I have been a fan of Simple Life from way back when it was Passport. The clothes are always wonderful and the staff are friendly and helpful. One always feels that you have all the time in the world to just play with various outfits, and if you want suggestions, the help is there. Wonderful fabrics, wonderful designs, wonderful companies all put together in interesting combinations. The BEST!!!! read more

I really loved the eclectic style of Simple Life! The clothing had a boho European air, almost a mix of Greek and Turkish designs without the embroidery. Think Frankie from Grace and Frankie and you've got it. After wanting to pick up a gift for the honey's grandma I found the perfect multi-hued scarf at Simple Life. The service was vibrant and the honey's grandma loved the gift. All in all I would definitely come back! read more

I have shopped here for many years going back to previous ownership. While the clothing options haven't really changed, the current owner has very poor customer service, at times failing to even acknowledge your presence in the store. She's very lucky she has excellent staff. Erica (might be her name, pixie cut) is always very attentive and friendly. read more

Walked into FreePeople and their selection was limited and for more of a teenager crowd. After walking a few blocks I saw in the window flowly clothes similar to Eileen Fisher style. I was with my husband and coached him into the store. lol (no men's clothes) With the great music and the sale lady talking up a storm with my husband (Thank God) I found two pairs of fun pants! I normally don't write reviews for clothing stores as they are subject to the individual's style but felt this was worth it! Gorgeous selection, beautiful fabrics, simple and beautiful quality. read more

Beautiful store with beautiful high quality merchandise. Great location near Pike Place Market!

I happened upon the Simple Life while heading to Fluevogs on the same block. I love comfortable clothing with a classic look and quality and was immediately drawn in by the window displays. URU is one of my favorite brands and they had the best selection I've seen yet! The great customer service won me over as well, I like to be left alone while I wander and peruse and I want full attention when I'm ready to make decisions and that's what I got. I felt like I made a new friend with great closet full of treasures. If I lived closer I'd shop here often and am sure to make it part of my Seattle routine whenever I am in town. read more

small boutique of artful clothing and a few accessories. i bought two natural fiber pieces that were nicely distinctive, organic . . . . a nice find. Downtown near convention center, street level. if i lived locally, this shop would be my secret. read more

Simple Life - Simple Life 201 Pine 19801 - Women's Clothing Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Love this store! They have a wide selection of styles/fabrics, a good range of price points, friendly staff, a great (!!!) sale rack, and just great clothes!! They also have a small selection for accessories. I love shopping here, and knowing that I'm not going to walk out into the street and come face-to-face with someone else wearing the same thing I'm wearing (as with big-box retailers). My one "gripe" would've the difficulty getting the fitting room drapes closed enough... they could be a little wider so customers don't feel people can see in the cracks. But it's definitely not so bad that it becomes a deal breaker. read more

I wanted to share a recent experience I had at Simple Life. For background/context, I am new to Seattle (moved from DC/Denver to Seattle 5 months ago). I am a boutique-shopper and was happy to stumble upon Simple Life this past Sunday (23 Sept). I found a "jacket" on the sale rack that I really liked. The price tag was confusing: 1) The hand-written sale price was $127.99 and also had a 50% off dot; 2) I assumed the actual cost was 50% off of the $127.99; 3) I asked the Sales Associate to confirm the actual price and she said "it's 50% off the regular price;" 4) Confused -- I went back to check the sale sign and there was no stated reference to the percentage off being applied to only the regular price. I communicated this to the Sales Associate and she said: "that's what it is." 5) We went back and forth about how the sale/price tag was misleading. I also thought and in some ways expected that she would understand how the price was misleading and give me the benefit of the sale as a new customer. She did not. 6) I also asked whether she could call someone else to discuss the price discrepancy and she flatly said: "no." At that point, I was not only disappointed but just felt that I was not heard as a Customer. Given that this was my first experience at Simple Life, I am NOT inclined to return. Hope you will use my experience and subsequent review to provide more accurate signage for others who patronage your boutique. read more

Love Flax and Chalet but like another review, we were not greeted or acknowledged. Granted, they were late in opening the store and went about setting up but afterwards, a "hello, how are you doing?" would have been nice. read more

If you like texture and floaty grown up hippie clothes, this is your spot. It's pricey, but everything is well made. They have an email list and will send you sale notices and sometimes coupons. The staff are really knowledgeable ( no, that won't shrink is a statement you can trust) and not at all in your business unless you ask. I'm saving up for scarves and sweaters, but this is the only spot in Seattle where I've found pants that actually fit me, so those I get to buy (at least when there's a sale and I drag the boy along to validate). read more

Stopped in because of a basket of scarves in the window. Beautiful hand-made scarves from all over the world for good prices can be found here! I found the perfect silk scarf from Thailand while my mother found a hand woven beauty from India. We will both be back! The sales-woman was also very helpful and friendly! read more

The same thing happened to my company.... The owner agreed to pay and never did. Shame on you Simple Life! Shame on you!

