As locals - hyperlocal, in this case - I'm admittedly grading Sugarcube on a curve. I love having a…read moreshop nearby that offers a nice selection of men's and women's clothing, spanning styles and price points that resonate with both my wife and I. It's a massive store with a lot of merchandise, so you're likely to find something you like if you're in the mood to shop. Even when we haven't wanted to shop, we've found things when just popping in to say hi. You can dress up, or dress down. Shop affordably, or splurge a bit. They've introduced us to brands that we didn't know, and are always refreshing their assortment. As an independent business, they're obviously not getting in a ton of sizes, so as with all boutiques, if you see a piece that you like, you're wise to jump on it at that moment...even if you may pay a premium. A lot of the negative reviews here seems to fall into the buckets of price, assortment, or staff attitude, which may have validity in those instances, but for myself, I've only had great experiences. From the first time I went in when visiting Philly a few years ago to now as a neighborhood resident. The consistent, positive experiences we've had is why we continue to go back and spend the few extra dollars on a piece to support their local business. Plus, the men's assortment usually has things that work with my own style preference (casual, understated, but seeking quality materials and a more tailored fit in the $40-120 range). The women's assortment tends to run a bit higher, but that could just the difference in what my wife and I have shopped there. The staff are always eager to talk to us about their new arrivals, but they haven't been too pushy, thankfully. Regardless, Sugarcube likely has something for just about everyone, and if your experience mirrors ours instead of some of the more negative reviews here, hopefully you'll enjoy shopping there and find that piece you've been searching for! Enjoy!

Glad this place is closed, good for that guy!

A few days later, I received a cancellation notice falsely stating that I had requested to cancel the order -- which I had not. I had to reach out myself to find out what happened, and only then was I informed that the company had decided to cancel my order due to the cost of international shipping -- despite the fact that I had already paid the higher shipping and duties. No one attempted to contact me beforehand or offer any alternative; they simply cancelled the order without discussion. To make things worse, the sale price of the bag is no longer listed, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the cancellation. This was a very disappointing experience, marked by poor communication, no accountability, and a complete lack of customer consideration. I strongly advise against ordering from Totem Brand Co., especially if you're outside the U.S.

Lots of collaboration, artistic and unique. You'll find something here or at least a good gift for love ones. The only down side, it's on the expensive end but what you get is good quality.

So impressed with the fairly new shop P's & Q's on South Street. The store has a clear focus and…read moreaesthetic and is a welcome addition to the city. The brands they stock are thoughtful and considered. You can browse through a rack of Massachusetts brand Penfield, Brooklyn's The Hill-Side and Copenhagen's fresh menswear line Norse Projects (the only place in Philly that carries this brand). P's & Q's also offers up home goods and skincare from eco-conscious brands like Izola and Baxter. The back of the store showcases beautiful hardcover tomes from Taschen Books and U.S. stationery brand Field Notes. The shop also carries their own line of T shirts with smart and bold graphics created in-house. What I like most about P's & Q's is not their stocklist but their overall vibe. The design of the interior is gorgeous. There is wood everywhere including the floors, shelving units and islands. There is something about wood that is just naturally inviting and warm. The occasional incense stick helps also to relieve the stress of shopping (it's hard for dudes sometimes). The entire staff is also super friendly and helpful, and most of all laid back and unpretentious. There is nothing worse than dropping a few hundred dollars in a shop and leave feeling like they did YOU the favor! P's & Q's showcases their own interests and sense of style as apposed to following the latest trends or letting blog posts from Hypebeast dictate their inventory. They also focus on brands that have eco and socially conscious business practices, this is something that is very important to me. I always read about cool menswear shops in London, New York and LA and think to myself "Why Can't Us?" to quote the famous 2008 Phillies slogan. Finally there is a place right here in Philly that offers smart style in a beautiful storefront that is both welcoming and comfortable to shop in.

Every item feels intentionally selected, with a mix of avant-garde, high fashion, and timeless classics that make it a dream for collectors and enthusiasts alike. I finally got my hands on an archive Issey Miyake Fête piece I'd coveted since seeing it on the runway, and it was absolutely perfect for a special event this month. No other retailer in the U.S. (that I know of) carries as much Issey Miyake as Moore does, and knowing this is my business! Their selection of iconic and hard-to-find designer pieces is next-level. You'll find everything from Comme des Garçons to Celine to YSL to Yohji Yamamoto, with an emphasis on wearable art and innovative design. The space itself is intimate and inviting, making for a shopping experience that feels both personal and inspiring. If fashion is your business --editors, stylists, artists, managers-- you need to know about this place. It should be in your arsenal of spots to check out, especially during awards season! It's the kind of place where every visit uncovers something new, and if you love fashion history and statement pieces, it's dangerously good.
