Overall, the trip was one of the better shopping experiences I have had. They know their stuff and pack a lot of selection in a relatively small store. The one comment I have that doesn't have to do at all with the customer service (which was top-notch) is that the website makes it look like there are fewer options in the store than you actually have (because of what it says is "unavailable for pick up"). So, I'm extra happy we live nearby and made our way in to look.

Ellie is a truly expert and professional tailor and seamstress. She does a superb job at a reasonable price and no job is too complicated for her or outside of her experience. The pandemic was very hard on her business as she had to shut down and is one of many small businesses that the venal Trump administration managed to ignore with their mismanaged and corrupt PPP loan program. Please support her and help her continue to be a part of Berkeley's and the East Bay's small business community.

The store and the staff are a whole vibe! Me and my daughter stopped in on a whim and left so glad we did. First off, the clothes are top-tier--you can feel it in the weight, fabric, and craftsmanship. And the staff?? 100 out of 10. Genuinely friendly, stylish, and actually helpful (a rare combo these days). They give honest opinions, make thoughtful style suggestions, and make the whole experience fun instead of transactional. If you're looking for quality closet staples that will last--and want to support a business with a team that cares and knows their stuff--swing by the Fourth Street location. Hopefully, you'll be lucky enough to catch Mason (cool as hell), Kelsey (all that and then some), or ZuZu (style goals). Oh, and did I mention? They offer complimentary tailoring with your purchase. Quality + service = worth every penny.

I loved being able to donate 5 old shirts and get $25 off. Amazing concept to prevent waste. Unfortunately, they switched up the Re-Spun program. Now you have to pay $22 to fill a bag of clothes to get a $40 code (so you basically get $18 only) that you're not able to reuse if your item doesn't fit and you need to exchange or return it. I had an interaction with a super rude Berkeley sales associate who hadn't even heard of Re-Spun...really?!! Why work for a company whose recycling program you don't understand? Kinda sad.

The selection of pieces in the store is good, but the level of customer service and even simple acknowledgement is non-existent. This makes you not want to support the store. I've gone in several times and have never once been greeted or acknowledged. I've made several attempts, thinking it was a staffing or individual oversight; it's the whole team. No good. The lack of interaction is actually the opposite in all other stores in the area, and this location is still relatively new. Not a fitting representation of 4th street, which is a neighborly energy.
