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.

They had a limited amount of clothing options to choose from, they all seem seasonal but one jacket caught my eye. Their "Members Hoodie" and I ended up going with this zip up hoodie. Although it's a bit expensive it is a pretty hyped up brand for street wear and golfers. I'm also a big believer that golf translates close to pickleball (which I play) so the style matches well. The store is really small but they have another section of the store in the back courtyard with even more Malbon gear. Although limited you might find something you like. The employee was also super friendly and checked up on us a lot so I was super happy about that.

So pristine I would be surprised if it was ever even worn. Very pleased. Another friend found a beautiful lightweight Chanel suit in spring colors and a light grey and pink Chanel jacket that fit her perfectly. Such a fun little treasure hunt and our sales assistant was a doll. I could see coming back regularly for sure, and I have a couple of items I wouldn't mind consigning myself. Win win.

Jeffrey was my salesperson and he was darling. There's a ton of merchandise all over the store. I started to feel like they thought I was sketchy because I can honestly look around a store like this for hours and hours. I'm not sure there were any "deals" to be found as every item was priced at top of the market, even a little higher than like or similar items I later found online. A Great place to find a "hard to find treasure" more so than it is a place to find a good deal. I definitely recommend checking it out, and ask for Jeffrey.
