My husband and I walked in as the "warehouse sale" caught our attention. Not a single sales person greeted us or went over the sales special with us. Another couple walked in shortly after and they made sure to have greeted that couple. This is not the first time I've experienced this at this store. We were just coming from church so we were nicely dressed! When we left no one said anything to us either. It seems like a theme with this store, the sales people are not at all inviting. We cut our time short and left. Please train your sales people to greet ALL customers, no matter what they look like or are wearing. read more

My review is based on service alone. I will never again shop in a store where the salesperson looks my daughter and I up and down with an expression on her face as if we weren't good enough to enter the store. Yes we were dressed very casually - but if she only knew how much I would've spent if she had greeted us warmly. Boooo these are the stereotypes that Birmingham is trying to live down. It felt like the scene in Pretty Woman! read more

Lenny Molly and team always go above and beyond. Great selections seasonally. They get me and always help Me find what I am looking for. Personal relatable and always deliver. Sizes special orders .... I wish more retail stores had this personal touch. Caruso has been with me over the decades and so have many of the purchased items. read more

This is my go to for my nicer or more higher end jeans. I have but several pairs of my 7 jeans, Mavi or my Paige jeans here. They have really good quality jeans. High end and some more reasonably priced jeans too. The staff is patient with you and let you try on as many pairs of jeans and takes the time to make sure you're satisfied with your purchase. I have jeans for pretty much everybody, teens and adults of all ages. This is one of the original stores that's focused on jeans. If you're in need of jeans, this is a place to go to. You won't leave this store empty-handed. read more

Time for a generalization. Here it is: most women love to shop, except for jeans and swimsuits. It isn't untrue. There just seems to be such a "cycle of disappointment" that you experience every time you try. Well, Caruso Caruso is the reason that you need to keep trying... for jeans, at least. They have lightning fast service that is also good, which allows you to quickly find a pair of jeans you will love. This seems impossible, but isn't here. I promise. I came in with several people after a large brunch, exactly when you should not be trying on clothes, and was greeted in the first five seconds. The sales person asked me a series of specific, but not jarring questions that seemed to sort the inventory for her and off she went. When she came back with four pairs, she explained why she has selected those pairs and left me alone. Each pair was better than the next. When I came out of the dressing room, she explained a little about the stretch and wear I should expect. Within ten minutes, I had a pair of jeans that I love even weeks later. I wish that all shopping experiences were this productive because I love being out of the "cycle of disappointment" every time I put on those jeans. read more

I grew up a huge CC fan... the store was tiny when I was a teenager and it's grown so much over the years! They've always carried really cute designer denim, accessories, etc... and always had a fantastic selection for both men and women. Going into their new location last weekend when I was home brought back a ton of memories. The girls that work there were probably not even born when I started shopping at CC with my friends so many years ago. But one thing has stayed the same - CC carries cute clothing! Great selection of retro t-shirts in addition to all kinds of tops, dresses, jeans, etc... I purchased Jared a 'Say Yes To Michigan' retro t-shirt and I purchased myself a 'Made In Detroit' retro t-shirt as well during my last visit. If you're a shopper, make sure to hit up CC next time you're in Birmingham! read more

Caruso Caruso is the premier denim boutique in Michigan. They have selections that you just can't find at the mall, and a much wider selection than all of their competitors. Their store used to be in 3 separate locations (Frankie & Debbie's, Its the Ritz, and Caruso Caruso) for decades, but a few years ago these were all combined/consolidated into one location. The result is a family-owned, "mini" department store with fashionable clothing for men and women of all ages. Yes, if you go to the mall you can find a small percentage of the lines that Caruso Caruso carries, but you will have to go to at least 5-10 different stores, deal with less-than-desirable salespeople, relatively poor customer service, and the prices won't be any better. From my experience, the sales staff is helpful, yet not pushy. Their policies are very reasonable, and if you sign up for their e-mail list you get to take advantage of promotions that they do not advertise, which can be quite a savings. The best thing to buy here is denim. Blue jeans. But, having said that, they also have a host of other products (shirts, tops, jackets, sunglasses, etc). Check it out - I highly recommend it! read more

