new or something. Great Merch. Nicely Merchandised. Always come back for more. read more

They carry the BEST line for staples: Base Range. PLEASE carry more!!

A great selection of clothes and gifts. There were countless item I would have purchased until the store employee asks if she can hold my coffee (WITH LID) at the front door for me-after ten minutes of perusing. I let her take the drink and immediately proceeded to the door to reclaim my drink before leaving. Really, you can't trust me to enjoy a beverage while shopping? read more

Placed an order online and when it arrived it wasn't exactly in the shape I had in mind... The team was attentive, understanding, respectful, and punctual in their responses and dealt with everything in a very professional manner. Overall happy with the service and would definitely shop again. read more

Visited recently. I farted something awful in the dressing room - the staff was very pleasant and didn't even say anything about the smell. Aces in my book. I didn't buy anything. read more

Nice shop, but there are other "General Stores" that jive a bit more with my personality. Worth checking out if you're in the area and lucky enough to find parking... Otherwise, check out their website. Same stuff, less attitude. read more

Arrogant, non-existent to indifferent customer service. I've been in to Mohawk three times in the last four months, and not once, have I been greeted or even acknowledged. Best is when you stand directly in front of their hipster sales staff with a question and they hardly look up from whatever computer work they're doing. Could not care less that they have "curated", dependable marques or latest in the most-in 50s furniture--they need to seriously step up when it comes to customer service. read more
