Beach By Everything But Water - Receipt showing double charged for same item twice - Women's Clothing Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

See all

Great place lots of choices and selection. The carry Love Shack Fancy dresses which are so feminine, beautiful and I adore. Lots of styles, colors, varieties. The staff is helpful, fun and kind. I think they can work on making the dressing rooms a little fancier for the price they charge for the items but overall an amazing place. Great people, location is a hit spot near the pier so stay for lunch after. Amazing place. 5 stars! read more

Great swimsuits. This is a splurge location for me but the sale rack can provide hidden gems on occasion.

#1 swimsuit store!! Swimsuits are of high quality and luxurious brands worth their value. Staff members were so nice, attentive, gave me great recommendations and made me feel comfortable at all times. I had a great experience and can't wait to go back! Shout out to Veronica, Lanaea, and Natalie read more

It's lost some of the creativity it used to have, the clerk/manager seemed pre-occupied. The display tables were just okay, I did notice one gondola in the front of the store had a coffee cup on it, not impressed. Thank goodness it's in a prime location. read more

I came in this week to shop for a swimming suit and enjoyed their selection. I found a really cute suit on sale for half price which made for a successful shopping trip. As much as I love my new suit I am writing this review because Rachel who helped me had incredible customer service skills. She grabbed additional sizes for me to try on and was incredibly kind and professional the entire time. read more

I bought a very expensive swim suit yesterday and no where in the store did i see the return policy posted nor did the sales associate tell me at checkout. I assumed it would be like any other store, 7 days or 30 days with tags still attacked. Well here, you do not get to exchange Or return AT ALL on any swimsuit or shoes or accessories. It's literally a swimwear store and you can't return something... that's insane. read more

Founded 1912 is my new favorite store in Manhattan Beach! Not only do they have the best selection of swimwear in the South Bay, they carry brands like Retrofête, Lisa Marie Fernandez, Significant Other and Gucci jewelry. They've got you covered from day at the beach to night on the town. The sales team incredibly helpful and refreshingly honest! I truly had the greatest experience! read more

I love this store and the local families who own it. I always walk out with something I absolutely love. Quality clothing and swimwear. All of the girls who work there are so helpful and kind! FIVE STARS 100% #feedlocalbusiness #familyowned #beststoreinmb read more

I love to shop at boutiques Over department stores or chains any day. This is one of the best boutiques to find amazing designer swim and clothes I've ever been to. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful as well. read more

Purchased a pair of sandals here that discolored completely within less than an hour of wear and the store refused to take them back, despite a clear quantity issue. Don't shop here. read more

BEST SWIMSUIT STORE!!!!!!! I cannot stress enough how welcoming the staff made me feel, and how helpful they were. As soon as you walk in the door you can feel the positive energy that the store brings about. The swimsuits are to die for and you will want to buy one of everything in the store! The staff was so helpful when choosing/trying on the swim suits. I will continue to shop here for all my swimsuit and beach needs! Best store ever I highly recommend to everyone! read more

If I could give this store negative stars I would. I live locally and have been a loyal customer in the past. Nobody in the store ever expressed their return/exchange policy I went back 24 hours after buying overpriced items that I no longer wanted and they would not take any of them back or even give me store credit. The tags were still on and I had not touched them. The sales associate was beyond rude and I am horribly disappointed that I ever supported this business in the first place. Do NOT shop here. Shop on revolve with a normal return policy / same brands / better quality. I am seriously sad and let down. For a local business, I am not sure how this place has stayed open. read more

I'm in love with Alyse Benjamin her customer service is amazing she is the best I will marry her

The best of the west! Looking for the most fashionable beach-ware? Look no further! Come in to founded and ask for not store manager alyse!

I have gone into founded 1912 numerous times and it has always been an amazing experience. The managers are so friendly and welcoming and have always treated me and all of the other customers like their priority no matter how many people are in the store. I always love shopping there when I go out of town as they have everything from bathing suits to loungewear to more formal pieces. It's dangerous going in there as I always find something I love but I can't stop going in! Definitely the best bathing suit boutique in Manhattan Beach and would recommend it to anyone! read more

I can honestly say this is my favorite place to shop! I have been here quite often and am always greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable staff - they go above and beyond to help me find exactly what I want!!! I can't understand why anyone would give this place negative reviews especially the comments in previous reviews referring to the return policy... they are obviously people who don't normally shop in boutiques. Also I can tell you because I have shopped here many times - they are very clear on their return policy and it is posted at each register and on all receipts. read more

LOVE this shop! I was in desperate need of some high quality suits and the sale rack at founded answered my prayers! Ava, you were so genuinely sweet and helpful. I appreciate all your enthusiasm and support. Quality suits and a good selection. Great sale section. read more

I was looking for a bathing suit and saw it on founded 1912s Instagram. When I dmed them they answered immediately and put it on hold until I was able to come in. Fantastic customer service and was so grateful the process was so quick and easy. When I got to the store it was so organized and neat and I will be back soon to get some more pieces from them!! read more

Awesome Boutique with the most amazing bathing suits and clothing! Very friendly staff that helped me find the right sizes and even offered options I would never have thought of trying on! This is a family owned business and they obviously Love what they do because they do it so well! This is a MUST visit when you're in the LA area. I live on the east coast and I Always stop in when I'm in LA. I alway look forward to going here - they have much more than clothing. I find so many things here and everything is very well made. So Many options All in One Place!! I Love it and can't wait to go back!! read more

As a bi-racial, gender-fluid, non-binary individual, I can say its hard to find somewhere that I feel comfortable to shop. The staff here were just amazing during my entire visit. Upon entry, a friendly group of beautiful lil senoritas (she/her pronouns, so cute) welcomed me with a friendly hello and complimented me on my outfit and hat. Damn girls, now that is how you greet a sexy bitch! They took their time to help me find just the right bikini for my figure, just a lil more cushion on me but I found love! Now you gotta understand you get what you pay for, and this drinkable glass of water does not go to Chucky Cheese for a gourmet dinner! My credit card may have heated up but so will I, later when I'm working the runway beach and snapping necks from others turning too fast to get a glance at this lil lemon drop. Def returnin to this spot and telling all my friends to come! read more

The staff and products were nothing less than fabulous! Love that it's a local, family owned establishment.

Do NOT shop here. Horrible customer service. The management is incredibly disrespectful and their return policy is nonexistent for overpriced items. Shop online for the brands you like. Even if you live locally, skip the convenience of walking in. 10/10 would not recommend. If you're looking to spend $200+ on one item go elsewhere for better service and quality. read more

I absolutely love this store!!! Super cute clothes and great location. Definitely stop in if you are in manhattan beach. Last time I went in I worked with the manager ava and she was so so sweet and made sure I was comfortable in everything I purchased and was an overall safe environment read more

I found my absolute favorite boutique in the South Bay! This store is pure decadence! I love the selection of bathing suits, sandals, jewelry, dresses, shorts, hats etc. The girls that work their are so sweet and very helpful. Its so nice to shop where they are friendly and greet you with a smile. I love everything I bought and can't wait to wear it on vacation. I will definitely be back to shop and highly recommend this boutique! read more

As an update to my prior review: the owner Tara Nages personally called me the same day I wrote my review. She was kind, respectful and apologized for my negative experience, assuring me that she would address it personally. On top of that, she sent me a hand-written note and a thoughtful gift. I commend Tara for her personal approach to customer service. read more
