I have walked by this store several times but never went in. Mostly it was because I couldn't…read morefigure out (based on the displays) who this store caters to age wise. But recently I walked by and saw a really nice party dress...perfect for the holiday season. I was in a rush though so I noted the dress and came back about a week later on a weekend. The dress was no longer on display but I found it easily enough on the rack. They had a few sizes left and thankfully one that looked like it would fit. No sooner did I have the dress in hand, did a sales woman offer to start a fitting room for me. A little pushy but after that she didn't bother me so I can't complain. I quickly glanced around the store. There was a lot going on and most of the styles I saw weren't my thing. I think they cater to a slightly older crowd (late 40's/50's +) (they did have a cruise wear section). They also have stuff that I'd consider to be a little more whimsical/unique in design which isn't my personal preference but I could picture some women I know who would love the clothes there. The dress fit perfectly (yay for in-change-room mirrors) and I made the purchase...at just a little over $100 it was a good deal on a party dress in my opinion. I'd recommend shopping at this store on the weekends as it always looks a bit busy during weekdays. Also, during the week they have live mannequins stationed at the door. They creep me out a little bit but others may not mind :)

I was trying to make an exchange which will now become a return and I WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN.

It's rare to see this many crystal encrusted items in one place, so for that alone, it was worth the trip for me. They pack a pretty good variety of items into this petite shop. If I had to guess, the target market is cruise or Vegas bound 60+. But since nobody adheres to style rules anymore, that doesn't mean it's not worth a look. I bought a blingy wristlet for carrying my phone and a fab rhinestone belt. Staff was friendly and tried to be helpful. Some of the price points seemed high for the polyester stuff or some of the graphic oversized t's. Touches I loved: the gorgeous handmade cards, the little rhinestone on the business card, and learning they do weekly online fashion shows. You GO, girls!

Now, I'm no fashion expert over here, but I do know when something is over priced... and Crabapple…read moreClothing is far too expensive for any sane person to purchase. I browsed around in here for about 15 minutes before I finally realized everything was out of my budget. I couldn't find one piece of clothing for under $100. Okay, that's a lie. I think there was a hat for around $50. But still. I didn't even find the clothes in this store to be that nice. Everything seemed a little outdated or at least not very modern. To each their own, I suppose. It's been a while since I've been stalked and eye-balled by salespeople when I'm perusing a store, but sure enough, it happened here. One of the ladies followed not two feet behind me the entire time, watching what I was doing, but never offering a hand. I mean, I may not look like I'm 30 years old, but I certainly don't look like a teenager ready to shoplift whatever I can fit into my purse. I was extremely insulted and definitely uncomfortable while shopping here. One cool thing about this place is that they do in-house tailoring to all their clothes. You can't bring something from a different store and have it altered, but they'll change any article of clothes you buy from their store. That sets them apart from most other clothing stores. If you're going to have a look in here, make sure you check out their secret lower level. Okay, it's not really a secret since anyone can go in here, but it's somewhat hidden behind racks of clothes. There's actually a whole separate section to this place that seems like it could be a totally different store. And yes, the aforementioned salesperson followed me down there too. So, to sum up: too expensive, not my style, un-trusting and not very discreet salespeople. Not my forte.

I had spotted some shoes in the window at Crabapple that caught my attention. This place is…read moredeceivingly large! I automatically felt that the kind of clothing carried here was not my style or age group. I browsed the jewellery displays for some earrings, there is a lot of displays around the store, most earrings went for $140. I found some "Hollywood" accessories, like invisible tape, tag tamers and commando liners. All of these went for $20 or so, which is over priced for sure. I looked at the shoes I was interested in initially, but looking at them in person and the price, I wasn't so interested anymore. I browsed around a bit more. I found a great leather belt, for $130, eep. I did find some clothing pieces that were very beautiful, so I will admit that they carry things for women of different ages. This place is expensive, but they have a huge stock of clothing and accessories, all top of the line. It is somewhere to check out if you have money to burn, very quickly.

