“The Valley Pick is one of my favorite shops in the Monterey County! Not only is the owner a super close friend of mine, she has a great vision of what shopping local looks like! The store is full of unique items that are all locally and handmade. Some of my favorite items sold at The Valley Pick are the earrings, hats, and jeans! Definitely recommend checking the shop out if in the Carmel area!”
“My partner and I are on vacation in California, and we stopped in Carmel for a couple of days.
We went in to look at shoes because I am a runner, and Míchel attended us, and he explained to me everything about the Hoka brand for running.
It's been a long time since I felt so comfortable in a store, how he enjoys doing his job and how I feel like running with his advice!!
Regards to these wonderful people. Anto&Fed.
I hope you return to Spain to enjoy it a lot too!”
“Last time I was there it was long ago in my youth 1990. I worked at Allegros at the south end of The Barnyard. I bought some rare Birks and great socks. The store has a warm feeling and in 1990 the staff were great as I remember. Hi Shara!!!!”
“I have been shopping at Sylvie's for years. Having moved out of state a few years ago, my first stop for my visit back to Carmel was Sylvie's. She is such a delight, providing great service and fashion advice. Her clothes are top quality and truly unique fashion pieces that are long lasting. Shopping in Carmel is not complete without a visit to Sylvie's Unique Boutique.”
“Always love stopping at this place when I am in town. Beautiful pieces and all in excellent condition; many do not appear used. Owner is extremely helpful and I do not know how she manages the selection she has, it's amazing. I generally find something to buy, but never feel sales pressure.”
“Love Tommy Bahama and particularly the customer service at the Carmel store. It is the best by far and I have shopped at otherTB’s on Maui and the Big Island. The sales associate tracked down a top I wanted that showed “ sold out” on the internet. It was the LADT shirt of its kind and she really went the extra mile to find it for me. Much appreciated.”

San Carlos &, 6th Ave, Carmel-By-The-Sea“I had the pleasure of shopping at Augustinas recently and I cannot recommend them enough! I was looking for a dress for a wedding and had spent hours searching in different cities. Little did I know, the perfect dress was waiting for me at Augustinas! The staff were incredibly attentive and helped me find the right dress for my body frame. They had so many beautiful options to choose from and I felt like a princess trying them on. I left feeling so excited and happy with my purchase. Augustinas is now my go-to place for all things fashion and I can't wait to go back and see what else they have in store for me. Thank you, Augustinas, for providing such a wonderful shopping experience!”
“Honestly I'm not that big of a shopper anymore but love the vibe of this center. In particular how everything hovers around the main courtyard makes it quaint and inviting. I appreciate the various sitting areas for those who like to simply enjoy time and space but there are are plenty great shops around for those who love that part too. Wish there were more restaurants in this center but it's pretty small so I'm sure they have to divy up between dining/shopping/etc.”

Ocean Ave, Carmel-By-The-Sea“I tend to purchase James Perse clothing while traveling due to it’s practical and comfortable nature. I find that under packing allows for shopping at the destination. I found this comfortable, welcoming store and spent quite a bit of time looking around. Staff was friendly and informative. I found a fun collection of brands from which to choose and ended up selecting from their James Perse offerings. I was surprised to discover that this store is relatively new; it sure felt as if had been here in Carmel for years. I’ll certainly return when I next visit Carmel.Four years later:I stop by this store when visiting here annually. I usually find something for myself and a few pieces for my daughter because she is a smaller, more common, size. I find fun clothing that I don't see at stores near home and I'm pleased to be able to see and touch fabrics, avoiding the disappointment I've experienced when purchasing on line. I do not treasure being bombarded by overbearing sales staff and this place is comfortable, allowing me to explore while they answer questions regarding brand sizing. Among favorites items at this store are the Carbon brand tee shirts which, amazingly, are long enough for my 6'7" husband. Each visit we are able to purchase a couple new colors. The fabric is substantial and they wash well.”
“Imagine your best shopping experience then multiply it by 100 times, if you haven’t been here yet!
