I've been shopping at Tenshoppe since they first opened in Highland Park (even back when it was…read moreFashion 21 IYKYK). Big supporter of local businesses in my community. They have started to skew a lot younger so I mainly go for gifts. This holiday season I did the same. The sales person at the time of purchase mentioned that I had until Jan 10h for holiday returns. Today (1/4/26) I went in to return one item... from the moment I walked in the employee hanging out at the counter was displeased seeing me walk in with a bag & it showed. I was a retail manager for 4 years so I know how much we hate returns but I would never show it because that's customer service! Anywho I went in with my original receipt only to be told that because I didn't have a gift receipt I couldn't return it. I asked for an explanation because since when is a gift receipt better than an original receipt to get a full refund?!?? I couldn't tell you if the store policy sign was there when I purchased it or not but I KNOW I was never told or asked if I would need a gift receipt for a holiday return. Even so, receipt at hand, tags on, and item was in new condition. You would think that the manager would offer something like a store credit because the policy makes no sense. But no, she just had a smirk and cocky attitude. Lesson learned though, don't shop here ever again, supporting local business shouldn't mean buying overpriced clothes like a $32 basic white long sleeve.

I'm surprised this store does not have a yelp account. I tried looking for one to check in, but I…read morecouldn't find it. Anyways, This is the perfect place to find beautiful floral, frilly, dresses that are delicate, timeless, and very high quality. This is also their first brick and mortar store (it initially opened last year after doing pop-ups in Carpinteria and Smorgasburg). There are various dresses of sizes from XS to XL of various colors and floral patterns. Additionally, you'll find beautiful floral jewelry, hair accessories, candles, and hand-crafted perfume from local sellers. You'll even find art prints from artist Kim Hoppe of Carpinteria along with 123 lavender farm's lavender coffee. All of these would make perfect gifts for a friend, a significant other or in my case, for me - it was my birthday. The owners Astrid and Rikki are both very welcoming and friendly. Rikki also hosts candle making classes where you get to make your own custom scent, add crystals, add a wax seal and get complimentary drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). It's a wonderful activity to do with a friend, family member or loved one. I highly recommend making a stop here if you are walking along York Blvd. personal note: I rarely go clothes shopping. I only limit myself to buy at most 2-3 pieces of clothing a year to ensure I'm not over-consuming clothing. But when I do shop, 1 of the pieces I buy comes from here. I have 3 pieces from them and I get non-stop compliments whenever I wear them.

They're a Certified B Corporation and their proceeds fund primary schools in rural Egypt. The designs are basic (or they call them timeless) with some 90's influences. Some items are unisex. They have t-shirts, sweaters, tank tops, sweaters, skirts, dresses, shorts, etc. for women and shirts, sweaters, and pants for men. They also sell accessories like socks and hats. Plus, I spotted some towels and blankets. Prices seemed fair for sustainable clothing (e.g., $38 for a plain t-shirt). The cotton clothing wasn't that soft though and the designs were too basic.

DeeLux is a family-owned resale store that offers a suitable selection of recycled clothing, shoes, & accessories. They operate on a Buy-Sell-Trade model (Cash 30% or trade 50%). They also sell new accessories, gifts, & greeting cards. The grand opening was June 28th. They also have two other shops - one in Claremont and the original in Orange County. The store is nicely curated and neatly organized. Items are reasonably priced and cheaper than Wasteland, which is next door. The tchotchkes are cute & witty. Reminds me of what you would find at Urban Outfitter. I'll be sure to stop in on a regular basis to check out new inventory or if I need a unique gift.

I was looking for a replacement for my favorite pair of pants, and found some (the Ripley Raders)…read moreon Garmentory from Ri Ri Ku that fit the bill. I got them in the mail, along with a free tube of lipstick with--complete genius--a built-in mirror (how does every lipstick not have this)! Then I tried to get the pants on and found I couldn't get them past the top of my thighs. I was a bit devastated as I have been pretty frugal lately and was looking forward to buying my first piece of clothing in quite a while. The pants had been marked final sale on Garmentory, but in total desperation I phoned the store. Andie answered and instead of the let-down I was expecting, she patiently explained that the style is pretty tight at the top and I should try to work with them, but that in the mean time she would ship another pair of pants in the next size up and I could keep whichever fit better! I was so relieved and so grateful! While waiting for the other pair, I tried to get into the first pair I had ordered again, and with some help from some tights, I got them on. I realized she was totally right, and that they would probably keep getting a little easier to put on after that and that I did indeed have the correct size as the top fit perfectly once they were on. Overall, Andie just went above and beyond making sure that I was happy with the pants, and was so patient and kind, even when the first replacement pair got lost in the mail. She seems like a truly sweet person and I hope I can support her store more in the future.

I bought a bag from their store in Madrid, NM right before getting on a plane home from Santa Fe. I immediately put it in my carry-on to avoid checking a bag.

This bag is beautiful to look at, but unless you want your perfume to be "eau de deer skin", it can't be used as an overnight bag. When I contacted the store, I was surprised to learn they do not stand behind their products. This was not a custom bag made for me. It was on the shelf in their store.
