In addition to its namesake brand, the store carries apparel and streetwear from other Indianapolis companies. It was originally a pop-up but has now secured a three-year commitment at the location through a city initiative. The initiative was meant to promote Black-owned businesses at prominent locations across the city. The store carries T-shirts, hoodies, pants, and hats at various price points. It's nice to see some retail options in addition to all the food establishments on Mass Ave. Because of the high foot traffic, I hope Nap Or Nothing does well and showcase what Indy has to offer.

While on my lunch break I decided to put some extra time for my spot to browse for an item. I walked in and was immediately greeted and given a quick brief rundown of the store since it was my first time in. I was appreciative of the context as it made me be more intentional to enjoy the artwork, as it's all local. I was looking for something to be able to rock this summer and in the airport as I have several trips planned. Although Maxie was assisting another customer, it was nice to see him present and to still make a quick touch point with me. I found 2 great pieces and LOVED that the hat I got came with buttons. All in all...VISIT & SUPPORT this local business. Great things are happening and when you walk in, rather you're from Indy or not, it will feel like home My only suggestions: -invest in a few mirrors for customers to see the look -DONT STOP GOING!

I have been shopping regularly over the past year at 8Fifteen. I could go on and on about all the…read morebrands and designers they carry, but what I'm most impressed by is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Shopping 8fifteen is a delight. They aren't pushy, but offer excellent knowledge on the clothes and expertise in styling. I've watched them patiently and skillfully help customers that are trying on clothes... and I have personally benefited from their help when I've selected some of my favorite sneakers!! (They regularly carry VEJA and Golden Goose) I love their jewelry and candles, too. I know that whatever I choose to purchase from a 8FIFTEEN, it's going to be excellent quality. From my shopping experience here, I happen to know that this locally owned boutique also supports several local nonprofits in the community. I'll be a customer for life.

On my first visit I purchased over $200 worth of goods. Upon my arrival home I was excited to put to work a leather bound water bottle. To my disappointment, the great flood was coming out of the bottom of the bottle. Understanding that things happen, I call the next day and was greeted with understanding and it eagerness to fix the product. I was told it was going to be a two week turnaround and unfortunately I was going to be leaving out of town for two months. Upon my arrival back to the store.... I had asked if I could exchange the water bottle for other items in the store, but because the manager was not on location one of the service team members called her. This woman is truly the worst person I have ever talked to on the telephone!!!!!!! She was not willing to exchange the product, she was not willing to do a refund while I was in the store and she had mentioned that she wouldn't be there until Tuesday of the following week where she wouldn't be able to do anything until then. So gracefully, I told her I would pay for the items in cash that I had picked out while I was in there and would she be able to do a refund or a credit on Tuesday when she comes in? She angrily and aggressively replied no! I can repair the product and you can come pick it up when you return home in two months. I will never be returning to the store again!!! I don't care how nice your stuff looks. If you sell somebody a defective product and you have a returning client you should attend to their needs and wants to ensure that they remain a return client. Shame! If I were the owners of that business I'd give her the fucking boot as fast as possible!!

I rarely leave bad reviews, but the customer service at this boutique was awful. I stopped in with…read morefriends and found a few items I liked, but the checkout process ruined the entire experience. The cashier initially ignored me to talk to her friend. When I paid, her first comment was along the lines of how "barely anyone pays with cash anymore." Already, the vibe was off. Then, she asked where I was from. After I informed her I grew up in the local area, she immediately started rambling about her neighbors from India. It was completely inappropriate, micro-aggressive, and made me wonder if she subjects all people of color to this kind of treatment. To make matters worse, I had to return to the store because I was shorted an item due to a system error. The store was nearly empty, but I could immediately tell she was heated and just wanted me gone. I brought an item to exchange and asked about stock for a few others, which is a standard request for a store employee. Instead of helping, her tone got meaner and her voice grew so loud that it felt like I was being reprimanded just for asking questions. She literally started yelling at me. I could see the hate in her eyes, and it took everything in me not to react disrespectfully back to her. Out of pure exhaustion, I gave up and only exchanged half the value of my item. This was hands-down the worst shopping experience I've ever had. If you're looking for similar items but prefer a classy environment where the staff actually welcomes you, I highly recommend going to Charles Mayer & Company instead.

