The gentlemen working on the escalators seemed just as frustrated as the customers.

As I entered the store one store attendant greeted me and I quickly responded with a hello. While browsing the surrounding I noticed a second store attendant in my peripheral shuffling the clothes. I immediately knew what that signifies sadly. She slowly made her way over to me while to ask if I am finding everything. I responded that I am looking for a particular item, which she directed me to the specific location in the store. It saddens me that for my first visit to this establishment that came highly recommended and received that type of a reception. Unfortunately I will not be visiting ever again and will not be recommending anyone either because of this experience.

We had an event last week and my wife bought an accessory at the store. She realized that she actually did not need it and I attempted to return the product. The sales associate was down right nasty and condescending. She said under no circumstances are returns allowed. This day in age small shops need to be accommodating to there customers to stay in business. Secondly if they can't be accommodating they should at least try to be pleasant. Avoid this store.

They establish relationships with everyone who comes through their door.

You walk into this cozy space and can literally walk out with everything you need from head to toe, including accessories. It is extraordinary how Mary can offer such an array of items. La Moda is a delightful shopping experience, especially for those of us who hate large department stores and buying clothes online. I have been coming here for more years than I can count and have always been treated with respect. The staff are available to help if you want it and never try to push a sale. We are very lucky to have this sweet boutique in Fairfield. Small businesses run by women will always be the first stop for me!
