The owner, Pam, has an eye for unusual, mostly unconstructed styles, colorful, comfortable boutique clothing. It's always uplifting to shop there. I've discovered many must-have accessories there too. Aquarius is a Darien gem.

Always helpful, innovative with event clothes, and can dress you from head to toe! My particular…read morefavorite was a wedding in Kiowa, SC !! I had dress in bigger size altered to fit because it was no longer in stock! It fit like a glove and loved every minute of wearing it! Hope the new place works out! Nice location!

I asked for navy and tried it on in cranberry because I liked the style and hoped it would come in another color. It didn't. I acquiesced. I paid $800 and left the dress there, intending to return for alterations. Unfortunately, the wedding was cancelled. The no-return policy is understandable to prevent woman from wearing an expensive item and return it for cash. However, this dress never left the store. It was never altered; but, they adhered to their policy Best part: the salesgirl offered the alternative of a voucher for the amount, less a 25% restocking fee But, the voucher had to be used within the next two months

Darien sport shop seems to have survived the online revolution with help from, you guessed it Santa…read moreClaus. Every year Santa comes and kids line up from across the country to sit on his lap and tell them what they want. In Darien, that could be a new Canada goose jacket (available at DSS) or a new pair of Nordic skis (available at DSS). Maybe even a new Range Rover (not available but DSS can order it). And for the adults who brave the intense December line to catch a glimpse of the big guy, they setup a makeshift bar (no charge of course) with Bloody Mary's, Mimosas, Beer, Wine, all the fixings. Back to Santa, did I mention this guy is the real deal? He claims that he runs a bird seed shop in the off season, lol. Yea Kringle, I ain't buying it. Tell those elves at the North Pole that the socks you brought me in '94 were bull$#&!. Jk I'm a good boy I take it back.

The clothing selection is fill with dated trends, and not in a charming, vintage way--just the same…read moretired styles year after year. Or they OVER buy on a trend from the 2000's....There's no variety. There's nothing that makes this place worth a visit. Most of the staff is just as uninspiring. They offer a halfhearted greeting when you walk in, but beyond that, they're completely disengaged--mostly standing around with their arms crossed, looking like they'd rather be anywhere else. Which makes sense because they barely make minimum wage, which is concerning considering how much the owner walks away with year after year. I probably wouldn't be inspired to help customers either. It's pretty obvious that the owner of this store couldn't care less about their employees--or their customers, for that matter. Unless you're looking for outdated clothes and indifferent service, I'd recommend shopping elsewhere. Go shop at the family owned business Richard's in Greenwich much better selection, happy employees and OWNERS!

Why are there no reviews for this place? I have to admit I've been going to the movie theatre and…read moreStarbucks right there for years and never felt compelled to go inside until yesterday. Yes, they most definitely carried clothes for the typical mommies running around Fairfield County. To me, it was like I found their uniform shop - lol! But aside from these "typical uniforms" you see on most of the local Stepford wives, Chou Chou also carried plenty of unique, interesting clothing & accessories. I happily walked out with some nice new clothes. What was most impressive was the helpful and friendly staff. Where do you get that type of service these days? In very few places, sad to say. Here at Chou Chou, the staff was excellent. I will most definitely make this place part of my shopping arsenal from here on in.

Ok so I don't shop a ton in your store. I literally should do more for myself (it's not u it's me)…read more However I bought a blue Annabel Ingall and I love the bag. Each time I've been in your store you and your daughter (guess) are so helpful. I really need to get shopping and come in more often. Local vibe and very attentive. I will make a point to come back in soon!

So terribly disappointed in this company. They present themselves as boutique and their locations…read moreare in affluent areas. But they don't treat their customers with the courtesy one would expect from a boutique in an upscale area. Target treats their customers with more respect. I bought a $400 dress that ripped after two wearings. It was a summer dress and didn't realize it was ripped until I pulled it out to wear in summer 2024. I brought in and they told me too bad, too late??? It was over a year. Suggested I call the company myself. This wasn't some cheap dress. I though incorrectly that they would stand behind their merchandise. I have spent at least $ 5,000 between their Rye and Mt Kisco stores and expected to be treated like a valued customer. Did I expect a 400 credit? No. But at least something to recognize the dress was and defective and acknowledge my business. Some kind of credit. I will never shop here again. Be warned.

Beyond personable, I felt like I knew these two lovely ladies forever. I was greeted with a smile immediately when my husband and I walked in the store. I tried on a super cute boot in a size that was a bit too tight. Maria instantly called another store and the boot was in Darien that afternoon. I couldn't ask for better service. Such a breath of fresh air as I did NOT have the same experiences in fellow stores. It's so easy to be nice and these women have it down. Just have to exercise self control and not spend so much money there! Will definitely pop in to say hello when in the neighborhood.

The DCA has always…read morebeen an outstanding Darien Organization because they donate to many groups and provide Scholarships to local students. Lately however there are new people who are hurting the time-honored reputation of the shop. On my last visit, I was dropping off fairly expensive clothing. A man likely in his seventies, told me in no uncertain terms that I could only bring 3 bags at one time ! He really did not seem to have any idea of the value of the items and was very rude and almost hostile! He never called any of the regular staff to evaluate the articles and I left feeling put-out and sad to say the least. In the future I will donate to The New Canaan Thrift Shop, which has a much friendlier staff, even though I live in Darien.
