I have been to this store a number of times. I love the Longchamp brand - it's about effortless…read moreluxury. They make very durable and well made products, and the bags are unusually lightweight. They are very sophisticated in how they use technology to create bags (including leather bags) that are super stylish and practical at the same time for every day use - if there was a "workhorse" segment for luxury bags, this would be at the top. You don't have to baby your Longchamp bags, unlike those from other French luxury brands. They also keep their prices reasonable - it's definitely not cheap, but its nowhere near the outrageous crazy prices you would pay for an LV or Celine bag (i.e. those often charge 3 to 4 times the Longchamp prices, just to create more of a sense of exclusivity - the quality usually isn't better). I like to go in during the sales - best time to buy! That aside, the goal for me to go to this store is to peruse and check out their latest designs in leather products - you can buy the Longchamp nylon Pilage bags just about everywhere, but most places do not carry the leather bags. If you just want a nylon Pilage bag, which is also super durable and practical (esp for travel), you might as well go to a department store, where you can peruse the endless color choices forever without anyone bothering you - I bought my first Pilage bag years ago at a Nordstrom. This store carries the Pilage bags, but also the higher end leather bags, which are great for day to day use - they want to serve customers who use, or want to migrate from, nylon bags to the higher end leather products. After all, the goal of having a storefront in such an expensive location next to Hermes or LV, is not to just sell more nylon bags:) I find that my Longchamp leather bags get used constantly, whereas those from other French luxury brands tend to sit in the closet (because they are so heavy/ not as practical). I do agree with some of the reviews that the French lady managing the store can come across a bit pushy - the previous manager who set up the DC store, an African American gentleman whose name I have forgotten, was extremely knowledgeable about every product and had a far more laid back approach, which I preferred - so one star off for that. However, she is very elegant and knows the products, so you can think of her as an enthusiastic great resource to help you find what you are looking for.

The 2 stars are for the selection of products not commonly found in department stores. The…read moreshopping experience is abysymal. There is an alpha sales person there who simply will not leave you alone to look in peace, even if you are dealing with another sales associate. She is pushy and tries to sell you things you don't want even when you come in looking for a specific item. And she follows you around as if she thinks you're going to grab something and walk out of the store with it. They tell you you can't pay without giving them all of your personal contact information, and you literally have to say that you'll just leave and order the item online if they don't let you tap your card. This review is based on 3 experiences over 2 years.

For as long as I can remember (& I am 61!) I have always loved Bottega Veneta products. My first…read morepurchase was in Italy. My amazing fiancé bought the most stunning wallet for me about 5 years ago & of course, I didn't take care of it as well as I should have and there is wear & tear around the edges but still very functional and beautiful. Took it to Tysons Galleria to get the snap fixed & I was treated like I was also going to spend $5000 there. The genuine hospitality and service- Second to none. Safety measures in place & felt very safe. You can bet that I would go there first to buy anything again. The new designs & colors are fabulous too! Side note : my EX husband bought me a beautiful Bottega purse for my 50th & I'm SURE it was with my money (no side story but bet on it) and when we divorced I didn't want anything in my house that reminded me of him. I put it on The Real Real & it sold right away. So it should bring joy to someone else!!

Who the HELL is wearing a super slim shirt? I have an outrageous dad bod, I need the "Classic" cut thankyoueverymuch. The store is deceiving, it's not that large. I walk in and I'm greeted by the salesman. When I make a left, the store abruptly ends. I see I'm in the slim and extra slim section. I make an about face and ask where the sales section is located. Now things turn for the sales guys, they went from helpful to not so helpful. They point to few items, I actually found a nice sweater at 40% off. Score one for team Bill S! I grab my sweater and ask about tee shirts. They point to the rack and all I see are the damn super slim shirts. My wife asks about different sizes, I feel like I'm getting the brush off from these dudes. They said something incoherent when I asked about my size. While my wife was looking for my size, the rack came apart! And she found my size! Sorry about that.. I pay for my items, of course I ask for a military discount which they gave to me. CT, I love ya but I'll continue to shop on line when you send me coupons.

Our instructor was very talented and skilled and she offered ALO essential peppermint oil which was a nice touch. For doing mat pilates for about 5 years, there were a few things that I had never tried before and that I can add into my daily routine. Alo yoga has everything set up for you and the flow is the only thing that could get in the way - you take your shoes off and then its like your bag and stuff are out there hanging out. Not that big of a deal. I hope that this continues to build and they add more space or a new building in Georgetown where they can use reformers.

They also have a yoga studio where you can take classes so that's cool if you're into yoga. Overall I don't have any complaints about the store, it's just not my cup of tea personally.
