Trove is a wonderful resale and consignment store. They have a huge selection of gently used items…read more You can get designer or name brand clothing, all sorts of accessories, purses, shoes, things for your home and they even have a baby section. Their prices are quite reasonable. Many items are up to 80% off what you would pay for great clothes and bags. They also have some nice art now and again it is all fairly priced. This is not a Salvation Army type store, yes, all items are used, but all are designer or something you may have seen in a store. They do not have a huge vintage section and that is fine. It has just really nice things that I would end up paying a lot more for new. The service is great. The staff is nice and knows what is in the store and where. If you are looking for a nice bag, they have it or some nice clothes. I have bought a few things there and I have never been disappointed.

Last summer, I went to Trove and bought the cutest red leather jacket. I also found Gucci sandals…read more The problem was there was only sandal. They took my phone number and said they would call when they found the match. I gave them my number and about a week later, they called and had found the match. I returned and bought it. Yesterday, we went there and bought a few things. Super cute stuff and fun to shop. My daughter found new Stan Smith Adidas. They couldn't sell them because they lost the key to unlock the block thing that the alarm goes off if cut. Again, I gave my number and today, they called and found the key. Went back and got the adidas.

Men's wear is casual with bold visual designs on the shirts. Unisex clothing. She has a remarkable sense of style, with the women's wear the true star here. Statement pieces galore, and the accessories to go with them. It really is a store for all ages. In addition to the clothing, stockings, socks and underwear, there is a gift selection which is as eclectic as the store and it's location. Costume jewelry, accessories, delightful small press books and items that reflect a taste and style that turns heads your way. All unique. Reasonably priced, many small manufacturers.

While there are certainly the staples of gift shops here: cards, jewelry, small ceramics and the like, this place is extremely well-curated. And also has some unique features.

And this was the place that I found the absolutely perfect card for Mother's Day. Prices here were very reasonable and the staff was both friendly and helpful.

In addition, the Valentine's merch was so over the top cute that I wanted to buy everything from socks to chocolates and everything in between.

We were hanging out at the Pier with some friends from out of town during Pokemon Go Tour: Unova and headed over here to try to catch more pokemon but also check out some shops! I was super surprised to even find a Miniso out here since they are typically only inside malls. I guess technically this is a type of outdoor mall. Miniso is a great place to shop for some of your favorite things like Disney, Sanrio, and Harry Potter items. They had a few blind boxes and anime figures but everything was laid out so nicely! Super organized and overall nice to the eye. This store makes a great shopping spree for gifts since everything is pretty cheap. Great location and store overall! Didn't buy anything this time but maybe next time! IG: @ammysalamii

They have plushies, stationaries, pillows, tote bags, and cute accessories. They have high quality merchandise for Hello Kitty. They carry also some merchandise for Squid Game 2. They have sweet and savory snacks. The price in general is affordable, and the merchandise quality is decent. The staff were very friendly. Miniso offers reward program, which is very cool specially for regular shoppers. I really enjoyed shopping in this branch and I will be back whenever I am in Santa Monica.

Their bags, clutches, wallets and accessories are stylish, classy, sleek and simple and I WANT THEM ALL! I think I may have a leather problem. Their staff is so sweet and helpful and not pushy at all. I'd like to be friends with them (and with their employee discount, if they have one). There's way too many pretty things in here to pick from... just give them your credit card already and walk away a happy girl. Or, have your amazing husband help pick out some fancy things. He can't go wrong in here. Score for you, and he'll definitely score later ;)