See all

The denim here really is the best in the metro Detroit- even the ENTIRE state. I agree with the other reviewers, if you want help, you need to ask. When you do ask (c'mon, muster up the courage) they are extremely knowledgeable and listen to what you're asking for. Lennon, a co-owner with his father Frank, is a denim guru. I told him what I liked about certain pairs and disliked about others and he found some (or try four) pairs that I wear nearly every day. I do miss some of the eclectic stuff that It's the Ritz (another store of theirs that is now closed) carried, but they still do a great job of offering items that not everyone else and their brother does. Oh, and you can't return anything here... just store credit.. so that docks a star from their rating... read more

Caruso Caruso - Women's Clothing Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

Personally I find the attitude of the people working there to make this place incredibly unwelcoming and unappealing. I cannot recall how many times I've walked in there and no one offered to help. The girls just stand around and talk/stare. The clothing here is just average-- you're better off just going to Nordstrom. Same clothing, better environment, and way less attitude. I gave them an extra star for their jean collection because that's the only reason I return. read more

I was really excited to come here when I read the reviews, but kind of disappointed. Jean selection is great and actually decent prices. The guys side had some awesome designer jeans on sale for $90! The t-shirts are soft cotton and retro, something you might find in Urban Outfitters, but more original. Service (I thought) was lame. The girls working there look about 14, super skinny, and sipping their starbucks looking very COOL. Not exactly jumping up to help anyone. Unless you are a regular, in which case they will drool over you. If you have some time to kill, I would definitely stop in but be ready to do your own searching throughout the store. read more

I love coming here when they have their sales, the staff is friendly and very helpful. Always helps me exchange sizes etc. One of my go to stores in Birmingham that I shop at. Yes they have a great selection of jeans but don't over look their other items too. They also have a great selection of tops and accessories as well. read more

Finding the right pair of jeans is on par with finding the perfect guy. You know...you have to find the one that looks the best, feels the best and, of course, compliments your ass the best. When you have the right guy and right jeans, all is good in the world. Sadly, I personally always have problems finding the right pair of jeans. Now, I've tried all the stores in the mall. Levi's and I split up because they discontinued my favorite cut. Lucky Brand and I are on a break. I have even tried Target, but with little success. I reluctantly decided to try Caruso Caruso. I knew their selection is amazing, but the prices tend to be prohibitive. But thankfully, they have some hella amazing sales. Be warned though, the styles here are more for your teenaged and college aged cousin than for the late 20s, early 30s girls that still want amazing jeans that make your ass look good. I did have to some searching to find a pair that looked good and didn't make me look like I was having a high school fashion flashback. I think I totally lucked out. Both my husband and I got a pair of jeans and I picked out some Toms shoes for less than $150 during their sale....not too shabby! As for the staff, I know there are some mixed reviews. It was only most recent visit did I feel like a valued customer. The girl that helped me out was kind and patient and pretty knowledgeable. However, that was the only time I have run into service like that here. Prior to this, I would run into no service whatsoever...it seems like the girls won't really help or acknowledge you until you look like you are serious about shopping. So there we go. Lesson learned. Forget the mall and Macy's. Come here for the jeans, especially when you are serious about finding the right pair. read more

There is a pair of jeans out there for everyone, and most likely, they are all at caruso caruso. My jeans shopping experience usually goes like this: 1. enter store 2. try on jeans 3. jeans don't fit 4. leave jeans in a ball on fitting room floor 5. hit up food court But not at caruso caruso, my friends. The people there really know their sh*t. They seem to eat, sleep, and breathe denim. They can be trusted to give an objective opinion, and they won't let you walk outta there in jeans that make your butt look anything less than fabulous. read more

NOTE: This place is ultra premium denim ($200/pair of jeans)... if this isn't your price point, this isn't your store. Working at a jeans / tshirt startup, my jeans are like your boss suit. (it's a foreign concept to a lot of people in Detroit) Big fan of Caruso Caruso. It's a 5 star denim store. Pricing is full MSRP, same pricing you'll find at the mall. They regularly run sales, just get on their email list. They also have a yearly trade in program. The owners really care about their business and there is a personal touch there. It's my first stop, and typically my only stop for jeans in metro Detroit (for guys anyways) I would recommend going in during the day on a weekday when they aren't as busy. The service from Jen, Lennon, and other people there is great. read more

