I have never written a review of a store but my experience was so bad I felt I had to share!…read more I saw a cool looking jacket from across the street as me and my family were walking around Carmel. I was so excited and ran across the street to get a closer look. As soon as I went inside there was a wall of bedazzled jackets featuring different Formula 1 teams. My mom is a big fan of F1 and I excitedly took a picture so she could see (of course with the intent of potentially buying it as a kitschy souvenir). As soon as I pulled out my phone, the woman behind the counter judgmentally told me "we don't do that" referring to me taking a picture. Of course I quickly put my phone away and explained that it was because I thought the jackets were pretty. (Which was, to be honest, a fib-- I simply had too much heart to tell her that upon closer inspection her bedazzled denim looked like it belonged on a truckers wife in a strip club and not on Ocean Ave.) I continued walking around the store looking at the other clothes as the woman kept uncomfortably staring at me. After a minute she raised her brow and said "it seems like you came with a purpose" as if I was in the store to steal her clothes or designs. It was very rude and totally inappropriate. She totally Pretty Woman-ed me! Long story short if you are looking for a one of a kind jacket, skip this place. You could probably find something of similar value on Etsy instead. And to the owner of this place, I have a piece of advice--Let's leave bedazzled denim jackets and bitchy retail workers back in the 80's where they belong! ‍

This lady was so bothered by our presence that she asked us if we were looking to buy anything specific from the very moment we walked in (not even a hello or welcome) and proceeds to follow us and rearrange every clothing item we looked at on the clothing rack. She then tells my younger sister to not touch anything, which makes no sense since this is the whole point of shopping, smh. This lady stood so close behind us and didn't give us room to comfortably shop. She then turns off the light and says "we're closing in 5 minutes" and walks away to another shop across from her store. This made us feel so unwelcome and we absolutely did not deserve to be treated this way. Its a shame that the customer service is severely lacking being that this is considered a small business.

I was a little surprised they even sold squishy toys since most of the items in the store aren't geared toward kids. A few stores down, we found the exact same squishy for $12.95. I thought, "Oh well, it happens," and didn't think much of paying a little more. But when my daughter was about to open it, I noticed the box wasn't factory sealed. It had been closed with two pieces of Scotch tape. The moment I opened it, I knew she'd been scammed. The squishy was dusty, and half of the ink from one of its eyes had transferred onto the bottom of the toy. It looked like someone had already played with it, decided they didn't want it, put it back in the box, and the store resold it as new. So not only did they charge more than the store just a few doors down, but they also sold us what appeared to be a used toy. That was really disappointing, especially for something meant for a child.
