A lot of their items are UVa/Charlottesville themed -- make great gifts for friends! Some of their items can be a bit pricey, but they do have great sales and a wide selection -- I have come in for formal dresses and for oversized tees. I have found the staff very friendly in my experiences here! When I ask questions they are quick to help, and they always say something nice when you leave the dressing rooms in a new outfit. There are finches in the store like other reviews have said, but I think to say that that is unethical is a misconception. The birds have a cage large enough for them to move and fly about in, it is stocked with toys and food. I have seen staff (maybe the owner) interact with the birds while I am shopping, so they are given attention. I have seen no signs of aggression in my many, MANY moments watching the birds while friends browse the store, meaning they are likely well socialized. Overall I think this is a cute place to stop, especially for students already near the Corner.

However I have stopped in a couple times recently for a new pair of dress shoes for my husband and then a couple weeks later for pair of shoes for myself to wear to a wedding. They have really nice, high quality italian-made men's leather dress shoes. They are expensive but you can find good sales on them occasionally still, and they will last you. He's very happy with his. There's always plenty on the sales rack, so especially if you don't shop often like me, you can probably find something cute and in your size in their sale section. They don't do the best job at keeping this sales section looking clean, organized up to brand standards (I know because I worked a couple years at a BR back in the day). I've found the customer service at this location hit or miss, sometimes seeming very cold even when we're asking for help/looking for someone who can assist us, and other times they are friendly and fine, so I think it depends who's working.

The staff were really knowledgeable and patient with us as we took over 45 minutes to decide on the 13 different pieces. Due to the pandemic we haven't shop as much. At the register they carefully checked for items that should be for sale for us and ordered a different size for a jacket to be shipped directly to San Francisco. They recommend several pieces that we normally wouldn't have picked out and this was really a godsend since we have a shop for a while and were in a time crunch . Highly recommend this place due to the friendly service and the professional knowledge they have.

I debated typing this out, but this story DOES need to be heard…read more Here's a few things you should know about me + this store before proceeding on: 1. I have stopped in to this J Crew on several occasions. 2. I have always been (until this weekend) treated with respect and friendliness. 3. I do often check out the clearance rack, because - let's face it - J Crew is stylish, cute...and somewhat overpriced. And I love a good deal! This is mind, I strolled into the J Crew on Saturday. The store wasn't very busy, but I wasn't greeting when I walked in. Whatever, no big. I walked around, checking out the new styles, etc. I didn't make the deliberate beeline toward the clearance rack - because even though I like deals, I do think that J Crew is better manufactured than 'cheap' brands. Anyway. After my walk around, I strolled to the clearance area and saw several good prices on plain tees and basic skirts. I was happy to see that there were a good variety of items in my size as well. I picked up a few items, and asked a clerk for a dressing room. Said clerk wasn't chatty (at all) but was pleasant enough. I tried on my items, and really fell in love with a striped tee with a laceup side. Kinda nautical looking - I glanced at the price - 10.99! I could barely believe it! Since their Japan Tsunami Recovery shirt was sold out (something I was hoping to purchase) I was ready to check out with just that item. So, I walked up and this was the exchange: Clerk: Are you ready to check out? Me: Yes, thanks. Clerk: Did anyone help you today? Me: Not really. Clerk: (fake voice) Oh, I am really sorry to hear that. Me: No, I mean, I didn't ask for help, I was just - Clerk: (exasperated) I know what you mean. Me: Okay. Clerk: (scans the item) Your total is $20.xx Me: Um, I think it was marked down from... Clerk: (looks at price) Yeah, well this was mismarked. Me: Excuse me? Clerk: Yeah, it's not supposed to be that price. (dryly) Sorry. Me: (flustered) Oh. Well. I don't really need it then. I walked out. I had this really weird feeling come over me. I mean, $20 for a J Crew shirt was still a good deal. But that wasn't the point. It was marked down. I was the customer. I should have fought it. I hate those kinds of confrontations. I already felt like she was judging me - thinking I was cheap. Not good enough for J Crew clothing. I had to banish those negative thoughts pronto! I glanced back in the store and saw the previously smug clerk speaking with who I assumed to be her manager. She seemed irritated. But gosh darn it - I wanted that silly shirt. I walked back in. The woman who I assumed was the manager told me she could honor that price. I thanked her and paid my $11.xx thank you very much. I made some kind of nervous small talk, to the effect of my excitement of finding such a good deal. The girl just rolled her eyes. I clutched the bag on the way out. Proud that I went back in but still weirdly emotional about the situation. When I returned home, I retold the story to hubs, when I realized, taking a glance at the tag - she had pulled off the 10.99 price! Just...weird. I'll think of it each time I wear that shirt...