Absolutely recommend Caruso Caruso to anyone searching for the latest trends. The selection is vast and varied, and unique brands and cool accessories. Not to mention, the excellent customer service keeps you coming back time and time again! read more

One of the few stores I shop at in Birmingham proper. Love this place for casual to semi-dress duds. Their denim offerings are good, they also have pretty good sales, so it's good to go then and stock up on your denim. They cover everything from head to toe including accessories. It's a trendy spot in a trendy town, and they cover their niche well. read more

On a vacation to visit some relatives in MI, we went to dinner in the Birmingham area. After, we wandered into this store. I love MI. I love the food, the friendly people, the weather is great. However, this store is a typical overpriced, snobby, "We think we are better than you" venue. I am no stranger to any of the brands, and admit to paying $$$$ for jeans, but what made this store so unpleasant was the atmosphere/sales staff. Rude, inattentive staff. Given the area and the prices, I expect more. Staff is non- responsive, chatting and laughing with each other, completely unhelpful. My friend was offered something to drink, she declined and was offered it again 3x. We would have preferred help in finding sizes, not cheap wine. I went to pay for my items and the salesgirl did not even look at me. She rang me up, did NOT TELL ME THE TOTAL, just asked for payment, and proceeded to talk with another girl. IF I am going to spend over $350+ I expect a smile, hello or otherwise. I walked away- I decided my money could be spent elsewhere. My friend noticed the salesgirl did not even stop talking to her friend as she deleted my total. CC, if you are going to overcharge on premium denim, make sure your staff is up to speed. PS- cheap wine does not make a venue classy. read more

For Christmas this year, i was given a gift card to Caruso Caruso. "Buy anything you like," said my enthusiastic gift giver, "Just make sure it's some kind of article of clothing for your legs. You know... something nice" *Fair enough*, i thought. Eventually, with some gentle prodding, i visited CC a few weeks ago. I could (i hoped) get past the mannequins clad in spring fashion as long as i beelined straight to the men's department. Never fear! No sooner had i looked at a pair of jeans when all of the sudden a friendly member of the staff (Hunter) approached with no less than 5 different styles to try on. Wait, uhh... there are *styles*? He politely showed me into the dressing room and stood waiting outside. Each time i would step out, Hunter would ask me to do a full turn. Looking me over, we worked our way through the small stack of jeans until he finally gave me the thumbs up on the last pair. This particular pair (a brand of dark-wash Hudsons) fit like a glove and slipped on like butter. This level of personal service is part of the Caruso Caruso experience. The staff gives you an honest and fair assessment of what you should buy and then goes a step further by measuring your tastes against their own so you can leave knowing what you purchased is going to look great no matter what. I sincerely appreciated that. No really, it was awesome. Not only did Hunter help coax me into a denim-induced state of nirvana, but i left the store confident that i had just been handed the nicest pair of jeans I've ever owned. Which (to me) is saying something. Can i paint a picture for you? Imagine an almost 26 year old man. Now imagine this guy is an unwitting poster child for Target. He wears homogeneous outfits with colors that never make sense. His only jeans are an uncomfortable upcycled set of Levis or things his brother once found at a Salvation Army. He passes through his early twenties thinking, "Well this must be what comfort feels like. Jeans are just scratchy and threadbare and that's it, isn't' it?" WRONG. Comfort exists! And help lies just a few miles away at a small family operated clothing store called Caruso Caruso. So nice, you say it twice! Now get in your car and drive! read more

I think their selection of jeans warrants the description "ginormous". As much as I love vintage racks and thrift prices, there comes a time in a girl's life when she needs to buy a pair of jeans brand new -- and the only flattering fit might cost some benjamins. Caruso Caruso is the one stop jean haven. The service is there if you ask for it, but if you don't then go ahead and browse by yourself because you'll have tons of ground to cover. True Religion, Seven, AG, R&R, stuff for kids, men, a few unique vintage pieces, even -- it's really easy to find something that you'll look good in here, which makes this place dangerous. read more

This store is lovely! I am definitely a girl who loves a great deal and recently noticed they were having a sale for students and I couldn't resist! They have the cutest selection of Detroit apparel and accessories. I was able to snag some unique pieces and some super cute shades. I loved everything except they high price points on some of the items. After the sale is over I can't really bring my self to spend that much on some of the items. However, if you're in the area it's certainly worth checking out! read more

