I found that they carry Clare V. handbags - they currently have the ones that are made from real leather, the kind that is buttery soft to the touch! (oooh). I found a book I was first introduced to via social media and when I had recognized it on their shelf, I knew it was meant to find me. There were a few eye-catching prints and colors apparel brands - on the higher-end price point, but looked to be well-made pieces. Good place to try to find a gift for someone or for yourself.

I adore the selection at Foxglove. The items I've bought there range from $50-$82 (they were on…read moresale) and from what I've seen, some items - especially regular price - go up to ~$100-$150. Expensive on a student budget, BUT their pieces are absolutely beautiful. Though I rarely shop for clothes, I treasure my blue wrap dress from Global Mamas and embroidered blouse from Foxglove. I cannot emphasize enough how much I love walking around on a beautiful spring day in Berkeley wearing these pieces. If you have the pocket change, treat yourself! I usually characterize the clothing look I love as "museum lady" and Foxglove fits that bill. The patterns are always interesting (animals, florals, geometrics, the list goes on), the fabric beautiful, and the cut flattering. They also have a TON (if not all?) of fair-trade and ethics-oriented brands. If I knew size and design preference, this is DEFINITELY a place I would buy a gift for a friend. There's also a lot of jewelry in the store, and some socks and knickknacks. I prefer being left on my own when I shop, so the lack of greeting when I walked into the store didn't bother me very much; aside from that, the staff was pretty friendly and I had a good purchasing experience.

**So...once again...my review was removed...** Why? Hurt feelings?…read more As I discovered this...it only gave me more incentive to address this business again...5 years later...what for? Racism. So yelp...don't have a cow...plenty of reviewers have cited racism by literally using the term "racism" in their reviews on yelp when they review other businesses...and their reviews are still up for all to read...Stop removing my honest, truthful reviews - you want an honest community...then let your reviewers speak truth, .racism exists, and plenty of yelpers call it out: In 2020 I entered Sotto Voce... in the neighborhood I grew up in, a resident of this same neighborhood since 1968 in the Thousand Oaks Neighborhood, of Berkeley, CA...daughter of a physician, and mother a nurse...all three of us hold degrees from UC Berkeley - or "Cal," as we refer to this institution of higher learning, which most people are fully aware...and 4 siblings, one who attended Cal, and the other 3 were admitted to Cal, but attended other universities... Now...back to 2020 (BTW...my daughter was given admission to every single UC...including Cal...and a full Regent's Scholarship to her choice of UC...not based on financial need, but based on academic merit...just to give this business owner an understanding that one should not offend someone and make assumptions because other people of color may have injured your sensibilities once upon a time). And...don't demean the youth of any race or age who frequent your business either...clearly you have issues. Otherwise post a sign saying "Youth not welcome." That's sarcasm...or is it... I was with my elderly mom, and daughter...daughter who is Black...and dropped them off at Sotto Voce to do Christmas shopping, as I went about to find a parking spot on busy Solano Avenue...both my daughter and mom entered Sotto Voce together. Upon my entering this business, I saw my daughter at the back of the store, doing her Christmas shopping, as my mom was at the front of the store looking at jewelry in the front glass case....what I witnessed was: A caucasian woman walking behind my daughter's every step her eyes locked in on my kid...and was no less the 3 feet from her...my daughter saw me enter and gave me a look...when I stepped closer, not saying a word to anyone, the woman departed my daughter and went back to the front...where my mom was ALL ALONE. My mom is white. I knew the expression on my daughter's face, and what was going on...The woman had zero idea that I was w/ my daughter and mom...I immediately turned around, and walked up to the front of the store where my mom was, and this woman, greeted me like I was her best pal...hmmmm....she had no idea I witnessed her profiling my kid, and no idea she herself was at that moment speaking to another Black woman...yeah, it's like that. My daughter later told me what happened from the very beginning...that this woman was "on her from the moment she stepped into this store." I proceeded to drop a good $225.00 for Christmas gifts, and did not address this woman because not frequenting her business any longer speaks louder, and my elderly mother was present, and both my daughter and I were trying to have a nice day with her...we just want this woman to understand that if she is the owner, or if she's not... Black people know when others are acting irrationally...we are a well established BLACK family from your business's neighborhood...so please don't assume my kid was looking to steal from you...you have offended three generations of Berkeley residents in one fell swoop...who really have nothing more to say to you...this review stands. You made a great kid feel like she doesn't belong in your store...and traumatized her...and frankly, she's too good for for your store. She's such a great kid, she had no problem w/ me spending money in your store...because we don't hate...we speak the truth...but not with hate. She found a few things her grandmother loved (my mom) and we were not going to allow such an experience ruin our day. In a quiet voice (sotto voce) we will never, ever patronize your business again... The End.

Nothing was mentioned to me about intimate's not being returnable, which I noticed on the receipt once I tried them on and realized they didn't work for me. I called the store multiple times during business hours, never got an answer. The outbound message indicates that the best way to communicate is sending a text versus leaving a message. I did that twice. Both text messages showed up as having been read by the recipient. I received absolutely nothing in response and that is the reason for this poor review.
