I was really excited to come here from the reviews but I was not super impressed. Pros: beautiful…read moreclothing, truly a great selection, well organized, tidy, easy parking. Cons: some things were priced appropriately, I got a Brandy Melville cardigan for $24. But some things were definitely overpriced - I'd say a lot of things. Maybe half the things. Ex: a forever 21 slip dress for $22. Probably cost that much (or less) brand new. I found the staff person to be very cool in temperature. Not icy cold, but far from warm or personable, and I did not feel super comfortable because of that. She was a bit cold toward both myself and another costumer. Just not inviting at all, and I'm not itching to go back. But would I stop in if I were in the area? Sure. Would I drive 20 minutes again? Prob not.

I have never consigned anything before, so maybe how Shimmer operates is SOP for consignment…read morestores. I brought several high-end purses to consign last Fall. My appointment was on a day that the store was closed. My purses were taken at the door - I was not invited in to discuss which purses were wanted or the selling prices. I was not given an opportunity to withdraw the purses if I felt the selling prices were too low. I was never given an inventory of what they kept or the prices. Security isn't great - when I went to pickup the 3 purses that went unsold, only 2 were located - the third was apparently shoplifted. The owner was unsympathetic and unconcerned.

Their home goods and beauty sections are high quality and one-of-a-kind. They also feature crystals, jewelry and clothing. I didn't get a chance to check out prices.

Definitely need to stop back and spend more time (it was getting near closing time and I had a few other stops in town.)

Loved the store, great novelty shirts, fun ideas. Went to the Fairfax store a couple times and…read morethought it was a small business with some local artists selling their products. We bought a gift for a friend, it didn't fit and we wanted to see if we could quickly exchange for a larger size. That's when the bizarre month long process began. Nobody answers the phone and the emails kept promising help and then nothing for two weeks. We even said hey we'll keep the shirt can we just buy the larger one as it was now on sale. Days would go by and excuses given and we were told we COULD. Exchange the shirt and they would send us a label... now more days and silence. Just odd. The funny thing is their website promises no hassle returns. I'll skip this shopping experience

Shady AF. Website says generous 60-day return policy. I returned my item which was of very poor…read morequality within 2 weeks of receiving it. I got no response for another 2 weeks after they received the item. The only reason I did receive a response is because I had sent three or four emails. Their response was that they would not return the item to me, they would not process an exchange, and they would only give me a 50% store credit. So basically I gave them $180 and have nothing to show for it. They have since stopped returning any emails but it may be that it just takes them weeks to respond to emails. Customer service is terrible, products are questionable and quality. They are not registered with the BBB and have no authentic reviews on their website

I love learning about culture and didn't want to interrupt as I walked around the store I noticed that iconic Buddhas with handwritten messages about what each figurine stood for. I only know about a couple of the Buddhas and good luck charms within the Japanese and Chinese culture but Tibetan culture is still new to me. Some of the items were a bit overpriced, but I believe for the value since they were imported, it wasn't too bad of a price. Plus, I love shopping at small businesses and I fell in love with some bracelets that look similar to an Nenju in Japanese culture, made out of turquoise and tigers eye. I know the healing qualities of both beads, and I bought two of the bracelets for my son and my best friend. As I asked the gentleman about the masks on the wall, he was delighted to tell me about his culture, and how there is a Buddhist tradition where people wear a larger version of the mask to ward off bad/evil spirits at different festivals throughout the year! I was able to share with him about the Japanese culture and how they have a festival in February where someone wears a red or blue mask of an OnI mask. He listened to my story and added more from his culture since he was from Tibet! I love to listening to his story, and he actually brought up a video of the cultural dance on his iPad! I felt very enlightened for the day, and I loved learning about his culture and history! I will definitely be back again!!

As another reviewer stated, the items are very well curated. Yes, it's consignment so it's catch as catch can, but I can't remember the last time I went into either a thrift or consignment store and bought more than one item, if I bought anything at all. With Lola's it's a different story, I ended up putting items back because I was having too much fun, but didn't want to buy too many things -I only have a finite amount of space after all. I will definitely be back anytime I happen to be in the Fairfax area, which unfortunately is not that often.

There is a place which honors San Francisco and the Richmond ( the District and not the city of Richmond). This place has art which honors the monuments of San Francisco and the style of San Francisco on clothing. It is called Fleetwood. On a Summer stroll on Clement street I landed inside Fleetwood. Inside you will find hats and jewelry along with shirts and seaters with prints that represent San Francisco from the Richmond District to the Golden Gate Bridge to the Sunset Dunes. You will find posters with San Francisco related prints along with tote bags. Fleetwood is also an art gallery and also has screen printing workshops. This is a good place to shop for clothing that is artistic which has a connection to San Francisco. It's interesting that weather in SF is "misunderstood"and to try to fight does "no good "so gear up when it's hot or cold in the Richmond "neighborhood "in SF at place called" Fleetwood" Go on a coffee run , walk or "jog"and you will find in SF place so you can yap and have a "dialogue" about what your next social media "vlog"and you will be surrounded sometimes like on 4th of July "Karl the Fog"
