"They seek him here, they seek him there His clothes are…read moreloud, but never square It will make or break him so he's got to buy the best 'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion" (the kinks) I stumbled into SONAS after I had a $14 pancake ($17 with tip) across the street in lovely Fairfax. SONAS: snuggled sort of in between Gestalt Haus and the COFFEE ROASTERY. (Sans the character who used to wear nothing but pink terry cloth short shorts who would hang on the corner daily.) A groovy little store with maximum use of minimal space. Hip aesthetic, kind of like the British invasion meets Robert Graham on the way to a little modern day "Liberace-esque" style without the candelabra?! Not exactly the right gear for my body or my style as I'm sort of a self-proclaimed hetero "POLO Queen". I'm kind of locked in that chino slacks, Weejun loafers, old school preppy look. A very welcoming, friendly proprietor named GERRY holds down the set very well. It's a great haberdashery (maybe "boutique" is apropos as they have men's and women's clothing) for that evening out in the city at a rock concert just hanging out in general. An OASIS for Burning Man folk or the Marin County corporate attorney preparing for a weekend of debauchery! JIMI on one wall mirrored by PRINCE on the other with Gerry sporting a sort of iridescent blue tie with the words "KIND OF BLUE", a nod to Miles. A trifecta, three of my favorite musicians! "So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star? Then listen now to what I say Just get an electric guitar Then take some time and learn how to play And with your hair swung right and your pants fit tight It's gonna be all right Then it's time to go downtown Where the agent man won't let you down" (the byrds) These lyrics came to mind as I was eyeballing the joint and they're very fitting, GERRY the "agent" and "downtown" representing Fairfax downtown.... Kind of reminds me of "famous4" in Mill Valley, but with a keener eye. I shall return one day and pick up something- maybe as a gift. Or, when I wanna "take a walk on the wild side".

I love learning about culture and didn't want to interrupt as I walked around the store I noticed that iconic Buddhas with handwritten messages about what each figurine stood for. I only know about a couple of the Buddhas and good luck charms within the Japanese and Chinese culture but Tibetan culture is still new to me. Some of the items were a bit overpriced, but I believe for the value since they were imported, it wasn't too bad of a price. Plus, I love shopping at small businesses and I fell in love with some bracelets that look similar to an Nenju in Japanese culture, made out of turquoise and tigers eye. I know the healing qualities of both beads, and I bought two of the bracelets for my son and my best friend. As I asked the gentleman about the masks on the wall, he was delighted to tell me about his culture, and how there is a Buddhist tradition where people wear a larger version of the mask to ward off bad/evil spirits at different festivals throughout the year! I was able to share with him about the Japanese culture and how they have a festival in February where someone wears a red or blue mask of an OnI mask. He listened to my story and added more from his culture since he was from Tibet! I love to listening to his story, and he actually brought up a video of the cultural dance on his iPad! I felt very enlightened for the day, and I loved learning about his culture and history! I will definitely be back again!!

For quite a long while I noticed the grounds being turned into something. Then I noticed the…read moreinstallation of sculpture. I saw that they'd opened, but the hours (Saturday and Sunday only) kept me from stopping in for a while. Finally, while riding my bike on errands I dropped into The Ranch when it was open and, well, this place is a find. Exactly what is "this place"? Being the first to review I am left to choose up to three categories in which to list The Ranch. This is where creative thinking comes in. First and foremost, it seems to be a place for art. There's artists works filling at least two buildings on site in addition to a sculpture garden filled with beautiful pieces. Secondly, I chose "Interior Design" as, aside from the art, the largest single tenant here seems to be The Still Collective. Housed in a large, airy space, The Still Collective does interior design and staging but what you might pop in here for is to purchase their unique furnishings and, yes, more art. A handful of small studios connect the grounds between the art space and the interiors space: art studios, ceramics, women's fashion, surf photography, and Hawaiian-inspired retail. All in all, The Ranch is a really cool place to pop in for a look-see, possibly as you make your way out to West Marin. The grounds are so serene and lovely that I hope they add live music and maybe even a coffee bar at some future point but that, of course, isn't up to me. Until then, I will no doubt make time to stop in occasionally, to see beautiful art in a beautiful space and enjoy the historic property on which it all sits. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it too. I mean: who wouldn't?

We bought a gift for a friend, it didn't fit and we wanted to see if we could quickly exchange for a larger size. That's when the bizarre month long process began. Nobody answers the phone and the emails kept promising help and then nothing for two weeks. We even said hey we'll keep the shirt can we just buy the larger one as it was now on sale. Days would go by and excuses given and we were told we COULD. Exchange the shirt and they would send us a label... now more days and silence. Just odd. The funny thing is their website promises no hassle returns. I'll skip this shopping experience

I got no response for another 2 weeks after they received the item. The only reason I did receive a response is because I had sent three or four emails. Their response was that they would not return the item to me, they would not process an exchange, and they would only give me a 50% store credit. So basically I gave them $180 and have nothing to show for it. They have since stopped returning any emails but it may be that it just takes them weeks to respond to emails. Customer service is terrible, products are questionable and quality. They are not registered with the BBB and have no authentic reviews on their website

The ladies who either owned the store or worked there were so nice, very lovely to my daughter. I was afraid to bring her in there because she's a young child and there's plenty of breakable things but they seemed to love having her there. We got some pink rose quartz I think some stickers some candles and another stone my daughter wanted. The store was small but very well decorated and organized. Parking was a little rough but I think parking in Fairfax in general is rough lol! I definitely wanna go back and take my daughter again, she really loved that store we did a lot that day and she actually said that going there was her favorite thing she did on Sunday.

Cons: some things were priced appropriately, I got a Brandy Melville cardigan for $24. But some things were definitely overpriced - I'd say a lot of things. Maybe half the things. Ex: a forever 21 slip dress for $22. Probably cost that much (or less) brand new. I found the staff person to be very cool in temperature. Not icy cold, but far from warm or personable, and I did not feel super comfortable because of that. She was a bit cold toward both myself and another costumer. Just not inviting at all, and I'm not itching to go back. But would I stop in if I were in the area? Sure. Would I drive 20 minutes again? Prob not.

I was not given an opportunity to withdraw the purses if I felt the selling prices were too low. I was never given an inventory of what they kept or the prices. Security isn't great - when I went to pickup the 3 purses that went unsold, only 2 were located - the third was apparently shoplifted. The owner was unsympathetic and unconcerned.
