I recently picked up a pair of Rolling Dub Trio shoes, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Eden-Marcel went above and beyond.

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.

Everyone at this store is amazing -- helpful and knowledgeable, and not at all pushy or pretentious. It's a joy to explore the carefully curated products. While I'm here, I'd like to comment on the 1 star review by Alan. I happened to have been present on the day of this conflict and it lives in my memory as one of the creepiest and most uncomfortable retail interactions I've ever witnessed. Alan was rude, patronizing and deeply inappropriate as he attempted to intimidate the store manager, who held her own with impressive grace and strength. There were several customers in the shop that night, and it seemed that most were unwilling to leave until we knew that the manager and her staff were safe. We were relieved when security arrived. Kudos to the manager for her poise under pressure, her commitment to protecting her staff, and unwillingness to give in to his attempts to intimidate or take the bait of engaging with his review.

Doesn't help that the staff there are rude.. is it part of the atmosphere to justify the price. Let's act rude to everyone and pretend that the items here are too good for them so they want to buy it even more..
