The staff is always very friendly when I've stopped in, and the store always looks great! If you are in need of a new outfit or would rather try something before buying (instead of the guess and check with online shopping) then you should absolutely stop by DFTI. The selection of clothes is very trendy, and affordable. There's always a good selection of sizes too! Everything here is under $100 and they are pet friendly, so if you're strolling by with your pup (like I have done many times before) you can still stop in! Supporting a local boutique such as DFTI for the upcoming holiday season will ensure your gifts aren't late!!!

From the moment I walked in I personally was a little overwhelmed. The name Nordstrom leads me to expect a certain vibe, this did not hit that. The shoe area is a good size, but tiny aisles. It was pretty organized. There is some areas to sit, but not enough. There were people sitting on the floor. There were many racks throughout. There is lots of departments like kids, mens, womens, shoes, bags, suitcases and much more. There is a lot to sift through. The pricing was in my opinion a little high. I can find items one sale, cheaper especially with a coupon. I am sure I made a face at some of the pricing like, "Um really. You want that much for that?" The staff were ok. I had one who tried to help, but he was new so he was unsure on the answer. I ended up not staying too long. I was just there for shoes, and walked out empty handed.

What a beautiful store…read more The brick and mortar is stunning. There is a large staircase inside, beautiful molding, stone, wood and so much more? On the lower level is the wedding area. I never went down there but, from the windows everything looked beautiful. So many dresses. There is a pretty good clearance section upstairs. The store does have a staircase and elevators. There is a section upstairs for employees... lets call is the employee lounge/workroom. Anthro products are stunning. I love their dresses and cardigans. I love that they have a plus size selection. Their aesthetic really delivers. They have items for the home, accessories, jewelry, clothing, shoes, candles, housewares and much more. I had encountered a few staff members and they were great, even in passing when we were in the elevator. Now Anthro can be pricey, but I can see why. There are times I cringe at a price for a dress of a candle. But, I just tell myself it is not meant to be.

If you are an architectural buff I would stop in just to look at the building and rooms. Though for me it was some retail therapy and appreciating the old architecture of days gone by.

This place is not closed…read more Kiki must have a personality disorder. I have shopped there several times and she acts as if she does not want you there. You are not allowed to touch clothes and if you do not like the things she has pulled for you, she seems upset. She also will dump her personal drama on you. While some of the clothing is unique, there are no tags on anything including prices. Sort of shady, and to be honest, I wonder if some of the stuff is used. She also is rarely there when the hours of the store say she will be. I once found the assistant asleep in the corner on the floor. Kiki was totally unaware she was there. If you are feeling like you have thick skin and want to fight the person you are buying from, it's worth going in there a few times. If you want to feel good about spending hundreds/thousands, you'll go elsewhere.

This store is beautiful. Not only are there many seemingly one of a kind pieces in the store (as…read moreshe only stocks a few of each thing), but Kiki also designed the store itself - including an incredibly beautiful use of a real tree. It's worth going in for that itself. You can tell she puts a lot of thought into every piece that goes in the store, whether its wallpaper for the walls, a curtain for the dressing rooms, or a piece of clothing or jewelry that she is selling. She also really takes the time to help you find the things that work for you, your body, and your style. Though I do feel it necessary to note that this is definitely not a cheap store, it is definitely a beautiful boutique that you should absolutely get to know and love.

TLDR: Fantastic help from Lindsay, but disappointed with the rest of the sales associates…read more I visited recently to purchase a coat and was surprised how difficult it was to get assistance. Several associates passed by without acknowledging me or offering help. Thankfully, Lindsay stepped in and turned the experience around. She was personable, attentive, and genuinely helpful.

Her patience and professionalism are exactly what you hope for when visiting a store like this. She's the reason I stayed, and the reason I'll consider coming back.

I had not passed by since before the pandemic so it's definitely been a while for me, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the array of upscale offerings here in Center City. It was mostly accessories that would appeal to me, since unlike Saks Fifth Avenue, they do not have a plus size section aka anything north of a size 10 in clothing. But their handbags and their shoes were as beautiful as they come. If you're looking for anything from Victoria Beckham, I think this might be the one place in Philadelphia to find her dresses. But the store gets props for featuring a handmade cashmere and mohair sweater line that was simply dazzling! I was inspired enough that I will return!

I will say that customer service in the NYC SoHo location comes with a bit of attitude but the salesgirls here are always super friendly and very helpful. Even the security guard smiles and takes the time to open the door to greet you. Depending on the time of day, a line can form to get in.

There are also a handful of pre-loved luxury bags for sale at a discounted price. My experience at the store was pleasant. Both the store's owner, Vera, and the employee there were very friendly.

The store is chock full of STUFF for children and women in junior through plus sizes; then there's the jewelry, shoes, bags, and other accessories. The selection is rather overwhelming. This is a place where I'd have to come in knowing what I'm looking for in advance. I think Rainbow markets itself toward young women & teenagers. Interestingly, this store is very narrow & very deep. It felt like I walked a city block to reach the back of the store. Prices are cheap cheap cheap; the entire back of the store is $3 to $5 & I would wager that nothing in here is over $25. However, the merchandise is pretty uninspiring. It basically runs from basic to trendy. Nothing formal or suitable for the office. The shoes & handbags are pretty tacky, and the quality of clothing construction runs from subpar to average. I had to leave because the hip-hop/pop mix was making me a little insane. Other than that, it was very calm. If you know you want a certain type of tank top or something, Rainbow's a good pocket-friendly bet. Otherwise, nothing special.
