I visited Blair Ritchey Functional Luxury handbag store on the 1st day of August in 2026, a…read moreSaturday. It was a busy day outside of the store because the Lakewood Arts Festival was happening but the store itself wasn't busy at all. There was only one other person in the store when I arrived who was actually leaving so I had the store to myself while I was there. The store has a nice collection of handbags (big and small) with accessories ranging in price from $100-$450. All handbags appear to be made of good quality leather. While I didn't buy anything, I enjoyed my time browsing the store. Customer service was nice as I was greeted when I walked in. I hope to come back again to look at their limited stationery section because I like stationery (notebooks, etc). A NOTE FROM BLAIR (from website) -- "I began Blair Ritchey in 2010, in a spare bedroom with my sewing machine, a few hides of leather, and my pup Monroe at my feet. It is so fulfilling to see how much has changed over the years; transitioned all manufacturing to New York and Chicago, the team has grown from 1 to 4, we opened a retail shop in 2022, expanded our shipping and receiving studio, all while staying rooted in customer service and intentional design. I design every bag and accessory with you in mind. Each handbag should remain practical, serve a purpose, and beautifully complement an outfit." **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 170/250 total reviews in 2026 - 1011 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 31 August 2026

I visit this shopping plaza in Westlake, Ohio to order food from Brassica for lunch or dinner…read more Westlake is a neighbourhood that is located west of downtown Cleveland. This plaza is close to Crocker Park mall in Westlake. I don't come to this shopping plaza often but I love Brassica alot and I wish there was a closer location to where I live. Brassica is a popular Mediterranean restaurant that opened in Columbus, Ohio in 2015 then opened in Cleveland (Shaker Heights) in 2019. They opened the Westlake location here at the West Bay Plaza in January 2024. I haven't explored the other businesses in the actual shopping plaza yet but it appears to be a decent shopping complex. They have a wax business, Sierra Trading Post (for clothes), Ulta beauty (makeup and skin care), a pilates studio, a vision center, etc. If you are shopping for clothing, you should visit Crocker Park mall. The West Bay Plaza doesn't have alot of clothing shopping options. I recommend stopping by the West Bay Plaza to buy lunch or dinner at Brassica. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 86/150 total reviews in 2024 - 736 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 10 August 2024

West Bay Plaza is a strip mall in the Westlake neighborhood of Cleveland. As of May 2024, this…read morestrip mall is recently renovated and contains about 22 businesses. Stores include Pearle Vision, T-Mobile, Pet Supplies Plus, Kirkland's, Ulta, Fresh Thyme grocery store, Homesense, and Sierra Trading Post. Restaurants include Chipotle, Jimmy John's, Arashi Japanese Steakhouse, Cafe Tandoor, and Brassica. Personal-care businesses include Salon Lofts, Tina's Nails, Sport Clips, Club Pilates, Spenga, Hand and Stone Massage, Club Champion, Drybar, and Waxxpot. This mall does not have much clothing, shoes, and accessories. (The Crocker Park mall across the street has those types of stores.) Nonetheless, this mall does have stores for other types of products, and I recommend it mostly for local residents.

Affordable Gifts in Good Taste…read more This little shop has been here since at least 1997, when I first came upon it just before Christmas that year. Without success, I'd been looking for holiday-related gifts for co-workers, that weren't silly, Disney character-related, juvenile, or something they'd already have or would likely receive. It had to be unique and affordable---but for no more than about $12. I found every gift here. Gifts Unlimited had the perfect selection of well-made and out-of-the-ordinary, but instead of choosing 3 or 4 different items, I opted for all the same in the two diffferent color choices. Pine Cones! Gold and Silver, life-size, life-like, textured, shiny/matte finish on each, sparkly, and quite heavy. Festive, decorative, and holiday-themed paper weights! A dieing what-not. But so cute. They used them, too---or at least displayed them---and no fights or comparing who got what. Sorry I never kept one for myself. Since then, this well-stocked shop has never disappointed. Same thing happened yesterday. I found the perfect, inexpensive gift for someone who already has everything she needs. I'd been looking for something small to display on a window sill or bathroom cabinet. Perfect. Cat-related. Was originally 19.00, and reduced to just 11.50. I'm sure you'll find a delightful, well-priced item here, too. Though small, the floor plan is very interesting and well-thought-out---like an easily-maneuvered, customer-friendly maze. The probably three dozen different displays are like little vignettes---each featuring a particular theme or material---whether on wood cabinets, tables, or glass shelving. In addition to the many hundreds of unique gift items and collectibles, you'll find the expected cards, gift wrapping, and small stained glass window ornaments. This is definitely a place to check out. It was a real pleasure. Especially when I found the perfect gift---again---and had two very friendly, happy-to-work-there, good-natured women to assist me.

The previous review was enough to bring my mother and I in for some last-minute Christmas shopping…read more The best way to get me pissed immediately after entering an establishment is to ignore your patrons entirely, and the 3-or-so staffers here at Gifts Unlimited did so impeccably. To be ignored the whole time we shopped around the store as some of the only patrons there makes for a very frustrating shopping experience for someone with my retail expectations, and they're lucky we still bought some things. I either have one of those faces, or a simple "Hi, welcome!" is way too much to ask in some parts of Cleveland. Some of the items are nice but nothing you can't find at the Cleveland Flea if you're looking for local goods. I have no need or desire to come back.

Depending on where you live, sometimes you don't want to drive to Crocker Park mall in Westlake or to Beachwood mall in Beachwood so this small mall is a nice option.

During our visit, the woman working there made an unsolicited comment about my mother's body, telling her she was "too skinny." Regardless of someone's size, I don't think employees should be commenting negatively on a customer's body or weight while they're shopping. It made the experience uncomfortable and was completely unnecessary. She kept saying we can share outfit and one size fits all.. I'm 4'10 106 lbs.. mom is about 5'1 92 lbs.. tops are all loose pants/dresses aren't short girl friendly We still made a purchase..I bought a bracelet after telling her I was in the works of investing in a Jade piece. For near $25 after tax. it was represented to me as suc. Afterward, I discovered that the bracelet appears to be jasper indian agate, while VTrendz website itself literally has bracelets specifically advertised as Jade for around 9$ on their website. I would not have paid $25 for this bracelet had I known I was purchasing a different stone Between the inappropriate comment toward my mother and the concerns surrounding how my purchase was represented, I'm extremely disappointed with this experience. I'm requesting that VTrendz make this right with a refund and clarify exactly what was sold to me. Customers should be able to shop without having their bodies commented on and should be able to trust that merchandise is accurately represented.
