I guess this is good since my wife wasn't being singled out in here, but it's a shame as this store has so much more potential. I realize it's hard to find good help (they didn't strike us as the owners), but it's crazy this terrible service has been going on for so many years without any change. I guess business there is too good for them to care. Their items are moderately priced, more on the expensive side, but not too crazy given it's Los Altos. Selection seemed decent for such a small store, and the items were overall unique which was nice (according to my wife). I feel like there are too many options around here to deal with poor service and attitude. My take would be to move on to another store, but to each their own.

Having been in this boutique a number of times, I thought it was time that I give a…read morereview--especially since no one else has taken the time to do so. Oz Boutique is at the corner of Main and Third in downtown Los Altos. I really prefer shopping in this type of a clothing store over places like Macys or Nordstroms simply because I can find pieces in Oz that I will probably not see on 14 other women I know. Among the many brands the store carries from France and Italy, I the one that is very creative is Aventures des Toiles. I have a few blouses by this designer, and I always receive compliments on them. They are the articles of clothing that I can dress up or down and feel like a million dollars when I wear them. There are several stylish dresses, pants, sweaters, and accessories available at Oz. The only reason that I did not rate the boutique 5 stars is that there always seems to be a lack of sizes larger than 8-10. I am a 12, so hopefully either the buyer will order more 12's or I will time it better to visit the store. I am fan of Oz in any event!

Anyway, as soon as I walked in I was greeted by an extremely courteous and knowledgable employee. The best part was that she was less sales woman, and more my personal buyer/fashion expert! All I had to do was give her some info (I.e. Measurements, favorite designers, and a picture) and she was able to pick out clothes as though my gf was there with me! When I got home and surprised her, I could tell that her "thank you's" and overall excitement was 100% genuine. Especially when she questioned me 3 times on how I knew exactly what to get and wondered if I had taken a female friend to help! Haha Bottom line: this is THE boutique to visit if you're in town and want some high-end European fashion!! :)

I call Chico's the shop for Happy Clothes--comfy and lots of colors! I have purchased some really nice pieces there--sweaters, a favorite jacket, some easy fitting skirts and a few slacks. I go there mostly for the accessories. I have had a lot of luck finding just the right belt, bangle, scarf or piece of jewellery for specific outfits. The accessories are what keep me going back! read more

I intend to return everything, as I have no desire to put plastic directly against my skin. The cashier seemed pleasant enough to me. I simply wanted to make my purchases quickly and without any hassle, but the local staff seems intent only on ignoring customers.

I was approached by a very friendly employee who asked if I needed any help. While I saw items I was interested in knowing more about, I was on a time limit and knew I wouldn't have time to even try anything on. I really wanted to do a quick walk around of the store to see what merchandise they had and to take a mental note. They had a live embroiderer near the dressing rooms who was embroidering things for clients. They also had little mini chocolate croissants with cute branded Sezane napkins near the shoe area. I think I was approached by two employees who were nice and personable. While I did not get greeted by others when I was in their area of the store. This is just a pop-up shop still -- its not a permanent location. There is one in SF apparently. I've been to the one in NYC and the pop-up shop in LA in the past. Sezane is on the higher price point, but I do still love the brand and would love to see more boutiques to visit for an in person shopping experience. I do believe that if you invest in pieces from this brand, they will be timeless, as I still would wear the items I purchased many years ago today.

I'll preface by saying the clothes are beautiful and feel high quality, and I walked out with two…read morepieces recently that I love. I know this is the Bay Area, but I'm not about to drop $100+ per piece at a DTC brand without seeing it in person first. (My mom dressed me in clearance JCPenney and hand-me-downs as a kid.) I've been inside this specific store twice and the one in SF once. The day I made my purchase was a weekend, whereas my other two visits were on weekdays. On weekdays, the store is pretty much empty. I think for shopping in store at Sezane, that is the preference. My biggest peeve with both the SF and SJ stores (and I assume this is a feature of all their stores) is the cubby wall. They could have put multiple racks in that space, but instead they have a massive wall of cubbies with a different style in each cubby. They're all folded, and I was told you need to point out an item and have the employee take it out to show it to you. The same employee then has to find your size and refold and put back what was taken out. This is literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a clothing store. What if I want to see every single piece? How do I even know what the fabric feels like, or if it's sleeveless, or if it's a sweater? You don't, unless you've memorized the Sezane online catalog and know exactly what you're looking for. I could just feel the employee's annoyance every time I asked to see a new style. I would have LOVED to browse more, but the store was very busy, and I didn't want to be a burden. On the weekend day I finally bought something, there was one cashier and there was a line rapidly building behind me as there was a customer who had some sort of involved issue. There was no backup cashier called (not sure they have that capability), and we all just had to wait. I also really wanted to see some dresses in person, but they barely had any - maybe 3 or 4 styles whereas they have a lot online! The clothes are beautiful and maybe if you are shopping 1:1 with an employee on a less busy day, it could even be fun!

This was J Foss, a wonderful store full of high quality, beautiful clothing with glorious style. Most importantly, the lady at the shop was extremely pleasant and helpful. She did what great small shop owners should do -- look you over, get excited that you're in their store, compliment your style and start bring you the new and interesting things that they "just got in". Her suggestions led me to purchase more than I would have without her help. The whole experience was very smooth and pleasant, and I will be going back there when I'm next in town.
