Rude staff that doesn’t greet anyone. They don’t speak to you when you purchase things ,either. All I got was, “want a bag?”Wildly overpriced, poor quality clothes. Shop somewhere else.

One of my favorite shops in Brooklyn! They have their own line & they feature a bunch of cool independent designers, they got me and my partner hooked on Fried Rice, LF Markey, and many more. The associates are always super helpful and super friendly. Definitely one of the best curated shops around, 10/10 recommend!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

This place does a great job curating men's clothing, the problem is they always run out of the smaller sizes, they would literally double their sales if they kept the supply.I would have bought four shirts if they actually came in my size.

I recently had a positive experience with this store. I ordered a beautiful scarf online and was awaiting it's delivery a week before Christmas. When I arrived home to the lobby of my apartment building during the evening, my package was torn open where upon some j*** stole the item out of the bag. I was infuriated as anyone could imagine. I have lived in NYC for twenty years and never faced a mail theft/tampering issue until now, which only happens to be a federal crime. I contacted my local police precinct and they were unable to offer help. They instructed me to reach out to the postal police, whom were also unable to facilitate my request for assistance. I then opened an account with the USPS to file a claim online, whose system crashed. It was quite frustrating. I realize it is just a scarf, but after I spent sixty dollars including tax, I truly wanted to add this to my repertoire of winter items because I liked the unique color and attention to details. I contacted the customer service rep, Monica, and explained my situation in the body of an email. It took a couple of conversations and approaches, but Monica stepped up, and happily replaced this item. She even waited to resend my scarf until I returned to the city after visiting family out west for the holiday to ensure I would receive it, which was thoughtful and decent. Monica was professional, accommodating and communicative. Certain businesses would have done nothing to mitigate the problem I encountered, but Alter didn't. I appreciate their timely response and how my honest nature about what took place was acknowledged, and lastly, the affect of good customer service where resolutions are found to impact, and to satisfy the consumer. I would not hesitate to purchase something again from this boutique. Thank you, Monica :)

Alter has been there for years and years. Constant new selection. Private. Just the right amount of attention from staff. Interesting brands. Prices Reflect Being in Brooklyn, and not on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Therefore Likely to leave store in a good mood. Only criticism is it feels a little precious. Could feel a little more corporate and their selection could feel a little more serious and less whimsical.

I've been shopping here since the day it opened. I lived in Greenpoint before the ferries, before the condos, when the "waterfront" was littered with broken bottles from the Polish liquor store. This used to be a go-to for local designer streetwear and hand-hewn accessories such as leather bracelets, beautiful talon rings, and nice leather boots. I've bought quite a few Uzi pieces over the years, own their "kimono" belt, etcetera. The menswear often had heft in the textiles and nice, dark woven motifs were easy to find. However, the curation has turned much more... *basic* in the last couple years. The jewelry in particular looks incredibly cheap, made of cheap metal, like something you could get at a mall for teens. The new-in section is full of unflattering ecru and terra-cotta cropped and body tops that look good on NO ONE. Alter turned from something you could wear to a high-fashion cast reunion of Blade, to the same milquetoast Cali Instagrammer stuff you can get anywhere now. I've actually been to their new outpost in LA and got a nice deep green summer jumpsuit there, so this isn't to impugn their efforts to reach a new crowd, but come on--this is NEW YORK CITY headquarters. We need STURDY materials and designs with an edge. Even the music in the store now sounds like the b-side to the Ingrid Goes West soundtrack. Please, please get back to the core Alter feel because it pains me to see the same minimalist geometric crap and boxy, ugly, chunky linen sacks that every other boutique sells. P.S. The sunglasses are still great.

Best boutique in the neighborhood. I bring guests from out of town if I want to impress them.
