I love Anthropologie, but I'm tired of sales associates assuming you can't afford to shop here…read more Last week, I was looking for a particular item and the sales associate kept saying go check out the sales rack. Almost as if the summer outfit I was looking for couldn't be found in the main area. When we couldn't find what I was looking for, she goes, you can try SHEIN. Like, what? Super weird interaction. I wouldn't make much of it, but the constant mention of sales section and avoiding looking elsewhere irritated me. I'll drive to Pittsburgh to avoid this type of interaction.

I have to be honest. I tend not to shop at many women's boutiques because I never feel the clothes are inclusive. I'm not a 5 foot tall size 0 looking for a $200 crop top, which is almost always what the inventory feels like. I nearly passed out when I came across sweaters and tunics that were sized to fit real people and ended up purchasing a flattering geometric knit sweater with a cute hood that I can't wait to wear (if it ever becomes fall). I love that the clothes here are real. They have a lovely selection of jewelry, homewares, cards, small gifts and other stationary that were unique and simply darling. It was too tempting to buy 1000 things for myself. I will absolutely return here the next time I need a gift for someone! But don't get me wrong, I did purchase an amethyst chunk bracelet I have zero regrets about. :) As I was checking out, I met the owner, who was lovely. I also really appreciated that while I was shopping, no one followed me around asking me if I liked XYZ. That's a pushy sales technique that just leaves me not wanting to return, and I'm so happy they don't do that. Love!

I came to Cleveland without a jacket and for some reason Google told me that the store closed at 7pm, so at 6:45pm (45 minutes after the store closed), I banged on the glass, and I was greeted with a smile and welcomed inside. The boutique is incredible! I wish we had one like it in Baltimore because I would be there all of the time. They have adorable clothes-- from leggings to dresses to jackets and sweaters. And the price point on a lot of the clothes make them affordable which is awesome. In some stores, you pick up a jacket and pay $400+, but here, you can get adorable jackets for 1/4 of that! Stop by here (before 6pm)-- you won't be sorry!

The store is beautifully laid out and has a bright, welcoming atmosphere. The gals working were very friendly and offered me coffee, tea or water. Thread carries several Ohio clothing designers as well as more high-end national designers. While I didn't focus heavily on the clothing, I was able to find the cutest set of travel cosmetic cases that were different sizes and all folded into each other. Each one had a noun like "wanderlust" or "nomad" with a dictionary-style definition. It was reasonably priced and they gift wrapped it beautifully! While checking out, they also offered to sign me up for their free rewards program. If you fancy yourself a boutique shopper or enjoy their clothing/jewelry selection its definitely worth signing up for. Overall, I think Thread is a nice addition to the shopping in Pinecrest!

The store contains mix of brands starting from local designers ending with higher end designers.

Audrey, the owner, is so sweet and helpful, and she really knows her merchandise!

She really stands by what she sells, and cares more about you being happy with your purchase and thus coming back, than just making a sale. This is also a great place to get gifts!

They carry some great lines and the staff has been very helpful. I am a challenging fit (size 10 top, size 14 bottom) and they manage to find me items that are both beautiful and flattering--it's not only for skinny girls (though they have plenty for them too.) And while the clothes aren't cheap (though there are bargains to be had during seasonal sales,) they have a nice selection of accessories--fashion jewelry, scarves, etc.--that are very reasonable.

This shop is the equivalent of a visual feast. The boutique is really overwhelming, but in a good way. All the clothes are very bohemian/stylish and there are so many racks to go through, you could literally spend hours in here. They have a fantastic selection of flowing sweaters, ponchos and other capes that could easily make me feel like I live in California. The sales associates are really helpful, and they can help you navigate the racks upon racks. What I love about this boutique is the jewelry selection. Their unique necklaces, artistic agate pieces and costume jewelry are just downright fun. The prices are fair for the larger, chunkier pieces. This section could be really dangerous for me...when it comes to jewelry, I love weird stuff. This selection fits the bill. Overall, this place is definitely worth a look for youthful, fun jewelry and women's clothing.

I have a lot of them and I'm always looking for a new, fun brand. I had stumbled across a gorgeous blue Linea Pelle bag online that I just had to have for Christmas. Because I had no experience with that brand - I wanted to check it out in person to see what the color and leather were really like. None of the big mall stores carried it, so when I saw that it was carried at Kilgore Trout I felt really excited! And they carried Botkier! I'm sold! The girl working the handbag section was really sweet with great customer service and I felt like I would maybe be coming back to purchase a bag for Christmas. That is, until we stepped into the men's wear section for my husband to look around and the sale's guy from that side literally said to us "You guys just trying to get out of the cold?" as he ate his lunch. What!? No. We're not trying to "get out of the cold." We're trying to shop at your store d-bag. I'm sorry if we don't look like we want to buy $400 t-shirts, but ya know, there really were items that we were going to purchase! I was really trying to Shop Local for some of our big ticket items, but I'm going to be ordering this one online. =(

Every member of the staff is friendly and extremely helpful. It is especially beneficial if, over time, you work with the same consultant, who can add a personal touch after they get a feel for your own preferences and what you have and don't have in your wardrobe. I've also come to really appreciate their eye for perfection and not simply settling for a "pretty good" or even "very good" fit when additional adjustments can be made. I would put the level of service and tailoring right up there with (if not higher than) the highly-regarded Bergdorf Goodman Men's store in New York. Why only 4 of 5 stars? It may be an unfair comparison, but, in the end, their available selection can't compare with the much bigger stores.
