So yeah, they cram it full of cute stuff so there's a lot of selection but I don't think I have even made it to the back of this incredibly tiny store yet because I feel like the clothing is going to cave in on me. Actually, I think that may be the reason I have such negative feelings about this store. Then there's pricing. Ha. Ridiculous. Really. Ridiculous. Even their accessories are way overpriced for what they are. Also, there's a cute bead shop down the way that I frequent - some of the jewelry here (all handmade, I suppose) was made with components they sell at the bead shop a few doors away. Yeah, and marked up like 80 bazillion percent. Tacky. Also, the clothes are adorable. But I have tits. Their stuff is cut to fit 12 year olds or rich Brookline women with bodies like 12 year olds. And yes, most of the girls who I see shopping there are the college-aged, not quite done with puberty, daddy pays for everything crowd. Don't know that I would want to dress like them even if I could. It's like a preppier version of Anthropologie without the charm.

I found myself in Mint Julep today after months of seeing it and wondering what they carried. I'm…read moreso thrilled! I finally decided to go inside because I heard they'd be carrying a line that I like, and I come to find out that they carry several! I bought two simply GORGEOUS scarves that were actually priced lower than what I initially expected. A lot of the reviews of this place just do not do it justice! Let's clear it up. Is this boutique "too expensive"? NO! It's only too expensive if you're not familiar with the brands that it carries. These pieces are not overpriced or marked high beyond other retailers. Additionally, I saw at least one brand that's very hard to find in the US. The simple fact that I would be able to try on pieces from that brand without having to buy them up front and pay for shipping from Europe is a huge positive. Is the store "too cramped"? Hardly. It's a small store, but they have a very clean, beautiful layout. I was in there with two staff, a delivery guy, and probably four other shoppers, and I still had plenty room to be off in my own little world. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the store. Are the employees "rude and unfriendly"? Not at all!! My goodness. Quite the opposite. One woman behind the desk greeted me immediately and asked if I needed anything, another smiled at me, and I made conversation later (twice) and was met with receptive faces and eager replies both times. One of the women was less talkative, but she was busy and I wasn't talking with her directly. She did smile and look up and even laugh, though. She was far from rude. Basically, this is a lovely store, and you've probably got to be pretty rude yourself to think that the employees are rude. Additionally, if you're out of touch with the brands or the prices of pieces like what's carried at Mint Julep, you might think it's overpriced, but it's really not.

Things go fast, so if you like something, don't think on it too long. The reason for the 4 of 5 instead of 5 of 5 stars... Staff is hit or miss... i have had some fantastic ladies help me, but i have also been looked down upon by one lady when i was there who got mad that i was looking at something on a rack (which is not labeled "hold rack" or anything, and looks like all of the others). I pulled something out to look at it and she flipped out and said "THAT IS MY STUFF, LEAVE IT ALONE"... that was rude and soured my taste a bit, but the others i have dealt with are very nice. Wish they had a website we could buy through. I have to go there as my Dad's personal buyer for my mom all the time (they live out of town), and it is a pain. They don't have a website with all of their items online so you must go in.

I wandered into the Clever Hand for the first time yesterday afternoon while strolling through…read moredowntown Wellesley, and wandered out with 3 gorgeous, local artisan-made pieces (handloomed bamboo scarf, hand-dyed silk scarf, and glove leather belt with carved wood "buckle"), none of which I had expected to acquire but could not possibly leave without! The store is stuffed with lovely, one of kind or limited run things that reflect the vision and interests of individual, Massachusetts-based artists--so much more satisfying to browse than a big box store full of mass-produced stuff. The artisan/salesperson who checked me out (she works in paper, making cards and charming wall collages for children) was welcoming and helpful, and my checkout experience in no way resembled the one described by a previous poster. (Frankly, I was a bit taken aback by how indignant that poster got over her frustrating experience--seems she loved the contents of the store, but knocked it THREE stars for inefficient customer service? That seems disproportionate and unfair...)