Be Bon Vivant is a still-undiscovered gem sandwiched between The Jazz Kitchen and Yats on College…read more They've been open since May, but a recent visit proved the colorful store still empty, save for owner Barbie Turner's voice chatting on the phone with a vendor. Bon Vivant specializes in girly accessories for the home and body. Outside, floral club covers are on sale at 30 percent off; inside, myriad motley treasures--bright yellow room dividers, zipper and strap-happy purses, various designer dishwashing soaps, bar soaps and lotions--unfold on shelves. My favorite from the latter genre includes Earthworks, a line of bathstuffs that has been featured in countless magazines. No wonder: the scents are strong but soft; ephemeral but enduring. Try the almond bath truffles. Don't forget the jewelry and local art. Large, swirly paintings in the style of modern Picasso dot a few walls. Pick up a pamphlet for Barbie's catering company, Sweet Tea, on your way out.

The store proceeds go to support those in need in our community by providing nutritious foods to people who need it. This a St Vincent de Paul thrift store. I shop in here about every 6 weeks and they put out new inventory often. As with every thrift store you will not always find something you like. They have men's and women's clothes, dishes, craft items, home decor, and furniture. Their selection of furniture is usually very nice and at reasonable prices. If you need help with anything there is always someone around to help you. They also carry glass items for the kitchen as well as plates, dinnerware, utensils. I found all of the dishes for my daughter's wedding here. Stop in and support your community. They also have a rewards program you can join so the every spend you get a little back for the next trip.

The store definitely smelled stale, but some of the items were clearly new. The style of clothing was outdated, in my opinion, but they did have a nice selection of shoes. The main issue that I had was that the used, non-designer shoes were overpriced. I didn't see anything under $29.90. The staff didn't acknowledge us on our way in or on our way out. Would not recommend.

I literally just walked out of that place, having spent more than $60, and the old guy behind the counter was as rude as can be. I walked in, and I get that he had customers (a trendy, older couple, who seemed to have some change in their collective pocket), but my initial issue was that he barely even acknowledged my presence, and when he did, his tone went from pleasant to seemingly annoyed (not an exaggeration). So, I'm looking around the store, and I see a couple of things I liked, and the store clerk is just fully engaged with the couple and they're having what sounds like a nice conversation. As this is going on, I move to the other part of the store, and in doing so I walked past the clerk who was posted behind the register. As I passed him, in a very different tone, "let me know if you need any help." I immediately thought to myself, "wtf is this guy's problem?" Brushing it off, I continued shopping. Once ready to check out, I approached the counter where the clerk was just chatting it up with this couple, who had all ready made their purchase, so i am kept waiting while this conversation concludes. After they finally left, I then laid my items on the counter and you could have heard a pin drop.. not a word from the clerk. And then when he finally does speak, he's got that same tone again. Now, I know that I did not come in this store, causing anything or doing anything that would merit being treated like that. I'm guessing he assumed I didn't have money or something. I don't know, I speculate, of course, as I have no idea what goes on in the minds of crazy people. Even after spending more than sixty dollars, I didn't even get a thank you, he dropped my receipt in the bag as though were a piece of trash. Sorry to be so long about this, but things like this really irritate me. Who knows what his problem is? But if he treats people like that that are spending money at his store, then you all should avoid it, i know, I certainly won't be back, and I will be spreading the word.

I bought a rather expensive blouse, took it home (I live on the west coast), and several weeks later I finally took of the tags and put on the blouse, only to discover a flaw in the fabric. I was very worried since it is a small boutique, but I called and they said to send it back and they would absolutely refund my money! They did not make me feel bad about it or question me in any way. THAT is good customer service. Since I am not around to shop often, or tell all my friends (since I don't live there), I'm spreading the word this way. They deserve some recognition for being a top notch place to find that "secret ingredient" outfit! And when I come back to visit, you can bet I will make time to shop there again.
