But they don't treat their customers with the courtesy one would expect from a boutique in an upscale area. Target treats their customers with more respect. I bought a $400 dress that ripped after two wearings. It was a summer dress and didn't realize it was ripped until I pulled it out to wear in summer 2024. I brought in and they told me too bad, too late??? It was over a year. Suggested I call the company myself. This wasn't some cheap dress. I though incorrectly that they would stand behind their merchandise. I have spent at least $ 5,000 between their Rye and Mt Kisco stores and expected to be treated like a valued customer. Did I expect a 400 credit? No. But at least something to recognize the dress was and defective and acknowledge my business. Some kind of credit. I will never shop here again. Be warned.

Beyond personable, I felt like I knew these two lovely ladies forever. I was greeted with a smile immediately when my husband and I walked in the store. I tried on a super cute boot in a size that was a bit too tight. Maria instantly called another store and the boot was in Darien that afternoon. I couldn't ask for better service. Such a breath of fresh air as I did NOT have the same experiences in fellow stores. It's so easy to be nice and these women have it down. Just have to exercise self control and not spend so much money there! Will definitely pop in to say hello when in the neighborhood.

There is always new merchandise and the value can't be beat. Brands range from Lilly P., J. McLaughlin, Theory, Lululemon to the most high end designers--e.g., Gucci, Prada, Ferragamo. The staff is lovely and honest in feedback on what looks nice vs. not--they don't just try to make a sale. And the new owner is very warm and welcoming.

As a former consignor, they charge a $6 check fee just to write the check even if you choose to pick it up, plus other hidden fees.

Owner is always there and is cold and unfriendly. There are better places in the area to give your business to and look for a treasure!

Conservative children's clothing (ages 0-5, it seems) in quintessential madras, seersucker, khaki and the softest of cotton. Wonderful quality with distinctive details - a perfect little button here, rickrack trim there and a few cute crabs and anchors thrown in for fun. And the smocked dresses are as classic as the selection of books they carry. I mean that very literally! Sense & Sensibility for the under 3 set? An Alice in Wonderland colors primer? I bought a set of four in a heartbeat. Great spot to shop for gifts, special occasions or just another day in the good life.

I loved the bridal stylist I worked with (Krissy) - she was so knowledgeable and listened to my feedback well.

Overall it was a great experience and I have a feeling I'll be returning when I get closer to making a final decision!

Or they OVER buy on a trend from the 2000's....There's no variety. There's nothing that makes this place worth a visit. Most of the staff is just as uninspiring. They offer a halfhearted greeting when you walk in, but beyond that, they're completely disengaged--mostly standing around with their arms crossed, looking like they'd rather be anywhere else. Which makes sense because they barely make minimum wage, which is concerning considering how much the owner walks away with year after year. I probably wouldn't be inspired to help customers either. It's pretty obvious that the owner of this store couldn't care less about their employees--or their customers, for that matter. Unless you're looking for outdated clothes and indifferent service, I'd recommend shopping elsewhere. Go shop at the family owned business Richard's in Greenwich much better selection, happy employees and OWNERS!

Darien sport shop seems to have survived the online revolution with help from, you guessed it Santa…read moreClaus. Every year Santa comes and kids line up from across the country to sit on his lap and tell them what they want. In Darien, that could be a new Canada goose jacket (available at DSS) or a new pair of Nordic skis (available at DSS). Maybe even a new Range Rover (not available but DSS can order it). And for the adults who brave the intense December line to catch a glimpse of the big guy, they setup a makeshift bar (no charge of course) with Bloody Mary's, Mimosas, Beer, Wine, all the fixings. Back to Santa, did I mention this guy is the real deal? He claims that he runs a bird seed shop in the off season, lol. Yea Kringle, I ain't buying it. Tell those elves at the North Pole that the socks you brought me in '94 were bull$#&!. Jk I'm a good boy I take it back.
