No one should feel as though they are being done a favor by frequenting a shop let alone checked out by a sour puss.

Having spent much of my younger "Yeah I'm going out of the house dressed like this, what's the big…read moredeal?" years in NJ - I've developed a strange fascination for short denim shorts. I spied some in the window here the other day and just had to go inside. I've been trying not to spend money on clothes - since my closet literally is overflowing with a wealth of garments that I have yet to wear, but I couldn't help but do some browsing here. As far as clothing - Gala has a hip, nice selection of things. They carry an abundance of Free People clothes, designer jeans, beautiful jewelry and a vast selection of soft cotton shirts, dresses and more.I found alot of the clothes to be fairly muted in color - alot of beiges, blacks, whites, and blues; nice, casual, chic, and wearable - but nothing really popped. That being said - everything felt amazing and high quality to the touch and if I had the space in my closet, and the money in my wallet - I would love to rock any and all of the clothes in Gala. The fourth star is for the friendly woman, working here. She was patient when I was walking around the store, and was more than willing to help - when I had questions about the best place to wait for a cab in the rain. If you're in Larkspur - stop by Gala - if even just to window browse. Their stuff is on the pricier end of things, but it sounds like they rotate their clothes fairly often, and if you're looking for stylish practical wear - they carry a great selection of comfortable and flattering outfits.

I was really excited to come here from the reviews but I was not super impressed. Pros: beautiful…read moreclothing, truly a great selection, well organized, tidy, easy parking. Cons: some things were priced appropriately, I got a Brandy Melville cardigan for $24. But some things were definitely overpriced - I'd say a lot of things. Maybe half the things. Ex: a forever 21 slip dress for $22. Probably cost that much (or less) brand new. I found the staff person to be very cool in temperature. Not icy cold, but far from warm or personable, and I did not feel super comfortable because of that. She was a bit cold toward both myself and another costumer. Just not inviting at all, and I'm not itching to go back. But would I stop in if I were in the area? Sure. Would I drive 20 minutes again? Prob not.

I have never consigned anything before, so maybe how Shimmer operates is SOP for consignment…read morestores. I brought several high-end purses to consign last Fall. My appointment was on a day that the store was closed. My purses were taken at the door - I was not invited in to discuss which purses were wanted or the selling prices. I was not given an opportunity to withdraw the purses if I felt the selling prices were too low. I was never given an inventory of what they kept or the prices. Security isn't great - when I went to pickup the 3 purses that went unsold, only 2 were located - the third was apparently shoplifted. The owner was unsympathetic and unconcerned.

Im sad to write this as Carolina has been one of my favorite stores for many years - they always…read morestock such beautiful items and the people who work there are kind, never pushy and always helpful. With that said - the experience of shopping there has changed...pretty dramatically. I won't pretend that Carolina was ever a place for a bargain - it's always been a high end store with items that would be considered splurges or even out of the range of possibility (for the majority of people). In the last year, the prices have skyrocketed. What used to be the highest priced item is now the norm. $600 sweaters, $800 slip dresses, etc. Listen I get it, it's Mill Valley and an increasingly wealthier demographic with inflation being insane. But also, this sucks? Your prices have literally doubled. What once felt like an occasional shopping treat now just feels alienating and over the top. The owner / buyers have the best taste in town - if you're reading this, could you please bring back some of the more moderately (reasonably) priced brands? I think a lot of the non ultra elite 2% Mill Valley-ites would be super appreciative and love to support you again. But as of now, it's literally impossible. For what it's worth this is not just an opinion of mine but fellow friends who just want to go back to their favorite Carolina. I appreciate you taking the time to read and consider!

Starting off, the age range is definitely on the 40+ end, but I loved their vintage and resort wear sections. You don't always see a quality vintage section in consignment stores and this one was definitely thoughtfully curated. Taste wise for my resort wear, I tend to look for either specialty Hawaiian brands like Ava Sky/Fighting Eel or midlevel designers like White House Black Market. I did come across a couple summery items that peaked my interest without tags, but of the tags I did see, they were only slightly above what I would consider the norm. All in all, I'd be interested what their non-COVID impacted inventory looks like and I'd likely return if we were in the area again.
