Oh, my...where to begin? My husband and I were walking through Montrose this past November. I had never noticed this store before. It is a little gem, stuck between two other stores and the interior was decorated like an absolute fairyland of lights, glitter, and good taste. The reviewer who complained that they couldn't get a wheelchair through the tightly decorated aisle or a baby stroller needs to stop and think. The inventory here is very delicate and the chance of catching an item on a moving chair or stroller could be highly upsetting to both owner and customer. LA real estate is very expensive. Commercial spaces that are tighter may limit your ability to shop in the case of small boutiques. That's why online stores are so convenient for all of us. The disabled, elderly, immobile, and for parents of children under six who might inadvertently handle or break delicate items may need to use caution. This is not the owner's fault. This store has beautiful jewelry, but I needed Christmas hostess gifts this holiday. I walked out of there with tons of beautiful hand blown ornaments and holiday decor for the home. Every item was lovely and each presented beautifully upon lit glass shelves. I was so excited to find the items I did that I returned the next day and bought two more gifts. A gorgeous 4" ballerina ornament and a colorful hot air balloon ornament. Nothing you could find in Macy's or Ross or Neimann Marcus. Our New Year's hostess was elated when she opened her LaPerla bag stuffed with colorful tissue paper and the ornaments we brought to her party. The best surprise was the lovely gift wrapping. NO ONE DOES THAT ANYMORE. It's is generous of the owners and kind of them to share such a luxury. I'll be shopping at LaPerla again very soon and want to thank Soma and all her lovely helpers. Finally, I don't have to make a big drive to Salutations over in Pasadena. Why? I have luxury gifts right here in our neighborhood and we're supporting small businesses in our own community. Thank you, La Perla, for sustaining elegance in our small town. read more

Home decor shop with lots of Christmas decorations for sale as well. A mix of all year round table setting and holiday ones. They also sell necklaces, bracelets, etc. Prices vary, from reasonable to higher. The atmosphere was kinda chaotic, the store was crowded and too busy. Overall, fun to browse but some of the merchandise is on the cheesy, gaudy side. read more

See all

Been coming here many times for last minute gifts. Huge selection in everyone's budget, beautiful wrapping for gifts. Sales associates very helpful. Was in and out with a gift in less than 20 minutes. Highly recommend this place if looking for any gift. So many great options. Will be coming back again and again. read more

If you are looking to buy a gift, I'd definitely recommend this place. They always have the best jewelry and the best gift ideas. Great customer service and you can find parking easily by their store. I love their gift wraps as well. Can't wait to go back and buy more stuff. I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

Beautiful items here The jewelry here is soooo pretty! Especially if you like dainty jewelry. The ladies here always nice And they always try to help out with coupons or discounts! If you sign up for offers, they'll mail you coupons! read more

Bad customer service. The ladies working didn't take the time to greet us after being in the store 15 mins. We were the only ones in the store so there was no reason to ignore us. I would have liked to buy something, but was deterred from buying due to the poor customer service. read more

Very nice store with good selection and very friendly staff. Christmas clearance was 70% off, they had nice selection of fashion jewelry if you are looking for a one of a kind gift. Will go back soon. read more

The service here is amazing. Everybody pays attention to detail and remembers who you are for the next time you enter their store. They have a very wide variety of selection and varying prices to fit everybody's budget. Their gift wrap is complementary and if you are taking a gift, it looks so beautifully wrapped. This is definitely my go to place for any gift items I need to buy and I also buy for my own home from there. read more

They are really good people nice but working very slow it takes 20 minutes or more for make rapid a gift it's feel they are not living in LA everything fast in city but that don't care my time is important for me if you don't care read more

The store carries nice "luxury" home items, and jewlerey (tons of Armenian designer items which is nice). It's well kept and typically offers kind service. My low star rating is due to their return policy. I used to be a frequent shopper myself, but purchasing directly from a retailer, or at a department store allows for a better return/exchange option- especially when gift giving. When the majority of your customers are purchasing to gift give, a 30 day non-negotiable return policy "because the computer system doesn't allow" is really just poor customer service. read more

Such a gorgeous gift shop. They have a beautiful collection of Michael Aram's items. They also have a very cute jewelry collection with mostly Armenian letters. They have a bunch of evil eye bracelets and necklaces so if you need protection for evil eye please go here. The ladies working there were super nice and very helpful. read more

Sona is most wonderful and gracious business owner. She always greets clients warmly. Her staff are most helpful. They do their very best to assist clients in finding the best gifts fitting ones needs. read more

