I love this place! The women that worked there were really kind and attentive, and the clothes are great quality. Would go back again!

Came in because I hadnt seen this store. It's just high pressure salespeople and not worth the price. Then the return policy is awful. You need to return within 14 days, and you can only get store credit. Even though I have something brand new with tags still attached and never worn.. I can't do anything at all. I truly hope no one else falls for this

I have shopped here for many years and have always had great service from the staff. Most recently yesterday I met a lovely lady by the name of Natasha who was extremely helpful and gave me some great ideas on how to wear certain pieces. She went out of her way to make sure that I also had an opportunity to look at the sale items- I love their clothing line and I'm always surprised when I try on items that I wouldn't have necessarily picked out for myself! Thank you Ruti! And thank you Natasha for your excellent customer service

I wandered in looking for an outfit for an event and found a couple pieces I was interested in. The sales woman noticed my interest and began to engage with me enthusiastically, all smiles and friendly attention. But in the process she proceeded to force several other options on me that I said multiple times weren't my style, some of which I rejected out right, yet she still handed me more while I was in the fitting room. When I came out saying most of it didn't work and I wanted to think about it before dropping $500+ on a pair of jeans and a casual top, she literally turned away from me, wouldn't make eye contact and didn't say a word when I thanked her and exited. If your staff is going to be that blatantly rude, you can forget my patronage. The old adage, how you treat those who can't do anything for you says everything about you applies here.

I started coming getting clothes at Ruti about a year ago and can't be more happy with the store and its staff. Ruti's clothing is interesting, well-made, and unique, with materials that are flattering to all kinds of body shapes. What stands out, too, is the sales team. Allison and Liz are both stellar salesfolks. They know a ton about all of pieces in the store, keep track of what I've liked and not liked in the past so that they can make wise recommendations, and have even called me to tell me when things arrive in the store that they think I might like. And they've been right every time!

I did a review of Ruti's a few years ago and decided to update my review due to their consistency of excellence. I continue to make this store my primary shopping destination due to its cutting edge designs which flatter every body type. The other reason I continue to shop there are the stylists Ruti hires. They are all outstanding not only for their fashion sense but also for their friendliness and helpfulness. I have never felt pressured to purchase anything and have even been dissuaded from purchasing items that were not flattering on my body type. I recommend that any new customer take the time to actually try on a few pieces. You will be amazed at how good you will look. I am always getting compliments on my wardrobe. It's such a relief to reach into my closet and know that any selection purchased at Ruti's will be appropriate and make me look great. Thank you Ruti and your fabulous stylists at the Berkeley store.

When boutique shopping, Ruti has got to be one my favorite stores. My friends and I frequent this shop, and often find sweet Liz working and helping us. On occasion, you may see the owner (she travels to Israel often). Do take a peek at their collection: Lots of solids, asymmetrical, contemporary and modern designs. Although they are on the pricey side, you may get lucky and find a few on sale, clearance (just be sure to keep your eye on them). Aside from clothing, they have unique jewelry made by local artists (my friend, Z always has her eye on new, incoming pieces), clutches, bags and one of a kind shoes (very similar to some I've seen in Europe, not in the US). Every time I bring a friend into this shop, they end up buying something from Ruti. Very well made design, and you'll be sure to receive lots of compliments!

I adore this store! I love working with the sales team. Liz and Allison, you are the best! When new things come in, they text me with items they think will look good on me. How sweet right? The clothes are so fun and unusual, yet stand the test of time. The accessories are amazing too. I get so many compliments when I am wearing Ruti outfits. Thank you Ruti and Team! You really go the extra mile with all of the details!

Allison is great at helping you find your way here. I shopped the sale items and they were affordable. I know I have things of lasting value and quality that will be in my wardrobe for a long time. I walked out with the clothes I bought on me and received compliments all day. I said, 'I am just a walking Ruti advertisement from head to toe.' As a photo stylist acquaintance once told me, 'buy good pieces'. if you can only afford one good piece here buy it. it will stay in your wardrobe forever. amazing designer clothing. affordable prices.

I stopped into this store instead of just walking by as usual. The clothing is a bit hard to imagine when not worn, but Allison helped me select a few pieces and they were great! They are pricey, for sure. But they are well made, interesting shapes and so unlike the boring and disposable mall-shop clothing. The next time I returned, Allison greeted me by name and had a few other items in mind for me. She and all of the other associates I've seen there are good at suggesting items but they are or pushy or insulted if you don't like something. I've had issues with 2 items but I returned them with no problem for store credit. I recommend this store! Give it a try!

I was never offered a price match. The coupon should have been applied to the Molly B price. That's what I would have done if it were my business. Yes, it was nice to have a coupon, but kind of sad that it was used to bring the price down to what it should have been in the first place.

It's a pricey boutique, and not everyone's style. It's not mainstream (read: boring) and not too aging Berkeley. The woman working today, Meagan (sp?) is a champ. She was pulling items out to try and steering customers towards flattering fits. She diplomatically sorted sizes. While I was trying dresses three regulars came in. She knew their names and commented on prior purchases. Yet, I felt as part of things despite it being my first visit.

The store has beautifully designed clothes that will fit a normal-sized woman. It's stylish AND comfortable/wearable. The assistance is also excellent: pleasant, unpretentious, makes suggestions without forcing things. I wish the items weren't so expensive but they are things I haven't seen elsewhere--a combination of commonsense wearability AND international-stylish.