Went on holidays and after having worn the bathing suit twice noticed the top fabric was fraying and pilling. Returned to the store after our holidays and showed an older lady, owner, I believe, the defective bathing suit. She was abusive, rude, and condescending, insinuating I was at fault. The bathing suit was not inexpensive and I was not interested in getting the same brand replacement top as I was worried the same thing would occur as soon as I swam again. This woman told me after I relayed my concerns, if it did happen again they would not stand behind their merchandise. This woman left me no other alternative and told me," I should not shop there if I could not afford it and told me they do not like customers like me. Said they do not warranty anything in the store. She was very very abusive in front of a number of customers, shouting at me as I left the store. Truly unbelievable, I will not return.

From a distance of about 10 metres out front you can…read moresmell this store...its crazy...the smell of mens and women colognes...I found it a bit sickening. This store is located on the ground floor of the Chinook expansion. These stores are pretty much the same all over the world. Once you go in, its dark and moodily lit. Its like you are in a sexy living room filled with oversize pictures of attractive people ( the kind I would never have the courage to date) while you are in this sexy living room ignore the piles of clothes everywhere. There are also a series of little rooms everywhere with clothing tucked away here and there. When I was in today,they had some really good sales on. Even on sale, their clothes are not cheap, but I have to say that the quality is excellent. Abercrombie and Fitch is not the place I would shop for all my clothes ( mainly becuause I a cant afford it)but i am glad that they are here in Calgary now.

This place is awesome!…read more I actually had no idea it even existed, until we drove by after a delicious lunch at Holy Smoke. We decided to pop in as I was looking for a Halloween costume, and were greeted at the door right away. The staff let us know the deal - all the books in the back are full of the costumes they carry, so you write down the number and they will bring it up for you to try on. Cool! We browsed the large selection of accessories, masks, wigs, shoes, and more - then finally hit up the back area to check out the costumes. They have EVERYTHING! Although I felt that some costumes were way too expensive, the variety was awesome. You will definitely find what you're looking for here. The place was busy but it didn't feel chaotic or unorganized, and there was plenty of staff milling around ready to help. Although I didn't end up purchasing anything here, I will definitely visit again in the future!

worthepenny page rates this shop at 1.3/5 (I should have done a little more research)…read more Trying to create The Darkness from Legend the movie. I ordered what looked to be an adequate nose and chin from their website, to be delivered. Despite the quick delivery, the product that arrived was distinctly different than the images from their website. While I agree that distributors and, in this case, vendors touch up their products or images to better present what the final look should be, there is no way I could get a professional to make the item I received look like the one they presented. I promptly requested a refund, which they flat out declined. My recommendation is that if you choose to purchase from this company in Calgary, AB, that you attend their store. Buying from their website is a risk not worth taking. You'd be better off buying from Amazon, because their return policy is criminal. Misrepresenting dollar store items as quality props is fraudulent.

Espy is mostly a women's clothing store, but if you're into denim, they have a wide selection on the men's side. I found store staff to be funky, friendly, fun, and helpful, offering as much personal space as I needed to contemplate any possible purchases. They also offer "closet intervention" services, which considering my casual (and sometimes baggy and color-bending) clothing choices, would most welcome. But only under Gayle's supervision. :)

I bought them last week using a groupon I'd purchased months ago. Always love going in there to see the new stuff as I'm not really a "fashion" guy but really appreciate their help. I'm not always sure what will look good on me based on how it looks on the rack. Megan and Adam are always really helpful and I end up with stuff that I really like. This past spring I called Megan to tell her I was heading to Paris and was having trouble finding a wool pea coat. She told me that they had just been in London and she put her boyfriend in a 7diamonds coat that looked great. She showed me the pictures on the website, ordered it in and I had it in my hands 3 days later. Now that's service. Espy definitely isn't the cheapest place in town but I'd gladly spend my money on quality things that I really like vs cheaping out on just ok ish stuff that I end up not wearing. I can usually expect to go in there looking for one thing but finding others too. Today I was just going to pick up the hemmed jeans but ended up leaving with a new pair of Steve Madden shoes. Collateral damage of the best kind ;-)
