Mint Julep

3.7(86 reviews)

For sure overpriced but sometimes you can get a bargain at the sale rack. Like many reviewers…read morealready said, the prices for some of these things are a little cray- no name brands for 250 made from a polyester blend? Peaaceee! Though if you're into Nanette, Milly, or Tibi you'll most likely enjoy Mint Julep- they really do have some great dresses if you're willing to put out the $$. I'm giving it an extra star due to the atmosphere- while small, I think the store is adorable. Honestly, this is the store that got me more into boutique shopping- which is something I never really did before. The place is organized well and somehow they manage to fit everything comfortably in their rather small space. It's definitely cute and I like the vibe shopping here. The baskets on the floor are cool too- you can find some pretty nice tops in there for a more reasonable price tag if you look. I came across a really nice three dot top that's definitely making its round of appearances since I bought it here. Also, they sell Spanx and premium denim!

Went into the store because it looked cute from the outside. the sales lady behind the desk asked…read moreif I was looking for anything in particular. I said I was browsing. Then she immediately told me I had to leave my tote bag by the side of the desk (out in the open.) I didn't want to do that because A I had just bought a new jacket across the street, which was in the tote bag. And B there's no way I am leaving my tote bag out in the open like that for someone to steal it the minute the sales person leaves the desk. Also treating your customers, the minute they walk in the door, like a criminal simply because they are holding a tote bag, which hello most people do today instead of using in store paper bags is not good customer service to say the least. And then telling them to just leave the tote bag sitting in the open unsecured is crazy. Would they pay for my new coat if someone stole it? I get that shoplifting is a problem but treating a potential customer with this broad brush approach isn't the solution. I've gone to many shops and stores and never encountered this policy. I may have bought something in there but I was so turned off by this rude and condescending approach that I just left. MUJI across the street never once asked me to leave my tote bag because they were afraid I might steal something. They were all super friendly and nice and even let me bring my tote bag in the dressing room after counting the number of items I was bringing in.

They carry a lot of fun pieces that are fabulous! This shop is literally by Havard station on Brattle st. I think you should go and form your own opinion these reviews are old as blue cheese. Happy shopping ladies !!!

Four stars for what they are: a reseller of moderately priced designer apparel. I was impressed to see some decent brands like Velvet and James Perse, and found the balance of solid separates to fluffy-collared dresses to be about right. The selection looks hit or miss but I can see myself walking away from this place with some good pieces every now and then. The no returns thing sealed the deal on my new black cardigan sweater dress thing: looks like we're stuck with each other! Meh.

I went into Susanna looking for something to wear on a first date with a guy that I really wanted to impress! I'm in my mid-20s so I was thinking something cute and sexy. They had so many options to choose from! They had a slew of tops and few dresses that were perfect for my date. Also, if you are into black tops, which I think most women are whether they admit it or not, they have a whole store full of them and all at great prices, especially for a girl on a budget. Another great thing about there store is the jewerly. So cute! I found a colorful beaded necklace to go with the black top I bought. They have a big variety at all price points. Their staff is also great. All very friendly and helpful. Ask for help and they really know their inventory. Never pushy and are very geniune about their customers looking their best! read more
