My daughter and I were visiting from San Antonio for her 10th birthday, and I stopped in hoping to maybe find a dress for my 40th birthday. I ended up finding the most beautiful dress, and my daughter picked out the perfect belt after Victoria suggested adding an accent. She also recommended a gorgeous scarf that made the whole outfit scream, "I'm 40 and I'm here for it!" Victoria and her two amazing interns made us feel beautiful, confident, and so welcomed. They were incredibly sweet to my daughter, and I'm so grateful we stopped in. It made my day and left such a positive impression on both of us. I'll definitely add a photo of the finished outfit when I wear it! They had prices to fit all budgets and the proceeds go towards so much good!

This is an amazing find near the Cannery in San Francisco. A friend visiting here saw a beautiful…read moresparkling pin in the window but it wasn't open. After she left the City, I decided to go get the pin for her birthday in July (if I can wait that long). I called to find out when they'd be open. Victoria, the owner, answered and let me know when to come by. Meeting Victoria in person was a delightful experience as was finding out more about her very eclectic jewel of a business. It's a nonprofit that helps people by giving them a boost up with beautiful clothing at little to no cost. The clothing is all donated, clean, on hangers, and goes to help those in the community to get warm clothing, to interview for a job, or just feel like they can stand up a little straighter. Anyone can come to browse through the myriad of treasures. And, of course, buy something at a good price. All proceeds really do go back into the community.

She was teary eyed because of the disrespect and aggression they used with her and they said "well someone in your group did that" and it was just me and my wife. They have every excuse but WILL NOT SAY SORRY. And of course we didn't buy anything and then this guy comes out (older chubby man) "Don't be soft, mistakes happen buy a shirt and I'll give you 10% off" and I said "10 percent of $10 is $1 dollar, I don't want to do business with you" and he called me a couple names as I walked away.

DO NOT SHOP ONLINE!!! False advertising of FREE RETURNS and GASLIGHTING by customer service aka…read more"concierge"! They included a letter stating free returns with my order and their website automated chat also stated that returns are free, but when I contacted customer service they said that was last year's policy and refused to honor. This is what the "concierge" wrote to me when I sent them a photo of the letter included with my order. "To clarify, the free return mentioned applies when you choose an exchange option. For returns processed as a refund to the original payment method, an $8 return fee is deducted, in line with our current returns policy. We understand how the wording may have caused confusion, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention." Thanks for victim blaming and calling it my confusion, but free return is what the letter states. This is what their website AI agent states.. "US domestic customers: Use this portal to initiate a return and receive a free USPS label: https://aninebing.myshopify.com/apps/returns https://aninebing.myshopify.com/apps/returns. Simply click "Drop off at Post Office". Free returns and exchanges are offered for full-price purchases within 14 days of receiving your order, provided the merchandise is unworn and unwashed.

You walk into this "mall of stores", and right after you pass the side of Mrs. Ma, you'll find it. I believe the lady with curly-ish hair and glasses might be the owner or person in charge. She seems to be the one who does the measuring for customers, and I really appreciate how quick their service is. They definitely know what they're doing! I was nervous about bringing in my nicer denim at first, so I tested them out with a pair of corduroy pants. It was $15 for a regular pants hem. The second time I went back, I brought in four pairs of denim, and they were $25 each for the original hem. They came out perfect. The thread they chose was almost exactly the same color and you can only notice a slight difference if you really stare at it up close. I'll definitely keep coming back here. Please give them your business!

From character themed socks, catchy puns, intricate designs, or even the most basic boring pair- this place gotchu. With my child's teacher being a milk tea lover, I couldn't help but want to find her something boba themed for her upcoming birthday. I was hoping to pick from a number of designs but was only left between 2 when it came to this particular motif. Our purchase was cute and my toddler felt so accomplished being able to personally pick out something for her teacher. The cost for the items vary so it's very budget friendly. 5/5 stars.
