They even fed me some great French pastry on one occasion. I have seen many people come and go and I was in the store when two ladies took extra brochures because they needed something to write on. The owner was very nice about it but said please take one and write on that if you need to but printing colored brochures is very expensive and if it's scratch paper you are looking for I have a paper bag you can write on. The lady said something I couldn't quite hear but left quite abruptly. I didn't think the owner was being rude. Some folks are just hard to please I guess. Anyway, I've bought some of their shoes and cushions. The items they sell are not inexpensive but it's like Mom used to say, "you get what you pay for". Long story short some of these items are years old now and have been left out in the weather (sun and rain) and they haven't faded or fallen apart. I can't say the same for the Chinese items I've purchased at Wal-Mart. I always try to support our local businesses first and use Wal-Mart as a last resort. Anyway I love this unique one-of-a-kind business. They have things that you won't find anywhere else.

I just had the nastiest customer service experience with this store I think I've ever had…read more I saw online that they sell Fermob bistro tables and chairs which a client of mine is looking for. I was reviewing the online listing, trying to gather pertinent info to share with the client - ie cost, colors, availability, shipping time in transit so they could make an informed decision. The shipping time wasn't listed online but I saw they had a customer service chat function. I sent my question on shipping time and waited a minute for someone to connect. They sent "?????" and "are you there?" right when they connected. Weird. I wrote back hello and they said they needed to know what color to answer. I shared the potential color. They said it was in stock, goes out within week of the order, and ships fedex. I asked how long it would be expected to take in transit. (This was my question initially). They said they don't make any promises. I said is there an estimation... 2 weeks, 5 months, roughly what should we plan for? They then wrote "why would you say that when I just said one week?" But as you recall, I was told after ordering, they ship out within one week. They never said the timing in transit. Then they disconnected. I was dumbfounded! Needless to say I absolutely will not recommend my client orders from Bon Marche. Hope this customer service person has the day they deserve.

Working with Sven at Santa Fe Kitchen Design was an incredible experience. We hired him to help…read morewith our kitchen remodel, and he went above and beyond at every step. Beyond his brilliant eye for design and great ideas for materials, Sven was an invaluable partner in managing the renovation itself. Our project turned into a bit of an archeological adventure--we discovered so much hiding under the walls of our old adobe kitchen--but Sven served as a constant guide. Whether it was navigating floor or countertop choices or troubleshooting design issues as they popped up during the work, he was always there to help coordinate with our contractors. In fact, he was so skilled and helpful that even our own contractors were impressed; they actually added him to their roster of design consultants. We couldn't be happier with our new space and highly recommend Sven to anyone looking for a thoughtful, capable, and dedicated design expert.

I was rescued just in the knick of time. Sven provided me a professional, honest assessment and proceeded to lay out a very concise, organized process to follow. My anxiety was cut in half after speaking with him. He guided me to the best resources for my budget and tastes. He is a class act and I am delighted with this new and improved kitchen.

Their strength seems to be kitchen-related knives, but I did find some interesting folders by a number of the usual brands (including Santa Fe Stoneworks).

It's a local business owner who works the counter, knows his stuff, and has educated me on everything from Japanese steel, Bucks, Benchmade, and more. I suspect anyone with a less favorable experiences likely lacks the ability to understand we all approach things differently and if you ask for an opinion on something, you may just get it. Great store, highly recommend, I've spent at least $5,000 here on many knives.

I came across SFSW, their work was just what I was looking for. Bonus they're about an hour away. The GPS brought us to a 110 year old adobe ranch style house, the last one in that part of Santa Fe. After winding around the interior we found the display area. Not only did I find handgrips but a myriad of knives, cutlery & forks and more in a small sales area. The craftsmen were plying their trade on the other side of an open wall. For those who want instant gratification they have a lot to choose from. I had a specific goal in mind. As difficult as it was I stayed away from the other temptations. I found a beautiful set of wooly mammoth tusk grips(10-15000yrs old). I had an idea of the 2nd pair - blue mammoth tooth, turquoise, meteorite, one made up of mineral deposits, or a combination. Well, until I went into a back room and was shown a mammoth tooth in red/pink. Red/pink it is. It'll be 4-6 weeks until they're ready. You can't rush good craftsmanship. Regardless of what you select, price is commensurate with the level of craftsmanship. Unique, exotic or unusual in knives, cutlery, jewelry or handgrips it's probably here.
