They include a mix of antique pieces, which work perfectly with contemporary designs. I love the chandeliers they had throughout this most recent visit. As soo as you walk in, you can't help but fall in love, it mixes all items seamlessly, providing fun spaces, and one of a kind pieces. I've purchased a couple of jewelry items both visits, and while I would basically buy anything in the shop, it is rather pricey. But, if you are looking for pieces that truly are treasures that can be handed down, or unique items, as well as items that will last for years...then splurging isn't so bad!

*sigh* If you would have told me 5 years ago that I'd be giving Ella's anything less than 5 stars,…read moreI would have been shocked. Alas... I have been a faithful Ella's shopper for...oh man, a long, long time. 10 years at least. They used to be in this tiny, tiny place and while they did have some pricey, vintage and vintage-inspired clothes, they also had a substantial amount of real vintage, reasonably priced, *amazing* stuff. In particular, I recall that they always had once rack of adorable vintage blouses and none of them were over 30 bucks. I have an incredible lightweight black wool jacket from the 30s that is one of my all-time favorite pieces and I can think of at least three other items that I bought years ago and still adore. A few years ago or so they moved into a huge, beautiful space, still on Front Street. (Side note: I really wish they hadn't gotten rid of their old logo. It was beautiful and what they have now looks like something from Photoshop 101.) Like I said, the space is beautiful and they did a great job on the interior design, but....man, I can just not afford anything in there anymore. And I pretty much literally mean that. The bountiful rack of under-$30 blouses has been reduced to maybe 5 or so only "OK" items. Everything else is very expensive and a lot of it isn't vintage--just the same stuff you see in a lot of these high-end, plastic-y, tourist-trap "SoHo" boutiques that cater to women under a size 10. Don't get me wrong--a lot of the clothes are still beautiful and they do still have a formidable vintage section. Also, they sell Frye boots which I really, really love. I'm just disappointed to see the turn toward catering to tourists and townie yuppies with money. Something else--the staff is stylish and nice, but *way* too pushy. I hate when people try to sell me things when I'm just looking around. Also when they make me feel bad for not buying anything. I still have a place in my heart for Ella's and I still go in every time I visit T.C. I also do recommend checking it out--it is very beautiful and worth looking at! I just wish I could afford to do more than look.

I shopped at this location yesterday afternoon. I attempted to purchase four items and the sales…read moreassociate refused to give me my items because the power temporarily went out in the middle of the transaction. On my end it showed that the transaction had gone through but she was saying over and over again that it didn't go through on her end. I used my Torrid credit card and I called into the credit card company, they were not able to help confirm if the transaction had gone through or not. I still have not been given any clarity on if I was just charged $220 for merchandise I didn't even get to keep. I also used a $20 birthday reward on this transaction that disappeared from my account due to the transaction going through on my end. I will likely never shop at another Torrid store or order online because of my absolutely awful experience at this location.

If you're in the price bracket, definitely stop by.

We were window shopping in Traverse City on a fall Wednesday and happened by the Roth Shirt…read moreCompany. They had an outdoor display with a great selection of nice, heavy cotton t-shirts in just wonderful colors. I went in to buy a t-shirt with a funny "bite me" graphic on a fishing lure for my husband and walked out with that shirt, plus 2 for myself (including a beautiful lavenderish purple lady's cut t-shirt with a graphic of the state of Michigan). My purchase of three t-shirts earned me a free hat. I was very pleased with both the shirts and the shopping experience. So far, the t-shirts have held up just great. As we live nowhere near the Roth Shirt company, it is good to know they have a website. I have not used it. Yet.

Three other shops in town, on Front street, carry Kuhl brand clothing and none of them would order the pants for me. I walked in and talked to Joe about ordering them and "No problem!" was the response I got. He ordered them for me on the spot. The next day our flight department, was told to relocate to Florida for the winter a week early. I walked in to talk to Joe about not being in town to pick the pants up and he offered to ship the pants to me, free of charge! Additionally, I spotted a blue Kuhl pullover that I had purchased in grey a few days earlier in another store. I had also asked this store if they could order it for me in blue and got another "No" response so I purchased the grey one. I talked to Joe about this also and he asked if I'd worn it yet which I had not. He said, "Bring it in, I'll exchange yours for a blue one." Again, awesome! Thanks Joe. I won't be shopping for clothes anywhere else in Traverse City next summer.