Love love love their clothing! After many years of being out of state I was so excited to shop there again. However, I was greeted by a woman who told me I was looking at the wrong size jeans and then pointed to my stomach as if I was too fat. Then she proceeded to follow me around like I was going to steal something. It was terrible and such a shame because I loved that store. read more

I agree with that it is the only place to find good jeans. The only place you can find LA denim atelier jeans in MI. I try to find jeans other places but the fit and look is never right. My only complaint is that it is a bit too pricey. But I guess they know they are in Bham and can charge the prices. But $80 for a tshirt is a bit much. read more

Caruso is the best place in the Detroit area for trendy clothes and designer jeans. I think they have the best and most reasonable prices as far as small boutiques go. Plus the girls who work there are super friendly and helpful. I really like that they are dog friendly too! I always bring my dog just because I know they will always let me. If you are around Birmingham and haven't been to Caruso yet, you are doing yourself a disservice by going to the mall...forget the ridiculous crowds and annoying parking garages and just get everything from Caruso. read more

We all love you, Caruso Caruso. Lauren Moshi, Michael Stars, Rebel Yell, Wildfox and more. This is a GRAET place for tees, tanks, cute tops, summer dresses, and of course, JEANS! All premium denim can be found here, there is a massive jeans wall. This store has been a fav for years. I stop in regularly, and will continue to do so. The decor is modern and friendly, thanks to a recent rennovation and combining of the two stores Caruso and Frankie and Debbies. (This is not really recent lol). VERY friendly and informed staff, they are more than happy to help you throughout your visit. Stop in if you haven't, you will not be disappointed. read more

LOVE this store. if you're into finding unique items, this is the place to be in the birmingham area. they have an awesome collection of jeans (from true religion to hudsons) and i love their autumn and winter coats. i think all of my autumn and winter jackets are from caruso, and i always get complimented on them! i was just in there a week ago with my boyfriend (who is a super picky shopper), and he bought a ton of stuff. he approved (which is huge!!) the only downside: on a rare occasion, you'll find that the girls that work there are not that nice...but normally you'll go in and they are eager to help you! read more

Thanks so very much Barbara for your customer service! Your help and attention made my first visit very pleasant. What a fabulous place to run in and grab anything from the latest jeans, cool outfit to a cozy Henley. Frank, thanks... I'm so glad I finally came over to shop. It won't be my last time. Thanks again!!! Lisa conroy read more

Best customer service ever! Super helpful staff. Always pleasant and friendly. The store is very clean and shelves are organized. shout out to Leonard for helping me out with an exchange today! Thanks for caring about your customers. Will definitely be back and recommend Caruso Caruso to friends and family! read more

Hosted a great client event at CC. The staff were fantastic and can fit you into a pair of premium denim like nowhere else!! For personal shopping sprees or client events. CC is perfect! read more

I just visited Caruso Caruso for the first time and I was extremely pleased with my experience. For starters, I have never seen a better selection of jeans and the vintage clothing they also offer is phenomenal. Before I arrived I figured that the store catered more toward woman than men, however after visiting I have to say that the men's clothing selection was just as good. I was also very pleased with the friendly help of the staff. I told the person who was helping me exactly what kind of jean I was looking for and before I knew it I had 7 pairs of jeans in my arms to try on. The personal attention that I received truly made the experience unforgettable. I will absolutely go back to CC for all of my future jean needs ... not to mention the next time I'm looking for a vintage t-shirt or hoody. If there's anything that I'm bummed about, it's the fact that I grew up in the area and it took me this long to finally visit the store. You have to check this place out! read more

Whenever I come in to town from New York City I always stop in Caruso Caruso. Its one the the best clothing boutiques around. Being from New York one would think that clothing boutiques are all over and should have a wonderful selection but that is just not the case. This is why Caruso Caruso is the best clothing boutique I have ever been too. The prices are always amazing, the staff is as friendly as can be and are very knowledgeable about their products. read more

