The Pygmalion reference as a store name is subtle. I get it; but don't quite see the link with how…read moretransformed or brought to life you'll be if you shop here. Despite that, I found Galatea to be a classy store but with a bohemian laid-back vibe. The separates were mostly of softer, less constructed fabrics, and of styles you don't see in the mass market stores. The fabric textures could work well for both casual or professional wear. It's always good when you can add something to your wardrobe without fear of seeing it on someone else the next week. With that; however, Galatea isn't someplace for young fashion, but rather a store for the woman who feels young at heart without necessarily being slotted into the "middle-age" genre of clothing. The clothes aren't inexpensive, though, so be prepared. Galatea also has some truly beautiful jewelry, scarves and handbags to complete whatever look you're after. The ladies working here cheerfully answered my questions and made recommendations on some of the jewelry I was perusing, but were not pushy, overbearing , or shadowing me around the store like some crazy stalkers. It's not a place I'd gravitate toward, mostly because it isn't my style; but I wouldn't mark it off my list if I needed something different.

I have shopped at Galatea for years and enjoy the curated selection of items that is different from…read morewhat you'll find at mall stores or even most traditional boutiques. Many of my Galatea items become favorites and get worn out because I reach for them so often. The prices aren't super cheap, but since I end up wearing the items for a few years they actuallyl become bargains. I'd rather pay $75 for a shirt I wear 100s of times than $12 for one that shrinks weird after two washings and has to go to the thrift store. The styles are mostly comfortable and unusual, but work well for artsy or relaxed offices, low-key dressy events and socializing. A friend characterized the clothes as "California" in style. The store stocks several Made In The USA brands and lots of organic cottons, linens, etc. They also have lots of locally-made jewelry, handbags, candles, etc. While it's a grown-up, non-trendy women's store, my 15-year-old has been known to pull an item off their substantial consignment racks in the back of the store and make it work in her teen wardrobe (she's a Free People, Madewell, Urban Outfitters shopper usually.) The staff is friendly and very low-key. If you prefer shopping without having to make idle small talk, they will allow that. If you want assistance and like talking through your wardrobe choices, they will do that as well. Bonus: they sell Locopops popsicles which is always nice on a summer afternoon!

Owning a store is great when you have business expertise, and in this case, fashion sense as well. One key aspect of the equation Is missing: people skills. Work on it!

The clothing here seems to be primarily tunics, blouses, t-shirts, camisoles, and dresses, mostly unstructured styles. Perhaps it's the time of year because who wants heavy clothing for summer temps? Things are spaced around the store so there's no crowding and it's easier to browse. It's an open setup. The clothing racks are mostly along the wall, interspersed with some accessories, and some scented candles and soaps. There's jewelry as well, but not so much that it becomes distracting. There are large dressing rooms, with black and white curtains, and black and white pillows and a bench to make it seem more welcoming. The staff are of the no-pressure kind, but will take a customer's selections into a dressing room, allowing that person to browse more easily. It's a psychological trick, I think, to keep them in the store longer.

I went to purchase a Bumba seat, excited to have found one in decent condition; I used my card to…read morepurchase it and the lady at the counter said she didn't see the charge "from their end" and asked me to charge it again. Seeing as I'm not made of money and expecting a baby, I diligently checked my bank account first and sure enough there it was, a debit for $33. The woman still wouldn't let me have my seat, even after showing her the charge on my bank account, and insisted I come back the next day so the manager could deal with it. She told me this happens a lot so I don't trust going back and using my card again, and I work a full day the next day and don't have more time to waste on this. Not only are your targeted clientele shopping at your store for a bargain because we're trying to save money, but we also don't appreciate being asked to charge our card twice when the money is already gone. my husband even tried calling and speaking to the owner only to be told the same thing. So I left without my seat and without my $33. I don't have infinite time to go back and forth to their hard-to-get-into location right off busy Main st, so it's unfortunate we couldn't come to a solution over the phone with the owner. Consider it a donation I guess, but I will never be back. Ridiculous!!
