This takes me on a stroll to the heart of downtown Vacaville (right at Main & Merchant St.) where I got to check out "Rise And Redemption", a brick-and-mortar store that has been serving up premium men's and women's clothing since early-2021. This store had its share of challenges but opening in the midst of a worldwide pandemic was a gusty move that definitely paid off. I arrived here during the afternoon of Saturday 6/17/2023 at around 12:55pm as the very cool exterior more or less drew me in to see what this place was all about. After exploring the entire store and much to my surprise, I loved the style of these clothes! There is black walls throughout with cool artwork and even stylish cabintry displaying hats, handbags, scarves, and other various accessories. Here you will find a very generous selection of apparel as I was very impressed with the mens' part of the store. This place negotiates with several independent labels including "Dadbod Apparel", "Sullen Clothing Company", "Hold Fast", "Dixxon Flannel Company", and "Graveyard Apparel Company". They also have a partnership with "American Bonfire Company", a popular sunglass line. During my visit, I saw a very impressive selection of graphic tees, sweaters, outerwear, denim, and accessories. Much of the product line is that hip, trendy look that is quite fashionable. As I read the small amount of reviews on this place, many people complained of the customer service as well as the no-return policy. During my experience, the employees were very helpful and knowledgeable. Furthermore, I advise to try everything on prior to making your purchase as many smaller businesses won't accept returns due to a smaller overhead. With that said and done, I am giving "Rise and Redemption" a respectable four-star review.

During my last visit, I found a very poncho on the sales floor with a price tag attached. When I brought it to the register, the cashier removed the tag and said it couldn't be sold because it had been priced incorrectly. I understand mistakes happen, and I wasn't asking to get it for the incorrect price. I simply asked if it could be repriced and held so I could come back and purchase it at the correct price. I was told no, and the response included laughter and a comment like, "Haha, yeah, probably not," which left me feeling embarrassed. My concern isn't the policy: it's how the interaction was handled!!! A little empathy would have made a disappointing situation much easier to accept. I hope management reviews how situations like this are communicated, because this has otherwise been a great neighborhood thrift store.

But it was through Facebook on one of their Facebook Live sales during the peak of COVID in 2020. Sooo glad I came across them. They are a quite consignment and exclusive boutique. They sell new, used, like new, and handmade items. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I've gotten purses, jackets, scarfs, jewelry etc! Both new and used. I've loved almost everything I've purchased. I tend to buy through the Facebook Live sales they do. And rarely make it into the store. If you're in the area worth stopping by, if not worth taking the trip! Good people and great items!

My previous review was deleted--not sure how the owner, Nicole, had it removed, but I am reposting…read moremy experience. I was a regular customer at Pink Arrow until I purchased a pair of boots from Nicole last summer. She explicitly told me they were waterproof. I didn't wear them until March when I visited a friend in Idaho. The snow was melting while we were out, and the boots failed completely-- now the toes are permanently stained. When I emailed Nicole to share what happened, it took her a full month to reply, only to tell me that because it had been close to a year since purchase, she couldn't do anything for me. I offered to show her the boots so she could see from the pristine soles that they had only been worn that single day. As a small business owner myself, I know there were many ways she could have handled this to make it right. At the end of the day, an owner should stand behind their products and stand 100% behind their word. I will only spend my money at businesses that truly value and care about their customers.
