Peony Couture is a cute shop in the Burlington Arcade with beautiful, high quality kids clothing. I…read morecome here to buy special occasion clothing for my kids, friends' kids, and nieces and nephews. The owner is kind and very helpful when I clearly state what I'm looking for and the occasion. While the items aren't individually tagged with pricing, you can always ask and the owner can quickly quote you. She isn't pushy, but rather helpful. I've bought Petit Bateau dresses for a friend's daughter's first birthday, Mayoral birthday dresses for my nieces, and Easter, Christmas, and wedding guest dresses for my kids. The store also carries very cute separates that you can match. Depending on the brand, some of the older youth sizes fit petite adults so I've been able to get the same jacket to match my kids. There's also a small section of the store where the owner sells "vintage" clothing that has been previously loved. My favorite brands to buy here are Mayoral, Abel and Lula, and Tartine et Chocolat. The store also carries cute European toys and sometimes books. The one star Yelp reviews seem strange as it seems those reviewers don't understand how a business is run and they expect to see department store pricing and discounting. This shop is a small business that doesn't have the volume of Nordstrom or Bloomingdale's; thus, the pricing reflects the overhead to run the business and the transportation costs that imported clothing incur. There's a reason folks choose to shop local. The beauty of life here is that no one is forcing you to shop here specifically. If the price doesn't fit your budget, drive the distance to another shop, pay the fee to buy it elsewhere and have it shipped to you, or you can fly to Europe and buy it directly at the stores there. Long story short: try this place out as the clothing is high quality, the selection is great, and the owner is so kind. Support small business!

Peony Couture in Pasadena is such a gem. My daughter LOVES coming here. The staff is always so…read moresweet and respectful and they truly make her feel special every time we walk in. Their dress selection is beautiful and unique lots of gorgeous European brands like Bonpoint and Tartine et Chocolat. Everywhere my daughter goes, people always compliment her outfits. She also loves the tea parties they host, it's such a fun and classy experience for little girls. Highly recommend if you're looking for high quality children's clothing and amazing customer service.

I would love to be able to actually experience this store in a positive light. Our first time…read morevisiting was after Christmas last year (maybe a weekish after). The store was completely picked over--bare shelves, no stuffed animals, but a plethora of overpriced leotards and dance-like costumes. I guess somewhat understandable, but still disappointing. My daughter left extremely saddened. The second time we came (and also *paid* for parking), we walked to the entrance to find it--CLOSED (6/9/26)! I had to whip out my phone because why would a store be closed on a Tuesday at a day and time of normal operating hours? Another family with a little girl asked if we came to see the store and I said yes. She said they posted on their Instagram they were closed and were also saddened they couldn't go inside. I get that things happen but we live 1.5 hours away and made a dr specialist appt nearby and made sure to stop here specifically since we were finally close. I cannot tell you how frustrating it is. I don't go on social media to make sure a business is open that day. I *did* check their website and they were supposed to be open. From what we saw the first time around (picked over items) and what we could see through the glass the second time, we won't ever be coming back for a third time. The store is small, not a huge selection, but a higher price point for the same items found elsewhere. I told my daughter if she saw anything through the glass then I would just google it and buy it online for her. I would much rather support small businesses but it makes it hard when they don't really seem to value their customers. As I said, this store is quite small and doesn't have anything we wanted that we couldn't buy elsewhere. I wish they were better stocked the first time and had more employees to actually run the business during their supposed operating hours, but this just left my daughter devastated and me frustrated and angry the second time. We won't be back to be fooled again. Shame on us.

The Unicorn Store is down an alley way (I guess you can say behind Sephora). I have always wanted…read moreto visit this store because it just peaked my interest but have only visited Old Town Pasadena at night, after they were closed. But this past Sunday, my husband, our little girl dog and I finally got a chance to visit since we were visiting Old Town Pasadena during the afternoon. When we walked in, we were greeted by an employee behind the register at the back of the store. This store is very cute and really would be a little girl's dream because of all the unicorns, pink, glitter and sparkle. I ended up purchasing a mermaid coloring book for my nieces to add to their Christmas gifts that I have for them, but not sure if they are even into mermaids (and my husband doesn't seem to know either if they are or if they are into unicorns. These little girls change their interests so often it is hard to keep up). But I'd love to take them to this store and see if they would want anything (and knowing me, I would most likely let them each pick out one item and I would purchase it for them). Overall, I really enjoyed my shopping visit and would come back for gifts in the future (maybe could also find a fun white elephant gift or a secret santa gift in here too).

The customer service was amazing: I could email and/or call Alyssa and she was very responsive, PATIENT, professional, and helpful.

**Great for Fewer Blowouts, but Some Leaks & Order Issues**…read more Luludew has been a great cloth diapering option for our family! We noticed **far fewer blowouts** compared to disposables, which was a huge plus. However, we did experience **more pee leaks**, so we had to change diapers a bit more frequently. One of the biggest wins was that using Luludew helped us **fully potty train our daughter at just 22 months**, which was amazing! Unfortunately, we had to stop using the service with our twins because of **frequent order mix-ups**, which became too frustrating to manage. That said, I still **highly recommend** Luludew for their quality and eco-friendly approach. If they can work out the order issues, it would be a 5-star experience!

This store is a little hidden gem in the corner of the San Gabriel valley…read more I needed invitations to an upcoming summer event, and something a little bit snazier and with a personal touch than what you buy at the greeting card stores, but not as ridiculously expensive. (My parents were getting remarried for their anniversary). Thanks to the Yelp reviews I drove to this small store, and was surprised by the quality and atmosphere of Periwinkle. * This place was the best of all worlds for me *: - A truly new shopping discovery, as I do not buy a lot of paper products - Hints of quality vintage material, which I am appreciating as I get older - That sense that I am getting a great deal on stuff that would normally be a LOT more expensive elsewhere. (let me translate that into shopping-speak: Prices are SALE PRICES elsewhere!!!!) - Great personal service by the staff, who were eager to help me make style and color decisions without pushing or up-selling anything my way - Bringing back that childhood joy of watching my own product come together before my eyes, done by my own hands. Like crafts shop, but at an adult, professional level - And did I mention the staff was helpful? I felt more like I was at a friend's house working on a project than at some store with a body minding the counter waiting for the clock to hit quitting time. I kid you not that I felt giddy in the store, and wanted to stay long after closing time to come up with different and new ideas of things to create and add to my parents wedding (and my own home.) When I got my final bill for my sale, I could not believe how much I had saved. It is a bit of a drive, but well worth it. Needless to say my family has been surprised by the quality of the invites, and I am very pleased with my experience. I am looking for any excuse just to go back there and work on something again.
