When I was checking out I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Andreas and had a great conversation with him. I would highly recommend this store to everyone and I will definitely be back again soon!

You walk in feeling one way and walk out feeling so fabulous, you could fly!!! The selection of designer fashion, shoes, bags and jewelry is curated with such attention to quality and trends, you will not find one that compares. There're exciting and innovative designers, creating trends that will be popular tomorrow, but you could already have it today. Ahead of the curve. The quality of the clothes and the jewelry is incredible. The fine jewelry selection is sooo divine, i started curating my own collection thanks to the owner and friend, Sarah. I'm so grateful!!! Every time i add to my collection, its pieces that i love sooo much, they make me happy every time i wear them and they are truly "MY" style. It's not throwing money on shopping, its investing into your wardrobe that will make you present the best you, the way you'd like to come across. The energy and positive vibes here are what makes this experience even more unique and somehow healing, transformative and rejuvenating. Not to mention the private VIP event Sarah organized for myself and my neice for ear piercings and tattoos that brought an incredible NY artist to Chappaqua to do her magic. OBSESSED!!! Can't wait to come back :)

This review was written by my mother who does not have Yelp , I am the daughter who got married and…read morecan attest to her review and that she looked stunning! "After looking EVERYWHERE in my area for a stylish, yet appropriate mother-of-the-bride dress, I stumbled upon this lovely store online. After looking at all the lines they offer, I knew my dress was there! I immediately called for an appointment and made the 3 hour drive the very next day. I was greeted by Rafael and Suzanne who were amazing and very knowledgeable. I gave them my price cap and they were great about sticking to that. I tried on at least 12 dresses! More than any other store I had been to previously. I couldn't believe it.. after going to store after store and seeing the same old Mother of the Bride dresses and looking online at the major department stores, here I was looking at all these gorgeous dresses that I had never seen before. After I found THE dress, I wanted a particular color and neckline. They contacted the designer and got all the info I needed to seal the deal. Because of their expert measuring, all my dress needed was hemming. And the fee for alterations was very reasonable considering all the work the seamstress had to do. My daughter just got married and I felt so special in my dress. I could not be happier! Elephant's Trunk is now my go-to store for ANY future formal events I may have in the future. I wouldn't even bother going anywhere else. It's a 3 hour drive for me. Totally worth it. It is a MUST VISIT."

I received a call a atcthe end of January that my dress will arrive duri the 1st week of May. I called at the end of April and was told it will arrive on May 7. I called on May 7 and was told to follow up on May 8. Nobody called my on May 8, so I ca again and was told it may arrive that afternoon. Despite asking to get a call that afternoon, I didn't get one. I called again at 5:45 and was told that the dress did not arrive and it's unclear where it I s. The owner said she will follow up on Monday. I go a call on Monday that the dress was NOT shipped yet from Italy. She asked me if I wanted to get an express shipping which I refused! She told me to come in on Wednesday morning to try the floor model and have it adjusted (that was on May 13!) As the zipper may be worn for a redux price. I had to go to another place. I would recommend to stay away from this shop if you want to have a peace of mind!

As I'm reading some of the reviews be considerate of the women in this shop who have to deal with the MOMs not the teenagers. Shame on You. In today's society everyone is too sensitive. For goodness sake if someone were to tell you that your kid needs a size up! you would have a heart attack for someone telling them that. Today's shops are afraid of suggesting anything that might offend you because everything offends everyone Get it straight. It's not Their fault. It's yours. They're catering and staying in business so you don't have to go online and get a tight, cheap, poorly made, non refundable, no contact piece of fabric. So we all can enjoy a Special Day. A step Ahead is Fantastic! Thank you for all that you do. You are appreciated and you have made Millions Happy!
