This is not the first time I've left feeling like I had a personal shopper to help me make beautiful choices. This store is a real find, and Marcia is a real gem!!!

Merchandise is different every time you go, and you usually have to be prepared to do some rooting around to perhaps find something close to what you were looking for, or things you hadn't budgeted for at all. Don't think I've ever left with an empty buggy. Today I was looking for some frames and/or shadow boxes. No boxes, other than some really big ones that were nice, but far too large for my purposes. Got a couple nice frames. One from the clearance aisle. Managed to get out for under $20. I think that's a first for me. ;) The store was clean and well organized. Couple of associates on the floor pretty much ignored me. I wasn't looking for help, though an acknowledgement would have been good customer service, but the cashier was very friendly. There had been a bit of a lineup at checkout. They quickly brought another staff member up to help out. Good response so people aren't waiting longer than necessary.

All were friendly, and they knew the store well. We picked up a couple of sweaters, some underwear and placed a mail order (which was promptly delivered). There's a good stock here: suits, sweaters, pants, coats, casual and dressy, and pretty good discounts on almost everything we looked at. The tore is clean and roomy, lots of free parking outside, and overall ours was a very good experience. This duplicated a visit here last year when we were helped quickly with a return. Thanks, guys.

I think the owner relinquished the store to her daughter last year, as I was shopping with a friend when they served wine and cheese to their customers in celebration of the event. I've only been in once (it felt a tiny bit different under the mgmt of the daughter) to check it out, but plan to stop in very soon. If you need something a bit upscale and special to wear to an event, or just feel like treating yourself, this is the place. They also have fun odds and ends like hair sticks and barrettes, scarves, socks, xmas ornaments, cards, stocking stuffers, candles, etc. in a small but comfortable shop with excellent , relaxing music that somehow makes it feel almost like a friend's living room. They also have a nice little jewelry case with mostly silver, but many things to pamper your senses.

Always a good selection of clothes and accessories. Plus the staff is very friendly and helpful!!read more

Oh, go to the LL Bean outlet and buy another carry on sized bag to check (no joke, this is the 5th time I have done this). I Yelped to find this location that I do not remember seeing before. Since I was in Portsmouth already, I decided to investigate. I am so glad I did. I was able to find another bag. While there I found a few gifts for the upcoming holidays along with one kick ass soft sweater *on sale* that I am living in now that it is cooler. The staff here were extremely helpful for finding that sweater.. and did I mention it was on sale? This was a true 5 star shopping experience. When I return to the area in February, I will definitely return!

Well the good news I know my size so this will go quick. As I haven't shopped in awhile and live in the land that Summer is essentially year round I obviously spent a little more time finding what I needed. Found a nice dress for my Mom. Classic lightweight denim with two pockets on the front she will love. Now for me a great white blouse with puffy sleeves I love it as I had seen it in their catalog earlier this year. A classic pair of khaki lightweight pants and a green and white gingham skirt. Also I got a lavender necklace that was drastically reduced. When I got to the register I was sad to see not too much in the way of sales. Also the clerk was not to willing to give up the discount card that you get after you purchase. It needs to get stamped now two more times to get 20 percent off. Geez J Crew what happened to you I gotta really work to get a break here.

I then decided to shop around the store and asked another employee if she could look for a pair of shoes in my size out back and after about 10 minutes I started looking around for her and found that she was talking with friends/off the clock employees. And to top it off the store was messy and dirty. The amount of dust bunnies on the floor was repulsive. Obviously the staff does not care about any type of professional appearance. I love J.

Over the past 2 years or so I've been shopping at Talbots more and more. I thought it was going to…read morebe my "go-to" store. Not that anyone is going to retire from my clothing purchases, but Talbots has received more of my recent spending dollars than any other company. With Talbots, I've shopped online, at outlets, brick and mortar stores, and I'm also in their rewards program. On Wednesday 4/17/2024 I visited the Stratham, NH store to see if I could find a new pair of jeans to jump on the wide-leg trend. After several different styles (Talbots, if you're reading this, please work on your size consistency!), I found a pair I thought I was really happy with and purchased them. The jeans went straight to my closet from the car. On Sunday, 4/21/2024 I decided to wear them to a brunch. I had them on as I was getting ready and started to feel that they were just a bit too big (the pant itself is pretty heavy) and after a 15-20 minutes I decided to wear something else I felt more comfortable in. Sadly for me, I had taken the tags off and tossed them because I really thought they were going to be fun. On Tuesday, 4/23/24 (**six** days later), I brought them back to Talbots really just hoping I could exchange them for a smaller size. The sales associate consulted with the store manager who replied with a hard NO. No exchange, no return, no store credit without the tags. Didn't matter that I had just bought them at that very store just six days previously, she just wouldn't have it. I'm not sure if this is an actual Talbots policy, as this is the first time I've had this situation. It's hard to image that a retail store can't create a tag, but maybe that's true for them? Even still, I was pretty taken aback that Talbots had such a severe return policy, especially for repeat customers. And it's not as if the Talbots name isn't clearly attached to every garment! Those jeans went from Talbots, my home, back to Talbots...that's it. If that truly is your return policy Talbots, you really need to have your sales staff drum that into the heads of every person that buys from you. Needless to say, I will no longer be shopping with Talbots and I'm disappointed by that. Also disappointed that I have a $129.00 pair of jeans that I don't feel comfortable in. If you're a size 6 and want a cute pair of jeans let me know, I'll give you a discount!