This store is very hot and cold! If i could give zero stars i truly would. The employees seem to make their rules as they go. You do not get greeted when you walk in. The store is not wheelchair or stroller accessible. It is so tight that if you walk in with a wheelchair or stroller you will manage to hit something. Their prices are the highest in comparison to local stores with the same merchandise. There are several stores nearby that carry the same brands that regularly give discounts. Do your research people. This store does not allow you to combine store credit (which is literally like cash) with any promotion. Which makes no sense. This situation is like a store not allowing you to get a sale price of an item because you are purchasing with a giftcard. Lolll sounds insane right!! When i asked why i couldn't use store credit and the promotion, they said because i wasnt spending new money in their store and that they loose money when people exchange items for new items because they spend time, effot and energy for both sales but only get paid for one. Which was ridiculous. If anyone one has any questions please feel free to private message me. In response to the owner response: Imma responed saying. Thank you for your quick response to my review. I wish that your store was so quick, kind, and respectful to me at your store. Unfortunately, reviewing all your yelps reviews I am not the only one that have brought up these concerns. Safe to say this has not been a one time let down. read more

First time shopping at this great little boutique. Such beautiful unique pieces of jewelry. I couldn't pick so I ended up purchasing 4 items!! Customer service is great. Emma and Nvart were especially helpful. I'm very pleased with my purchase and plan on returning for sure. Highly recommend!! read more

Having been a resident of Montrose for over 25 years, I am so very happy about the location of this gift shop within my walking distance. I have been a regular since the day they opened their business and I am never disappointed at their customer service and their selection of gift items. The owner Sona and her staff are extremely nice and goes out of her way to welcome and accommodate you and every customer that walks in. The store carries a variety of gift items suitable to any budget. From high end luxury items to affordable gift items, they have it all. They offer their signature brown gift wrapping at no cost and they also accommodate returns and exchanges within reasonable time frame. La Perla is the place to go if you are looking to get a gift or if you are looking for an item to add to your house. I highly recommend this gem of a gift shop in Montrose. read more

Absolute gem. This beautiful boutique is the perfect place to find a gift and never disappoints. The ladies that work here are so kind and we always have such a nice little conversation during my visits. I am in LOVE with every single piece I have purchased from here! read more

This place offers a discount if you ask for it. If you receive a gift and try to exchange it; you will forfeit your discount! The Red head rude salesperson will give you one meaningless explanation after another. Take your business to Venus Gift in Glendale, where they honor your discount and treat you like royalty. read more

We had a bulk order (Christmas gifts for teachers)? when I went to pick up they were kind enough to have them boxed with bows! They are always so helpful and they always have such special treasures!! read more

First let me say don't waste your money at this place the owner is so rude and unprofessional they don't even know how to great customer's my wife and I where in there for 10 min and the whole time every time we asked a question we got an answer back with an attitude, what's funny is he was speaking to another worker in Armenian , and didn't realize that I was Armenian also and I know what he was saying , and let me tell u what he was saying was not nice at all . I would never go back to this place. read more

It was horrible dealing with the owner i believe it's the husband His very unwelcoming and arrogant it's like you have to beg him to buy from his store. If you have self-esteem and respect for yourself don't bother entering his store. The store is nice but very overpriced theres better stores that offer way better service where you don't have to beg to pay them money for there Chinese made goods ! read more

Hratch promised to refund the money since the product received was not as described or anything like the one in the photos extremely poorly made product very unsatisfied that it's taking this long to refund the money that he promised he would. read more

Love shopping here! I always find a gift even when I go in not knowing what I want specifically. Thank you for always being so sweet and wrapping my gifts always a good experience shopping at La Perla! read more

This shop has beautiful items and a great selection. However from the moment my fiancée and I entered the store, one of the employees followed us around in stalker mode. She didn't smile at me until I left the store. I felt so uncomfortable being stared at that I left. I don't think it was a security thing because there were other people but she was watching us specifically. I thought it was rude. There are other ways to assert yourself without being so creepy and rude. Instead off some help, but keep a polite distance. I don't think I'll be going back there. read more

AMAZING SERVICE!! During COVID we were wandering the area window shopping and saw a serving dish in the window that my Mom admired. Fast forward a month - I called them to see if they still had it to give my Mom as a present. They texted me pictures of serving dishes until we found the right one. They took my info and shipped it out the same day. Get this: it arrived the next day!! It's perfect. Thank you so much for all your help. read more

Beautiful items for sale and the owners are super nice. I had taken my mother to Sunday's farmers market and parked behind the store. She has limited mobility and uses a rolling walker. We first attempted to enter a spa next to Alex and Ani's to cross thru to the farmer's market. The owner of the spa refused to let us enter because she said she didn't want the liability. We went next door to Alex and Ani's and upon opening the door Alex looked up at us smiling and asked "Do you need any help?" Wow! What a nice man! I saw many beautiful items for sale and although I didn't have to shop; I will return. read more

