Every item inside has been created by either survivors or those vulnerable to exploitation. Therefore, every purchase from this store creates futures for victims of human trafficking. The product quality is superb as well. I have multiple t-shirts that have all been washed and dried and still look (and feel) great! I've purchased bracelets as gifts and the recipients have loved them! There's something for everyone here.

IMHO Surf Factory is…read moredeep inside the Shoppes at Harbor Village, a spacious glass-covered mall. It is one of the few businesses inside this pretty mall, and thankfully it merchandises a few racks of sales clothing outside its doors to lure you in! This is a large store chock full of souvenir gifts, clothing, Olukai sandals, hats, toys, insulated water bottles, backpacks, etc. Everything is neat and organized, which makes for easy shopping. I found a pretty Half Moon Bay tee shirt. I thought it was a little pricey for a thin tee shirt ($31.95), but I liked it enough to treat myself. Customer service was friendly and helpful. Will I return? Sure, if I'm ever back in the area.

There's a lot, and I mean A LOT of stuff on sale.

The have things ranging from various used items like kitchen wares (some of which I personally think shouldn't be there as they were scratch up nonstick pans) to antiques (furnitures, household items, old irons and sewing machines) and jewelry to fossils. There are definitely many good bargains if you know what to look for.

Marina at Le Caprice is a lifesaver!…read more I ordered a Vivienne Westwood gown from a very popular bridal shop. When I tried it on during pickup, I knew something was off. It took 3 stylists just to hook the dress together before it could be zipped up. I had not gained any weight since ordering, and the dress felt like it had been ordered a size too small. The stylist who was helping me put on the dress kept reassuring me that the gown had a hard corset, and because it was strapless, it was meant to fit that tightly. Well before my actual wedding, I had my courthouse ceremony... I needed a lot of help to get the dress hooked on, and when it came time to drive to the courthouse, I couldn't even sit up. I had to lean the car seat all the way back in order to make it to the courthouse. The entire afternoon I was so uncomfortable that I didn't even want to drink water. After that experience, I brought my dress to Marina at Le Caprice. She took one look at my back and didn't even bother zipping me up. She assured me that my dress was too small, that it was not just in my head, and offered to remove the zipper and replace it with a corset back! I was nervous because I really loved the top part of my dress and how snatched it made my waist look, but when I received my dress it still looked just as perfect! Not only that, but I was completely comfortable in it when I was sitting and eating at my reception (: Marina was able to complete the alterations super fast at a fair price and I think the corset was elegantly executed. I highly recommend coming to Le Caprice!
