It honestly amazes me that the staff here works on commission (or at least earns a percentage of…read moresales) because they certainly do not act like it. I have shopped at this location multiple times and have spent hundreds of dollars in a single visit thousands over time. Every time I come in, I am polite, patient, and respectful. I smile, say excuse me, and ask for help when needed. Yet on more than one occasion, I've been met with rude behavior or attitudes that make me feel like I'm inconveniencing the staff by simply asking a question. Today was the final straw. I forgot that I had a gift card and had already paid cash. The gift card did not cover the full amount, so I politely asked if the sale could be redone so it could be applied. I was told no. There was no effort to help, no solution offered, no customer-service attempt whatsoever. So I will be returning everything and repurchasing using my gift cards, and I will not be stepping back into this store again. The staff should be ashamed of themselves. The products themselves are great. I genuinely love the clothing and quality. But customer service matters especially when you work on commission. If you are earning from sales, you should be going above and beyond, not acting bothered by the customers who are funding those commissions. Very disappointing.

Out for dinner with my man and see this store front. We hit it up after we ate and boy was I…read moreimpressed! For men, my man especially since he's got a large foot, found so many options and styles of boots, shoes, and socks! The clothing, not so much, he's tall not wide. Women have a sensational selection of clothes but only boots for foot wear. They had sooo many styles and designs of boots it's was impressive. Sales associates were milling about as we looked around and saw one woman was very helpful when looking for a displayed item I was interested in buying. Prices were higher then I would have thought which is where m journey ends. I will have to shop around before going back since I don't know enough about cowboy boots and usually pricing. Super cool store and highly recommend for a stop in and see if not to purchase for yourself or those you love.

So having a branch here in Portland is great--and take note that not only do they have great sales, but there's a seconds/repurposed area toward the back (and sometimes special displays) with items from the brand that are being re/upcycled, all of which cost less than regular price. What's even better is how local the vibe is in the store, and how well connected they are with the wider community of makers. Along with the brand's products the store carries little locally made gifts: everything from jewelry to soap to playing cards and chocolates. There's no set selection, but you'll always find little collections of items for sale around the store. And this weekend Toad & Co. hosted a holiday makers' market in the large back warehouse room, which was awesome! This brought in a bunch of Maine makers selling pottery, coffee, jewelry, leather goods, knitwear, cards, books, candles . . . basically I got most of my Christmas shopping done here! I love that Toad & Co. is sponsoring something like this and really connecting with the community--definitely the kind of business I want to support.

Zane, though definitely a women's boutique, does in fact have a men's section. Granted, everything…read morein the men's section will make you look like Criss Angel, but hats off to them for trying. The place focuses on high end fashion, presented on racks and shelves in a fairly efficient way. I don't like when boutiques go nuts draping their sweaters and pants over pieces of art, or suspending it from the ceiling. It's clothing. It'll speak for itself. Anyway, Zane avoids that troublesome trend and shows off the goods in typically Portland straight-forwardness. Definitely worth a quick stop in if you need a top, jewelry, or want to be a polite boyfriend and stand there holding a purse.

She…read moretravels all around the world, learning about the cultures, customs, and methods and materials of production. The products she brings back with her are high quality, hand selected, and made by artisans who receive a fair price for their goods. She still returns each year to maintain her relationships overseas and to search for new products. The store is currently closed until May, since they are out traveling. The goods in Waterlily are beautiful, high quality, and very reasonably priced. The lines include scarves, handbags, home goods, and other accessories. You're really taken out of Maine once you step off the cobbled street into this peaceful, colorful shop. Make sure to talk to Renee if she's there. She's good for a fascinating conversation or story. Also check out their website - you can buy online or get an idea of what you might see in the shop, as well as read about the artisans, Renee's travels, and see a wholesale catalogue.

The patterns/colors on the clothing, bags, jewelry, and other accessories were breathtaking. Like most other stores in the area, it can be a little pricey, but you're sure to find something that suits you. I got a beautiful fabric journal that I can't wait to use. My only qualm was the strong aroma in the store--it definitely matches the vibe, but it was a bit headache-inducing.

Adele tailored my women's tux for my son's wedding in just a week, well before requested. A skilled seamstress, her specialty is fashion design. The vivid colors she chooses for her designs are a delightful contrast to the white gowns worn by most brides. More women should consider tailoring (as men do) to ensure a custom fit! The alterations were perfect, my suit fit beautifully, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Also impressive, Ms. Ngoy employs recent immigrants in a program that trains immigrant women how to sew and integrate into the community!
