Exceptionally eclectic collections, but chronically understaffed. We've been coming here for years for the wonderful eclectic collection. Service had its ups and downs, as other reviewers have noted. But our recent experience has been wonderful. Lauren has been patient, accommodating, and helpful, but clearly can't handle the entire store alone on a busy weekend. We hope that she'll get help soon, so we can resume shopping here.

Beautifully curated shop with the worst customer service. Consistently!Also, google the prices online before purchasing. They mark their products higher than MSRP.

The people who are giving the bad reviews just need to chill. It's a great store with the Wonderfull workers. Judging on the accent or nationality is not OK. The retail workers are tired, underpaid and exhausted from the clients unreasonable demands. The small shops are hit by shoplifters, homeless and drug addicts all the time. Here is the photo of BAZAR during 2020 riots to give you some perspective of what it is like to be a small shop.

I didn’t have a very good shopping experience at the store, they have cool collections, but the staff works there doesn’t give out a welcoming energy.They answer your questions although not in the most friendly way, which makes me regret buying something from the store, and found out everything they sold is FINAL SALE!I wouldn’t recommend it to people I know, you want to have a pleasant shopping experience when you spend money, besides most of their items are on the pricy side.

Horrible staff. The woman working was extremely rude, she has ginger/red hair with glasses. A sample had broke and she made my friend buy it... it was a sample candle. If it was product that was actually being sold I would understand why she would make someone buy it. But it was a sample, I have worked at many retail spots and that is just horrible customer service. Definitely wouldn't recommend coming here. She was snarky and rude and continued to talk rudely to us as we left. Get a new employee.

Bought loads of things here over the years, but the red haired French sales person is so rude I can’t stand to go back anymore

I felt ignored when walking in and greeting the ladies working there. Then I asked a question about an item and the interaction was unfriendly. Sorry for being interested in purchasing something.

They have the most beautiful jewelry but the worst staff. I went in today after having been a repeat customer. I told the woman this, that I have a mini collection of necklaces from Bazar made by a local Venice jeweler. I asked for their name because I can't remember and the woman rudely said "there is no designer" ... this woman is new, I let her know I've purchased multiple pieces and I've been told the artisan's name before but can't remember. The woman continued to say "we don't have the name, it falls under Bazar, it is general stock" so clearly this woman has no idea what she's talking about. She was also condescending when I asked for prices for certain pieces, saying "oh, that piece? Yeah, that's expensive..." and I would then have to say "ok yes I assume, what's the price" only for her then to tell me the price finally. She assumed I couldn't afford anything in the store and was not subtle about it. I settled on a piece, she made me confirm the price 3 times. I told her I didn't have my wallet and I had to use Apple Pay; she said this was okay. I go to do it and she asks for my ID. I have never been asked for my ID with an Apple Pay before, and I've spent more money than this. The woman denied me saying she needs my ID. I reminded her that I don't have my wallet, thus no ID, and she then asked me why I didn't have my ID saved in my phone. Condescending again. I walked out. Overall really awful experience, I honestly don't know if I'll ever go back and this was my favorite place to go for jewelry for years. Such a shame

Lovely store with unique, beautifully curated items from around the world. Interaction with the French saleswoman was lovely as well -- she was helpful, informative, and answered my many questions about all the interesting wares in the store. When I eventually settled on a piece to buy as a gift, she spoke extensively about the artist who made it and the history and trajectory of his work. I just thought it was a cool-looking bag, but she helped me understand how special and bespoke the piece actually was. The woman knows her stuff and has excellent taste.

Don't let bad reviews scare you away from this quaint little shop in Venice. I stumbled upon the store while walking around Venice looking for holiday gifts for family. This was a rare case where my wife and I bought products and then went to yelp afterwards to read a review on how helpful and knowledgeable the staff was, but I read several reviews talking about how rude the customer service was. I couldn't have had a more opposite experience. All of the inventory they hold is so unique and I haven't seen it anywhere else. I had several questions about the glass and drinkware, and we ended up buying a whole wine glass set made from reclaimed glass (how cool?!). Prices on some items are pretty high, but there are great fines for affordable prices within the store. The staff was super helpful, and I met the French owner who checked us out, and she was very lovely. We are going to go back for stocking stuffers!

French owner rude and unfriendly. She reminds me of some of the rudest people that I came in contact with while visiting France. The store has some beautiful hand made clothing however the owners attitude put me off, so much that I refused to spend my money at her shop. The owner must feel miserable. Otherwise, she wouldn't treat people with such disdain.
