Such a cute store and lovely employees who were so kind and helpful. The employees went out of their way to help me find a gift and make my shopping experience enjoyable. They were personal and friendly while remaining professional and not being pushy. However, I was shocked at how warm it was in the store (probably at least 80 degrees). I'm from the Virginia Beach area where it is much hotter, more humid, and I'm relatively used to the heat, and yet the temperature in the store was noticeably hot and uncomfortable--especially for October. This unfortunately took away from the shopping experience and made it challenging to even want to try on cool weather clothes when I was already sweating from the heat. I wish I could give a separate review (and 5 star) for the employees because they were so helpful and professional, but the temperature for the store is quite unacceptable. According to the OSHA temperature regulation policy, the highest temperature for a store is 76 degrees and this most definitely exceeded this. I hope the next time I'm able to come to the store the owner will have fixed this issue, because it really does take away from the shopping experience.

I went in here with my husband on June 29th to browse after we had dinner. There were two women working in here and one of them immediately followed us around the store. We were looking at shirts to see if they had my husband’s size- we certainly are not thieves. The employee made us feel very uncomfortable so we left pretty quickly. I understand that their preppy merchandise is expensive, but treating potential customers like thieves is not a good customer service approach.

The manager is sneaky. I wanted a different size for one of the shirts on sale. She offered to order it for me from another of their locations. She charged my card without making a comment, but when I looked at it closely, the shirt was full price. When I inquired, she became defensive and said that the other location didn't have it on sale. Frankly, I didn't care about the price as much as the subterfuge. I don't think it's morally acceptable. It occurred the afternoon of 7/28/21.

Employee of the store verbally assaulted me in the parking lot. She started hitting my car and calling me names far too vile to repeat. I reached out to the store multiple times to try to resolve the situation but they never answered. I wouldn't shop here unless you want to be verbally assaulted by the employees.