The only place to buy jeans in Michigan. Huge selection of styles, brands, and prices. They carry Paper Denim, Mavi, J brand, Paige, and Rock and Republic to name a few. The staff is helpful. Just ask. read more

I was directed to the store by a representative of Nudie jeans because I needed to make an exchange. The staff was very helpful and accommodating at making the exchange. Lennon was as close to a denim-head as I've seen in Michigan. He knew how every piece of denim fit was able to make recommendations based on the fit that I was looking for. Their denim selection was top notch as far as designer jeans go. The icing on the cake (i.e. what makes this place 5 stars) was when Lennon stayed after the store closed and allowed me to pickup the items that I put on hold. read more

I love this store! They have all the best contemporary affordable designers all in one shop. They have a large size range, sometimes it's hard for me to find jeans that fit (size 23) but they carry a lot of variety to fit every size. Last time I came here there was a big sale and I raked in six pieces for $300, very nice things. Pretty sure half my wardrobe is from here. read more

My all time favorite store. I no longer travel to Michigan and I even considered flying there just to shop here. I am in absolute awe of how helpful and kind the staff, specifically Kelly is. I called to ask if they could ship some items and she even offered to take pictures and send them to me (since there is no online shopping for this store). Thank you so much Kelly and Caruso Caruso for an amazing shopping experience again. Wish you had a location down here in south Florida! read more

Very cool store with a great vibe, stylish / good quality clothing and without a doubt, exceptional customer service. So, here's my experience. Had an incident with an online order that went unfulfilled due to an inventory error, which was disappointing but not a big deal, I could get past it. So, I was given a "golden ticket" for 20% off a future purchase, which was meant to compensate for their error which I appreciated. However, and here's where they go above and beyond...a few days later I received a call from the store owner ( Lennon ) who was extremely thoughtful and sincere in his explanation of the problem and wanted to personally offer his apologies for any "inconvenience" - and promised he would make it right, providing a positive Caruso Caruso customer experience typical to their brand. WOW!! Such a cool guy who made me feel important and valued. Further, he DID came through only a few days later and fulfilled my order, true to his word. That's how you enhance your brand in this insanely competitive retail space. My wife and daughter have been frequent Caruso Caruso customers due to quality and service, and now through my experience with the store and the integrity of its owner and his concern for customers, I will certainly become a regular customer. Thanks for caring Lennon! Rick N read more

Really great selection of denim. Came here looking for Naked and Famous, and got exactly what I was looking for. Huge range of brands from J-brand to PRPS and even some local denim. Also surprised by their graphics. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful. I'll be coming back next time I need some selvedge. read more

Jeans on jeans on jeans! I couldn't believe how many there were to choose from. This was my first time at Caruso. My sister in law dragged me shopping and at first I thought I would hate this place. But I was actually finding lots of things that I liked. I would say if you are looking for jeans, this is the place. They do have other items that are worth the money, but it can get overwhelming. I will more than likely go here next time before shopping anywhere else if I need the perfect pair of jeans that not everyone else has. read more

LOVE that Caruso carries all different styles of "Flying Monkey" jeans. They're at a reasonable price point and are the perfect brand for us shorter girls. read more

Let me start by saying they had a great selection of clothing at various price points. I was impressed by that, but was disappointed with this store in regards to the employee who insulted me, when I quickly found myself in my very own "Pretty Woman" moment. I tried on a pair of jeans which were over $150, not the most expensive jeans, but not the cheapest either. I didn't like the fit, and when the salesgirl asked me about them, I just said I wasn't sure. She immediately said "we have jeans at a lower price point," which is completely besides the point. I'm not sure if it was the fact that I was in street clothes (read: leggings, slip on sneakers, a sweatshirt and a backpack) or that she was just rude and judging my funds, but I was completely offended. Store is fine, I would never go back because of how I was treated. read more

Love this place! I went over my lunch hour and was in and out in 30 minutes. You are greeted when you walk in the door. I told them what I was looking for and the girl who helped me pulled a couple pair of jeans for me to try on. Based on how they look and the feedback I gave, she pulled a couple more pairs and I found 2 perfect pairs of jeans for me. Yes they are more expensive than what you may buy other places BUT 100% worth it! I won't go anywhere else for jeans. I have a flat rear and they jeans make me look and feel incredible. They also last forever. read more
