The staff is always very helpful and nice. Nice jewelry, too. A real bonus is that they GIFT WRAP. Not just a bow on a box, but you choose from nice wrapping paper, and it comes with ribbon and a beautiful, curly bow. It's my go- to place for gift buying. And it's super convenient. I really appreciate this store.

I purchased a shirt at McCaulou's in Lafayette, and a week later attempted to return it at…read moreMcCaulou's in Orinda. The shirt was never worn, tags still attached, receipt in hand. The salesperson would not accept the return or exchange because the shirt "didn't look familiar" to her. Umm, excuse me...? I returned the shirt in the Lafayette store and the salesperson said that what I was told in the Orinda store was completely untrue and inappropriate. All returns are accepted within 30 days with a receipt. Would that have happened to someone of a "lighter hue"? I doubt it... Yes, I'm a Black woman. Needless to say I will never frequent McCaulou's again.

My one complaint about my experience is the AI system that fielded my questions about inventory; it kept repeating questions I had already answered about what I'd like to see, so I wasn't sure my preferences were going through. But once I got to the showroom, it was apparent my info got through, because Stephanie had set aside the pieces I was interested in. She was very helpful, and patient with my indecisiveness. One of the bags I wanted was out of stock, and not coming back, but Stephanie remembered there was a return at the warehouse, and managed to get it to me. I'm so grateful, cuz it had been on my wishlist for so long! My experience at the showroom was very positive thanks to Stephanie.

I decided spontaneously that morning to try and get an appointment, and it actually worked out! The welcome was incredibly friendly, and there is a wide selection of dresses in many different styles. You start with five dresses, and once you have a general idea of what you like, they bring you more options to try. At no point did I feel rushed or limited in the number of dresses I could try on. Renee assisted me that day, and she was incredibly kind, fun, and created such a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Now I'm really looking forward to the upcoming alterations and choosing my accessories!

Absolute gem of a thrift shop!…read more Well curated and the volunteers went out of their way to help me navigate the giant hula hoops I discovered. The prices are beyond great if you love vintage clothing and know fabrics. I may have found my favorite dress of all time here for a whopping $14 (because it's a two piece set of decorative vintage fabric) it was in the premium section and the volunteers were adorable making sure I knew why it was priced this way. (I couldn't afford a yard of this fabric retail I'm giddy about a vintage two piece set that I can customize). To then discover that the proceeds go to support women's scholarships was the ultimate bonus! My grand total for everything was $54 and I happily gave my change to the donation bucket by the register. If you are in the area and love unique vintage items this is a must explore. I had to resist the urge to buy several of the tea cup collections. I'm a sucker for vintage tea sets and they have several that are stunning! Great shop, fantastic volunteers who are donating their time to support a wonderful cause.

I had a rush size up request on a very delicate wedding dress I bought from my favorite designer in Korea and wanted to make sure the original design was retained as much as possible. Josh was able to do this with utmost confidence and professionalism, and was able to fix my dress within a matter of few days, just in time for my wedding. I was on the verge of having a mental breakdown with the dress not being able to zip up, but Josh was so understanding of my needs and made me feel reassured every step of the way. The final product was as if nothing changed from the original design and most importantly, I could zip my dress up and breathe in it! Thank you Josh, you are a gem!! You made what I thought was impossible possible. I am forever grateful.

My search for a trustworthy tailor came down to two options--one in the east bay and one on in the…read morecity. My criteria's outside of skill was also communication. Here is how I landed on picking Josh over my other comparable option. First, customer service. My initial call with Josh's was met with patience and professionalism. The person who answered my call helped me understand what I'm trying to get done, how long it would take and a good estimate of how much it would cost. On top of that they answered me on the first call. I couldn't say the same about my other options. Second, service. Josh's website makes it easy to book an appointment. I went on, booked a 20 min consultation and arrived to my appointment. I want to say thank you to Josh for being patient because I arrived ten minutes late due to coming from the east bay and he still gave me the time and care he normally would if I came on time. Josh knew exactly what had to be done before I even told him anything. He just looked at me and started pinning things up--I was very impressed. He gave me his honest feedback and allowed me to pick the best option possible for my needs without being pushy about additional alterations/alteration methods. I felt like I was in very good hands. Last but not least, the work. Josh's is only open on Saturdays and closed Sundays--so I had to pick up my suit before work at 8 AM. I tried on my suit just in case I needed additional work and it fit like a glove. I felt ready like I was going to a red carpet event and you can tell how well he did from my photo. Everything fitted perfectly and I left extremely satisfied. The cost was also very reasonable for adjustments on both my blazer and pants--it came down to $200 cash flat and finish time was less than the estimated 2 weeks. So if you're looking for someone to get you ready for that special event in your life, I highly recommend heading over to Josh's. Price is reasonable, work is professional and customer service is topnotch.
