I stumbled across Potomac River Running with my friends and was immediately greeted by Christian…read more He offered to help all of us get our feet scanned to see what types of shoes would potentially benefit us in our running journey. Once Christian scanned my feet, he sent the results to me right away and offered me a few recommendations, such as the Hoka Clifton 9s, as well as a variety of Ons. Christian was not only super friendly, but he is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the products in the store. He also helped explain certain terminology that I was uncertain about. I ended up walking out with some new shoes that I am excited to test out. Would highly recommend Potomac River Running, and I would like to give a huge shoutout to Christian for being such a great employee to work with! Someone please give him extra kudos, and a raise!

Walked in here today with a friend in search of a dress for a film festival. The cheerful lady…read morehelped my friend find a lovely blue dress from the Black Label collection, unfortunately her size was sold out and had to be shipped from Bal Harbour. The store carries for women: Blue Label - Polo for women Black Label - More modern sylings that are vanity-sized (my size 6 friend fit a 2) Collection - Runway pieces and fancy accessories Men's collections are: Polo - Legendary collection that redefined American menswear Black Label - Modern menswear with European influence, runs rather fitted unlike the women's collection Purple Label - Finely-tailored menswear with generous British cuts, everything is made in Italy The storefront changes every season, currently whitewash and hardwood to advertise the winter sale and resort collection. The inside is decorated to resemble rooms in a fine home with closets for fitting rooms and wooden tables instead of selling fixtures as well as comfortable chairs to make the store seem more personal. The store mainly focuses on the Black Label and Purple Label sportswear lines for men and the Blue Label and Black Label collections for women. The pieces in this store reflect the unadventurous, reserved nature of D.C. fashion especially for men, except for a really funky Black Label shirt jacket with technical fabric and leather trim. This location does not carry my favourite collection RRL, Ralph Lauren's vintage denim and western brand. The store is a bit on the small side but no larger than the other boutiques in this mall Five stars for the exceptional service. One star off for limited product selection, and one more star off for no RRL.

As I went in the store, there was an employee on an iPad or phone and she looked at me over her eye glasses and then just kept on doing what ever it was she was doing. I found the bag I was looking for and then turned and saw more bag so I started looking at them and actually found a really cute one. I was just about to ask someone to help me so I could purchase it when another employee walked up to me but just stood there and stared at me. So I put the purse down and walked out. Very weird! I'll never go there again. I thought about buying the bag online because it was really cute, but I don't want any reminders of my experience at this store.

I had shopped at Paul Stuart NYC and was very pleased when I saw there was a Paul Stuart DC. It is not the cheapest store in town, but you do get what you pay for. I will say, some of the comments about the staff are not wholly unwarranted. It's somewhat hit or miss with them. I have not been to the NYC store in some time, but the staff there particularly and occasionally in DC can be standoffish, which I find very odd and I can see why people find it off putting. Regardless, find a sales associate you like because the clothes are fantastic

Saks in Chevy Chase is a throwback to a more genteel era. Stores like this used to have snooty…read morereputations but nowadays I always find the staff very friendly and welcoming. While the standalone men's store across the District line is now sadly gone, the third floor is now the men's department and has just a good of a selection as the old store. What I like about Saks compared to Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales is that Saks still has a top notch, high quality private label collection of menswear basics. In addition, their sales can be great, especially on the private label clothes. The new parking lot arrangement is very odd. When you park you have to scan a QR code, pay for parking, and then Saks can give you a discount code inside that makes it free. It's a lot of steps for what used to be just handing over a validation ticket. Given that the clientele here skews quite old, I can't imagine this change has gone over well. If you are a regular customer, your sales associate can register your plate and then you don't need to go through this whole rigamarole each time.

I had placed an order on the app. I can see the transaction on my credit card. However, I cannot…read moresee the pending order on their website, nor have I received a confirmation email. I called their customer service about it. The wait was not too long. The customer service representative could not find anything about it. He seemed annoyed by my request. He gave me the phone number of a third party company that handles their credit card transaction to confirm whether the transaction went through or was a hold. He was ready to hang up to get rid of me. Why should I call a different company? Anyways, I did it, after being on hold for 20 minutes, the other representative was just as clueless, did not ask for any information. Once I told him it was an amex card, he told me they only handle visa and mastercard transactions. Now I need to call Saks again to find the subsidiary that handles their amex transaction?! What a horrible waste of time, and inefficient workflow. They should have audit logs in place for their representatives to access and understand what went wrong. They just had zero explanation and wasted my time for nothing.

Perry was really helpful and worked her magic to help me after letting me know that they don't carry the color of my item for exchange. She was super patient and was able to make the exchange on my behalf despite some technical difficulties with some the ipods not working. In the mean time I did some perusing and tried some other gear on. Usually I try to avoid the fitting room because it can be a frenzy but it was fun here. They wrote my name outside my dressing room which I thought was cute. I guess it's the little things that can actually make shopping enjoyable. Just fyi, when you order from the store, they will ship directly to your residence since they don't do in store pick ups. Overall, it's a neat, tidy, and clean store. Prices are also a bit better than lululemon (a couple of stores away) and it's also solely for women's clothing.

I took almost 30 shirts here on behalf of my company to have embroidered with our logo. I picked them up yesterday and almost every single shirt is RUINED because the embroidery job completed was absolutely terrible. Photo attached to see for yourself. I will be inquiring about a refund for the embroidery services and will also be inquiring about them paying for new shirts from Under Armour. I'm truly at a loss for words. Unacceptable to hand over shirts like this to a PAYING customer.

The new-ish store in Annapolis is a mecca for sports apparel and recreational equipment. It is clean and organized. Downstairs there are seasonal items, general athletic apparel for the whole family and a large shoe department. Upstairs is sports specific with big sections for football, baseball, lacrosse, golf, bowling, etc. We even came across a section with bikes and kayaks. I really enjoyed pursuing the entire store and I spent the most time eyeing up Yeti and Hydroflash drinkware and Lodge cast iron pans. Yes, there is even a small camping/outdoor living section with hammocks, chairs, yard games and such.
