“The backpack giveaway this past Saturday was BOMB! Jumpers, nachos, plenty school supplies and backpacks, free haircuts, and a safe environment! Job well done! Looking forward to next year! Thank you all for giving back to the community!”
“My new favorite shop! They have an amazing selection of nudie jeans and so many other great brands. The owners were so helpful, and had a lot of wisdom to share about women’s jeans and fits which was helpful. Will definitely come back.”
“Came in to support FAB. Always nice to see the King of the Hyphy Movement. Unc wasn’t there kinda disappointed I didn’t get to meet his funny personality. Highly recommended for all family and folks. Support small business.”
“I had my first free trial class here a week ago and would highly recommend this studio if you are interested in trying out Pure Barre.
My first class was Pure Barre Align with Rachel and the 50 minute class went by quickly. It was not too difficult to keep up but still felt challenging at the same time. I went back for more classes and tried the Pure Barre Classic and other instructors (Greer, Paris & Maya). Both Classic & Align are great for beginners to just get a feel for the class and learn the movements. The studio is clean, the temperature is comfortable, and the instructors are welcoming and helpful. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.”
“I recently ordered a bday gift from Bella vita, but realized I had it shipped to my home address instead of the bday person's address. I called bella vita as soon as they opened, and was able to change the address without any issues. I spoke with Allegra, and she was so kind and thoughtful! When she found out it was a bday gift, she offered to wrap it! The gift arrived today and it was beautifully wrappe and even had a bow! The bday person sent me a pic. I am so impressed with the attn to detail and excellent customer service! Reminds me of shopping at Macy's in the 80s when they still had a wonderful gift wrap dept. You just don't get this type of service nowadays. Thank you SO much Allegra!!! You are the best!”
“The staff members were super-friendly and honest about the fit of my hoodie when I was last here a while back. I ended up getting a more slim-fitting one and it actually sort of keeps me motivated to exercise and keep trim (just so I can fit in it). I get compliments on it often.
The selection of products is nicely curated. You'll find things here that you won't easily find at other stores.
Every time I visit Oakland I try to poke my head into this shop to see what's in store (literally).”
“My partner and I had an absolutely incredible experience shopping here. Sharon was lovely and gave great suggestions based on what we were looking for, and we walked away with the perfect outfits!! Clothes shopping for plus sizes can be so frustrating but it was wonderful and I will definitely come back.”
“This little shop had a cool selection of high quality brands and local made items. Would highly recommend if you're looking for interesting prints, and colors that aren't boring neutrals! I bought two bandanas that are totally unique and lovely quality.”
“The employees here are so friendly and chic! Their consignment rates are extremely reasonable compared to other places, and their collection is well curated! Love this place.”
“I love this store (and designer) so much. I have a mix of clothes and jewelery from them. Their XXL sizes fit me so perfectly and it is rare to find independant designer stuff that is made thoughtfully at larger sizes.
I have yet to be out and about in a Lesley Evers piece and not get complimented on it. The quality has been great, and I can always find something there that makes me smile.”

“I had an issue with a shoe size I bought in store. This place isn't for low income shooters, it is was not expensive than I might normally go for but I wanted solid strong shoes. I was able to get them replaced after 2 days. I'm disappointed that they tried to unplug my feedback after only 2 days and a request for exchange one”

“I went to Chic today for the first time in a while, because we moved to Walnut Creek 3 years ago. It is such an amazing store—lots of unusual and beautiful clothes. I bought 2 dresses for a spring wedding in NYC. Rana is so helpful, and so knowledgeable. Wonderful shopping experience!!”
“I found my qipao for my Tea Ceremony at Sasha's! The staff were friendly and patient with my sister and I as we tried on a large selection of their qipaos, which were all reasonably priced. I bought my qipao a year in advance and lost a bit of weight by my Tea Ceremony, but they were able to do a quick alteration and it fit like a glove. I wanted to lift the Phoenix design so it'd sit higher on my bust, but it was too complicated of an alteration and they warned the neckline might not sit as straight if they took everything apart. I appreciated their transparency, and the finished product still turned out great! Thanks for helping me feel like a princess on my special day!”
“Happy customer ⭐ first purchase! Found them through an eBay listing and was glad to see their personal site in the bio. Ordered, shipped and arrived in under 2 days (I’m kinda local 😆). Thank you 🙏🏼”
“This was my 1st choice for a well deserved birthday party in Las Vegas. It was requested to honor the birthday person with RED Attire. She had contributed many years of support and service for a specific purpose. I equally determined to honor Proper Fashions with my purchase. As I feel the love all the time here. I left satisfied. Might I add, The Label choice made it even a better experience as the company tag read: KOKOMO Unlimited! My mother wrote an original song using “KOKOMO” Wowwwwwww Gene and Eunice on YouTube”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience here finding my wedding dress! They had an incredible selection, everyone was so kind and helpful and I couldn't love my wedding dress anymore! 10 out of 10 would absolutely recommend anyone looking to get a gorgeous dress!”
“I love this shop. Great clothes for great prices. The pieces I have gotten from there are high quality, clean, and stylish. Their homewares section is also decent. I try to stop by when I am on Piedmont Ave.”
“This may be the best place and price for alterations in the entire Bay Area.
I got pants altered for (I think it was) $7 or $8 here. Other places I called gave me a quote of $15+.
I also got a shirt with straps that were too long cut and shortened for me and it was only $5.
They helped me fix a jacket that was too big as well for $15. Really happy with the quality of the alterations too, it has held up even after many washes.”
“I love having the chance to stop in here and look around. I always find unique things that fit, I know I’ll end up walking away with something special every time”
