It was just a simple calculation in my head because of the El Paseo location and it being not too far from the all-out MAGA Patriot Store. The 'pretty things inside' sidewalk sign caught my attention today and I ventured in with the lowest of expectations. Turns out, my assumptions were way off; the shop has a beautiful aesthetic with thoughtfully curated clothing that captures the L.A. cool vibe that I remember well when I lived there. The clothes are priced appropriately for their quality, to be sure. They are not expensive per se, but you are getting top notch quality for the money. A sweatshirt may be $200 bucks but it is likely the softest one you'll ever own. I loved how the clothes had such a luxe, soft touch to them. There were some summery white clothes that were chic but I don't know how you could wear underwear underneath them that doesn't show, but that's not my concern. I was greeted when I walked in, checked on while shopping in a friendly way, and not stalked which I also appreciated. I ventured upstairs to the home goods department (I think she said) and found lots of mystical items and books that I was fascinated with. I don't hold any beliefs on tarot, astrology and the like, but I found this display charming and I picked up a few 'starter kits' just for fun. Checkout was pleasant and my purchases were wrapped in tissue and placed in a lovely bag. After my visit I scanned through some of the Yelp reviews and was surprised to see someone complaining about the customer service or that they had to ask for a bag or whatever. And that they didn't know you could only exchange for a store credit - Girl, there is a sign right there next to the payment machine. I'll be back for sure and would highly recommend Blonde to all blondes, brunettes, redheads and ravenhaired.

The Palm Desert Bottega Veneta store is a five-star establishment for not only the convivial and engaging spirit of Sheila and Helena (staff) but also their exquisite attention to detail and customer service. I inquired recently about a zip around wallet early in the week and they suddenly they had it in their store in less than two days for me to explore. The most amazing part is that my best friend surprised me by purchasing it for me and clandestinely coordinated the act with the help of both Sheila and Helena. Both staff members made the experience of receiving the item a true high end event and made me feel important and high end, like the aim of the brand. I was so overwhelmed with my recent experience. I'm still in awe for the kindness and exceptional customer service of the Palm Desert Bottega Veneta store. The staff of Sheila and Helena are experienced, friendly, and will cater to the style needs of their clients. I highly recommend anyone to peruse this store, as they will likely be steered to the highest quality items that match their style with exquisite service.

I asked them to clean it, but when they still came back gunky, and they had attitude about my peers, getting free earrings, I didn't get them. They denied the fact that was gunk on them and their gaslighting. Bad customer service and poor attitudes here. 2 stars because it's cute, although it is overpriced. Nicer attitudes appreciated
