I was passing through Town Center Corte Madera and needed a cute summery dress. Saw one in the…read morewindow of this sweet women's boutique, so stopped in. The dress I found was Z Supply - my size and the perfect fit, score! - so I was in and out! But if I had more time, I'd peruse their other items Looked like they carry lots of cozy, comfy pieces and lots of neutrals. Think clothing, jewelry/accessories, and some home/gift-type items. The store was clean and neatly organized - very inviting. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area.

This store was super cute. I loved most of the items and the layout, color scheme. Basically…read moreeverything. Very weird interaction. I bought this cami that is brand new with Free People tags listed for $28. The cashier tells me the total is $42 and I think that's awfully high based on the tag. I say "oh. I think that's the wrong item" and show the tag compared to my receipt. She tells me that the tag is for free people but they charge more. Which doesn't make any sort of sense. Why would I pay more here when I can just shop at free people? So I leave very confused. My friend and I think maybe there's a miscommunication because my receipt is ringing up for a completely different product than the one I'm buying. So I go back to clarify. She tells me the same thing. They charge more than what the tags say. She ended up refunding me with a tinge of atttitude. But I genuinely don't understand. Did they just label the tag incorrectly or are they purposely upcharging people? Either way, pay attention to your receipts.

Just a note ....each of the San Anselmo fashion stores carry differing lines so one is guaranteed not to see the same thing in every store.

She was pushy to sell it to me and used a scarcity tactic that unfortunately I succumbed to that day, "this will sell fast and will not have another one." I liked the color and I wanted another cashmere piece in my collection so I purchased it but when I got home and put on my glasses to remove the tag I was shocked to discover that I've been fooled. One side of the tag read "100% viscose and the other side read cashmere touch". I paid $200 for an item that was not actually cashmere. I tried to return it the next day but owner told me no refunds, store credit only. I feel I was tricked and want to warn others to be careful when purchasing from this store.

Shopping Experience at Nordstrom Racks…read more I am not a shopper! I don't enjoy walking from store to store in search of specific things or gifts, especially during the holidays! I want to walk into no more than three or four stores, get everything I need, and be done with it. That said, I enjoy walking through my favorite stores and checking out the goods without any specific purchase in mind. Sometimes, I find something I wasn't planning to buy, but I realize it could help me or make someone close to me very happy. I know this sounds confusing, but I think you get what I mean! Anyway, Nordstrom Racks is one of the stores I enjoy walking through. They are organized and carry well-known brands, which is not as important to me as it is to many others. This specific location is one of those stores that we visit often, and I have found and bought many items here. The staff has been helpful whenever I needed help, and we've never had any issues shopping here. The prices for certain items may be somewhat higher here than some other comparable stores, but if you do not have the time to go from store to store hoping for a better price, then it is worth it. The only drawback is that the racks can get very messy during busy shopping periods like the holiday season. So, it is always best to visit and get what you need before the crowds rush in and mess things up!

He gave expert advice on fit, making sure both jacket and pants were tailored perfectly. He made the whole experience enjoyable with his humor and stories of the shop's 80-year history, and made me feel comfortable and confident in my choice. We had looked at a few other retailers around SF/Marin, but none were as helpful or had the quality of suits available as this store. If you need a suit or custom tailoring, I highly recommend working with Tom at Louis Thomas.

I was hoping to find a specific pair of Skechers I had seen online so I could try them on and, if they fit well, purchase them at the same price or lower. When we arrived, I happened to run into a store associate and asked if they carried Skechers. She kindly walked me to the section where they were located and mentioned that they might have a few pairs in their Clearance section at the back of the store. While they did not have the pair I was looking for, I found several other brands, such as Cole Haan and Florsheim, that caught my attention, so I decided to try them on. In the end, we did not make any purchases this time, but we plan to return in a few weeks to see what they have then.

You know right away if the shoe on display has your size by looking down at the inventory stacked below. You won't find the latest greatest models of shoes but you will find something for your feet. Manage expectations. You aren't shopping at Nordstrom or even Neiman Marcus designer shoe parlours. I bought New Balance for my sweet mother in law. Then I bought a pair for my loving husband. They both LOVE their new shoes, the fit, and how it makes their bodies feel. I'm delighted that I have made straightforward no fuss purchases at a great price to persuade both of them to exclusively buy footwear that fits well from day 1 while supporting your body. I knocked off a star because while I do understand their great prices are due to self service and not stocking the latest style. I wanted the latest style New Balance like mine from Nordstrom. I was too lazy to drive to Nordstrom Corte Madera when I also wanted to take my MIL clothes shopping at the lovely Vintage Mall. They have different inventory online vs in person at this location so do check there as well. Lots of parking, easy try on and purchase, friendly staff, easy return/exchange. Get you a pair of shoes that make your body feel good.

I had a great experience here. I did a return, and also browsed their sale section, which was quite expansive. I was able to find these really cute jeans in my size, that were an additional 50% off, although final sale. Their sale rack was very organized, and very plentiful. There was a whole room full of tops, and two racks of jeans. There were even more random sale items throughout the store, not in the sale section. I was quite surprised. I waited in line twice, once to return, and once to buy my jeans. Neither wait was long at all - just one person ahead of me, quite quick. I don't know why this store such poor reviews, because I had a pleasant experience here!

Not only that, but they seemed displeased to even see a customer there and it wasn't even closing time. Considering how quiet and empty the store has been lately (at least during weekdays when I've gone), management should consider the types of folks they are hiring, and also not make the entire main floor look like bland denim central. The giant PILCRO sign and just the overwhelm of all the denim, and overpriced products (for cheap polyester quality) and lack of tester-opportunities of the perfumes (no perfume tester papers even to spray the perfume on--but instead MINI SAMPLE PERFUMES FOR PURCHASE, WTF) it's like this store is wanting to go out of business.
