    Cute bags made by these guys
    Peijean T.

    From first glance this looks like any ordinary tourist gift shop. I'm so glad I wandered in after eating lunch in Little Italy on my last trip to San Diego, because they really have some special things inside. The concept of the store is upcycled and repurposed gifts. For instance I found an adorable purse made by a local artisan with aluminum soda tabs. I ended up walking away with purchasing a screen printed canvas bag that caught my eye in the store window display. It was made exclusively for Verde and says "LOVE" but the L is the shape of California and there is a heart where San Diego would be located on the map! The best thing is that the bag was only $8.50. I wish I had known that with a Yelp check-in you get 10% off, but maybe I will do that next time if I decide to buy another tote as another gift.

    These are some of the Cambodian women who make these purses to support their livelihood

    I love the store situated right in the middle of Little Italy. I first noticed it in 2013 and I went in and ended up buying a beautiful purse made by women in Cambodia. It was not very high priced and just gorgeous, then 10 days ago I bought another Cambodian purse but a black one this time so that I can use it during the winter. It's just a great store, the service is wonderful and everyone is wearing masks. I encourage you to check it out you won't be disappointed

    Two of my purchases:  a bag repurposed from Australian fishing waders and a dopkit made from seat belts.

    I happened across Verde yesterday evening when I was downtown checking out all the new shops in what was the downtown police headquarters and is now called The Headquarters. The store is tucked away in the NE corner of the complex and you could easily miss it because the signage is not prominent. The assortment was quite a diverse mix of mostly personal accessories. This ardent environmentalist was very surprised to learn that all the merchandise in the store is recycled, upcycled, repurposed and sustainable. They call it eco-chic, but I call it a brilliant, cost effective, chic and practical way to save the planet. The prices are extremely reasonable. I bought a # of Christmas presents, including: two purses made of sustainable grasses by Cambodian women who I'm told make a good living from their enterprise; a beautiful purse made of "vegan leather," which is indistinguishable from real leather and WAY cheaper; and a very cool iPad bag that is made from repurposed Australian waders. I also bought an indestructible dopkit for myself that's made from recycled seat belts. Loren, the manager, was very knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and helpful, without trying to sell anything. The Headquarters complex also has memorabilia from the old police station on display and a jail that you can walk through; what could possibly be better? ;-) I love the unifying green concept of the product assortment and Verde's execution is flawless. I highly recommend that you visit this store.

    This my far most favorable store in San Diego. I have done entire Christmas shopping here. So many unique jewlerly in different price range and my mom loved what i got for her. So shopping was easy peasy

    Beautiful gold shimmer bag with lots of room.  Great for day trips to beach or shopping.  Stunning Italian upholstery bag, Sturdy. Love it!!

Brandy Melville advertises itself as "one size fits all," so how are customers supposed to know whether something fits without being able to try it on? I'm 5'6 and 130lbs and their clothes still don't fit me half the time. Not everyone fits into clothing the same way, even if it's technically one size. When I asked an employee why there were no fitting rooms, I was told it was "management policy" in a dismissive and rude tone. Since they wouldn't let me use a fitting room, I tried on my clothes in a discreet area of the store. An employee immediately told me that wasn't allowed either. I asked to speak with a manager, but was told there wasn't one available (of course). I then asked whether the return policy had changed since customers can no longer try on clothing before buying it. The answer was no - you still only have 21 days and can ONLY receive store credit. So let me get this straight: customers can't try on clothes before purchasing, but they're still expected to take the risk and only receive store credit if the items don't fit? That's a terrible customer experience. I had a large stack of items I was planning to purchase, but after this interaction I handed every single one back and walked out empty-handed. If Brandy Melville doesn't trust customers enough to provide fitting rooms while also maintaining such a restrictive return policy, they won't be getting my business. Until this policy changes, I'll be shopping elsewhere. I've always known the Brandy girls to be bitches, but these were just miserable people. Spend your money somewhere else.

I then went back to do a little holiday shopping, and have been back many times since. I am also happy that the shop continues to host a spirt stop on the stroll. Kiko + Sven is a tiny shop with a lot of cute items. Some appear handmade and other are just cute or unique. They probably have more jewelry than anything. It is mostly dainty gold and silver, some with long beads and some made from clay. They have a back wall that is full of greeting cards, and a section of toddler and baby items. There are usually quite a few candles and soaps, and a small amount of cocktail/cooking supplies. All of it calls out to me... and makes me want to spend money. They also have a rack of clothing in the shop, and usually a sale rack outside. I have bought a couple of tops and a cute shawl there in the past, but since the selection is so small, I often don't find any clothing that either is my size or style. I think it is a great shop to browse and find something unecspected. As it is very small, the times I went looking for something more specific for gifts, it has been a bit hit or miss. Their stock varies over time and you may or may not luck out. All in all, if you are shopping or eating on Adams, go check it out. It's really fun to browse and you may find something you like. Also, they will make you an account so you can put your phone number in for discounts without any coupons or solicitaitons.

The clothes are super cute, they're always rotating through different pieces and they have a great variety. The quality is good and the prices are reasonable. The jewelry options are also great. Lots of different pieces and every time there's something new. But truly the highlight is the women who work here. I have had nothing but great experiences with them. They are helpful but also do a great job of "reading the room" and knowing if you are looking for more attention or just good on your own. They hype you up when something is cute without trying to push everything you try on to you to make a sale. I almost never walk out without having bought something. A few months ago I had honestly one of the most special shopping experiences ever. Brenda was working and it was towards the end of the day so it was quiet. I told her what I was looking for and she pulled some really great options. We ended up having just the very best talk about some wonderful things going on in both of our lives. She's truly so genuine, kind and helpful. I could seriously go on and on. Thank you for always being a great store, and especially thank you for yesterday. I couldn't have had a better experience.