I have always wanted to stop by this store and I finally had a chance to while I was enjoying Oktoberfest this past weekend. I'm very glad I did! I stopped by with my friend who needed a gift for her friend's daughter's birthday and she found a very cute bracelet on sale. I also bought a beautiful evil eye bracelet in 14kt gold. I'm hoping they get more of the matching necklaces in stock so I can buy one of those too. I really love their selection of jewelry and home wear. The associates are all very warm and helpful. I feel great supporting a local business especially when they offer such a wonderful selection and such stand up service. I will definitely be shopping here again read more

This is my place to go for Alex and Ani bracelets. They truly have the biggest collection I have seen besides the actual Alex and Ani store I had the pleasure of visiting while in Vegas. Plus their Michael Aram collection is a statement amongst my community members. read more

What a lovely gift shop. I try to shop from La Perla as often I can. They have great selection of gifts, specially jewelry. But importantly is their costumer service, where other Armenian stores lack of or don't have at all, like Venus on Glendale. So, thank you for your awesome costumer service that makes shopping so much more fun!!! read more

Tastefully curated unique and affordable gift items by a husband and wife team. Ab-fab. Love this place. (Also, the sweet owner tried her best not to laugh in my face when I asked her how frequently the Lebanese take road trips to Spain instead of plane - yikes!) read more

Great store for last minute gifts. They have beautiful home decor and jewelry. I like supporting local Armenian businesses and they are always so nice! They can customize very cute and dainty pieces that makes great gifts! read more

Thank you Sona and Hratch for your great service and eloquent gift. This fine establishment has very beautiful and interesting items. The price is great, the hospitality is unmatched, and the quality of gifts is superb. I'll definitely be a long time customer. read more

Customer service at it's FINEST. The owner, Hrach has absolutely the most stunning customer service skills. La Perla Design Gallery is breathtaking. When you walk in, you experience class and a fine shopping experience -- whether or not you end up actually purchasing things. The tasteful arrangement of the products encourages you to make a purchase. This is one of the few boutiques that I have encountered where they don't force products for you to buy. They make affordable suggestions and offer only the highest quality products. My favorite part is -honestly, the gift wrapping. Hrach puts so much effort into creating a fine gift for you to leave an impression with. When I'm looking for a unique gift, I stop by La Perla Design Gallery... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Love this place....... perfect unique gifts. Affordable too. Very helpful staff. Gift for any budget and occasion read more

This store is a gem! They have wonderful gifts for the home, jewelry and unique items. They do really great wrapping too!

La perla home is one of the best jewelry stores I have ever been too. Jake was so patient with me and helped me picked the right bracelet, earrings, and necklace. His price selection is hands down the best from any store I have been too in Pasadena and Glendale. His item selection is gorgeous. I love that he has some bulky stuff and a lot of precious chains along with some stones. La Perla Home is literally filled with anything you need for your home from china ware, to couches, to presents to entertain your loved ones like jewelry. La Perla Home gets a 5 stars and A+ rating from me. My mom has been here plenty of time but now it's my time to become a regular. Thank you Jake for all your help for me!!!! read more

Im extremely disappointed at their customer service as a preferred customer. My purchased 3 items yesterday and I went in today for an exchange with original receipt. The ladies told me I can exchange for same total amount. I picked 2 Michael Aram items, one was the butterfly salt/pepper holder which was labeled $100 on tag and the butterfly 5x7 frame. The lady with red curly hair charged me original price and refused to give me discount as preferred customer since my husband didn't provide my name when purchasing the gifts. I said fine, no worries. She then charged my $105 instead of $100 saying they haven't out the new price tags on yet. I said ur item on display table has it priced $100 and thats what customer service should be since thats the price I went with, she argued and said no we haven't had time yet to change tags. And to top it off she charges me $15 for tax just for the frame and another $15 for the frame. I said, why are you charging me 15% tax, she had no explanation but just said thats how much we charge on tax! Wow!! Total thieves!!! Venus gifts in glendale rocks and will always keep their customers because of their prices and customer service and im glad im one of their customers. I refuse to go back to Perla due to the lack of customer service and total rip off!! I will never ever go back. If anyone wants to be robbed and charged for extra bullshit, then make sure to stop and visit Perla to know for yourself. As an Armenian, I always support Armenian small business instead of bigger companies but it's a shame how they talk n treat you when they know you can afford it. Hence why they will never compare to other small businesses. You totally lost a customer today and I will make sure to let others who shop there to go elsewhere instead. read more
