They have a booth that is selling counterfeit Labubus as if they are real. Which makes me not trust any of the stuff inside the whole store because they are either not properly checking the booths they allow in or just don't care. I should have taken more photos but I didn't think of it at the time and luckily didn't buy it. I don't even care about Labubus all that much, I just thought this one was cute but when I sent a pic to friend who does know them they pointed out all the things that prove it's a fake such as the incorrect colors in the ears, bad/uneven stitching, bad paint job, and messy "trademark" stamp on foot. That and them not selling them with the boxes, as well as the other off looking toys the booth was selling made it pretty clear this was a fake. If I hadn't had a friend that knew all this I would have regretted my purchase and it just overall sullied my experience and trust in the place. I know some people would like this very well done fake as the real things are way too expensive and that's totally valid. My main critique was they were trying to sell it off as real, if they had been honest about it I may have even bought the thing because I just wanted one to joke around with friends with but I couldn't get past the feeling of purposely being tricked.
I will admit that's a bit of personal problem and I did see a lot of other really cute booths but I just couldn't get over the feeling that those booths also may be selling non-quality products because the Painted Tree Boutique as a whole doesn't seem to care that some of their booths are selling fakes.
This was my first time at a Painted Tree Boutique as well so it's possible this is common place in these stores and my standards were just too high as a lot of booths I first saw looked like personal booths that people were selling really cool and unique things. If I do go back I will be a lot more skeptical and less likely purchase anything but it does seem to show promise of a unique place to shop. read more