I've been shopping at Simple Life (Passport)for the past 15 years. I've come to realize that just about everything I own from my Nomad pants, to Fat Hat tops, Beyond Threads coat, Baggallini purses in every color, Two Dog yoga pants, Bryn Walker sweaters, and my favorite of favorites: Asian Eye scarves ALL come from Simple LIfe. Kathy, has been like a personnel shopper for me, helping to co-ordinate outfits and point out new arrivals. She always remembers what I like from previous visits. There is no other store like it in Seattle where you get so much attention and it is always fun to shop there. I often get compliments on my clothing and when asked where I shop, I always say: Simple Life, on the corner of 2nd and Pine across from the Rack! Thank you for being there all these years, I simply don't know what I would do without you. read more

What attracted me was the $20 clear bubble umbrellas on display. $20 is actually very reasonable for a bubble umbrella. I've seen them more in Vancouver. Of course being Seattle it is important to have some awesome rain gear. The rest of the shop had awesome clothes, however, a little out of my fashion and price range. The lady at the counter was really nice. read more

Excellent service and excellent clothes. They are so comfortable and excellent quality. Had a wonderful shopping experience. The staff was so helpful and they made the experience fun as they helped pick out styles for me according to my lifestyle and taste. Will be returning for the Spring/Summer season. read more

Really nice merchandise. However, they do NOT honor requests to be removed from their email lists. I've stopped patronizing them because my repeated requests have been ignored. read more

Zach is great such a big help!! Such great souvenirs! Got a nice t shirt that will last a life time!

We would have loved it if the girl working there could have stopped looking online for weddings dresses for 5 minutes and helped us. We might have even bought something. read more

The buyer has a great eye for interesting and easy to live with textiles, the clothes are great for travel, and stuff you bought last year looks great with stuff they're selling this year. I love shopping at this store, and I hate shopping. I have found the staff to be helpful without being intrusive, and honest (and funny) when asked for opinions. read more

I love this women's clothing boutique! I live in NY and every time I have a business trip to Seattle, I make every effort to visit Simple Life and nearly always go away with a purchase. They carry stylish, unique, comfortable clothing. The people that work there are friendly and helpful. It's always a highlight of my visit. read more

Love this store! Wish it were my closet, and these people were my friends. Staff is chill and non-judgmental. No pretense. Accepting and down-to-earth, like the clothes they sell. Very helpful and attentive, but never overbearing. Willing to share creative insights and ideas to help you mix/match, but not personally invested in your decisions. You'll leave well-dressed and comfy! read more

Visiting Seattle for the first time and it was love at first sight when I walked past the window of this shop. I live in a small town with little access to interesting clothing and I had a blissful hour trying on everything in sight. The service was wonderful with lots of good, candid advice on what worked and what didn't. I ended up with enough wonderful clothing to fill the extra suitcase I had brought to Seattle just in case. I wish I lived somewhere nearby, but I know somehow I will find my way back to Simple Life. Thank you! read more

i just got back from this wonderful store and wanted to review while the experience was fresh. Kemba was the sales person that helped me. She was very friendly, saying hello as soon as I walked in the door. While I was in the dressing room she brought me sizes and also came up with ideas. She wasn't pushy at all, just very attentive. I'm sorry Tree H. had a bad experience, she probably won't go back and that's a shame because this is a very nice store. I loved the accessories too, so many beautiful scarves to chose from. The quality is above normal, I bought all different brands, all made in different countries. The knit hats and fingerless gloves were really nice. There is a big sale area too and a nice place to sit comfortably if you are waiting for someone to shop. While I was there several people came in, some bought and all were treated well. I really dislike the department store experience where no one cares, this store cares...and it shows. I was there for a long time and bought 8 items. You get a $25 credit for each $500 spent. They keep it in the computer and it will be available the next time you shop. I will definitely go back. read more

I've shopped here a few times over the years as my office isn't too far away. My experience there today was one I just had to share. I purchased a purse several weeks ago, but since it was a bright spring/summer color, I set it aside in the shopping bag to wait for the right weather/season to arrive. When I pulled it out over the weekend and snipped off the tags to start using it, I saw that one of the metal grommets on the bag was missing. It was a $100 bag, and I was sorely disappointed. Took it back to the store today after checking the manufacturer's website for warranty info (1 year, but only accepted returns if you bought it online directly from them; otherwise, return it to your retailer) and received a total refund without issue. It was well after their stated return period, and even after the "return for store credit" had passed, but they were completely accommodating and apologized several times for my inconvenience and disappointment. Hats off to a small business with great customer service! read more
