Such a fabulous and unique clothing boutique! I would buy the whole store if I could. The owner was spectacular and very attentive. She helped me pick a few bathing suits. It was such a fun experience having her bring me her custom pieces she designed and her colleagues were very helpful too. I can’t wait to go back and buy some dresses next

i’ve never seen someone more visibly angry when a customer decides not to buy something as this owner was; it’s extremely off-putting. very odd coming from a business owner, who should know better. every single review of her acting like a petulant child is true. no one will return if you berate all your customers, both in person and online. which is sad because the other workers are great. but i bet it would be so stressful working for her, because the shopping experience here alone is stressful enough. try to actually take constructive criticism and learn from what EVERYONE is trying to tell you or you’ll run your business into the ground.

My mother had a medical episode in the store. The gentleman who was the owner of the store kindly helped her as the one sales associate threatened to call the police. Little does this woman know my mother has a condition where she could seize. To have a sale associate so unempathteic working for your business is disgraceful. It's unfortunate but we will never shop there ever again unless the employees are better managed.

I have always admired their style, and until this year, I never noticed menswear. But this year, they feature some nice menswear, and I was excited to check them out.Let’s just say I was more excited to be there than they were to see me.The ladies who worked there pretty much ignored me. Tried as I might, I was not able to get them to pay me any attention or answer my questions about sizing. But a gentleman came to my rescue. The changing rooms were full, so he said it was OK to try the shirt on and put on the swim trunk over my shorts. It was going well until he was called away while helping me.Then the owner decided to pay attention to me, and she did not approve. She started scolding me about not trying the clothes in a changing room. When I tried to explain, she raised her voice even higher, then mumbled something under her breath.Did I walk into a feud? Am I, not the type of customer they want in there? I can only say that they did not talk to the other customers like they talked to me.Their designs may be upbeat and welcoming, but not their staff unless you are somebody they deem worthy.

First found this retro boutique in 2019 at their original location; thrilled to find their current expanded location. A full service boutique with honest to goodness customer service, their couture offerings range from XS-3X and actually flatter every figure! The employees will help you in the fitting rooms with everything from bringing additional sizes and styles to zipping and adjusting accessories. High quality fabric and designs, this is classic fashion meant to last a lifetime. Thank you Tara for your brilliant designs and Thomas for your amazing service.

Cute clothes. Nothing is tagged so when you ask for a price it's all a bit over priced (compared to other vintage brands like PUG, Vixen, etc). Sales girls were nice but people behind the barrier (yeah place has a weird barrier) were very foul tempered when we went in. Sizing in UK sizes (that's fine, I order from WKD, Colectiff, etc frequently) and when I told them what size I was in UK sizing (I'm a costumer I get the size differences) I was spoken to as a child. Total shame. I would have spent money here but not with that horrible customer service.

The responses to the low rated reviews that the owner gives should show everything about the way they treat their customers. There is a reason the store has 3.6 stars and it's due to such unprofessional ways of treating paying customer's. I now give this place the lowest of stars to my own experience. I won't support businesses that treat people for just being poeple badly and you shouldn't either. I had even bought twice from here before! Everyone in my group loved my new outfits so I decided to bring my friend back to the store so I could show her how cute it is and where I got them from. But the two people working in the store were entirely different people from the first two encounters, very unprofessional and rude towards us from the begining told them we were just browsing to see what we wanted to get. My friend grabbed a shirt to have me look at and the guy behind the counter yelled so aggressively "DO NOT TOUCH THAT! IT IS FULL SERVICE!" We were both so embarrassed not realizing, or seeing as they don't have signs that say not to touch the clothes. We then realized the only person who should be embarrassed was him for treating customers this way... so distasteful, it's 2023 not the 1950s still, people just don't treat customers that way and get away with it these days. Im glad my friend just had us leave after he yelled, otherwise I would have bought more! To say the least sadly I wouldn't be bringing anybody else here, including myself. Unless maybe I want to get yelled at again.

Tara was great at finding something unique that suited me … I wore a pencil dress she designed for a wedding Saturday along with shoes imported from Spain from her shop, and red lipstick she had me try on. It was a fun night and I gave people something unique in style to look at. Everybody loved the shoes the best! ??❤️

An experience me and my husband won’t soon forget. I came in because I cannot resist vintage fashion. It was only us in the store and I was like a kid in a candy shop. The owner noticed me looking around and asked what was catching my eye. I mentioned that I was looking for something for my best friend’s wedding in June. The full experience then began. I was guided to some amazing pantsuits and shoes and lipstick and the second outfit…gorgeous. I rarely feel just gorgeous, even with barely any makeup on and my hair a disaster, but I felt so good! They could tell my size by eyeing me and the outfits fit like butter. That’s a better track record than I have shopping, so kudos there. :) We even found a complimenting shirt for my reluctant husband who now has a favorite shirt.The energy and vibes and attention was at first a lot for me (all very positive!) but that’s only because I am an introvert with social anxiety and am not used to attention at shops. But I was surround by love and passion and joy and support and left with something amazing. If I could shop here everyday, I would. ??

Outstanding customer experience. I got two Camp Shirts as birthday gifts from my daughter from here (retro bowling shirts, Charlie Sheen type). Unfortunately they were just a little tighter on me than I would have preferred. My daughter must think I'm still in my clubbing days, ha. Took them in to see if I could exchange for larger size. The two folks on duty not only greeted me like royalty when I arrived, but went "above and beyond" to ensure my expectations were met. Superior customer service. And, OMG, you have to see the selection of unique attire and accessories offered (mostly female related though) One of a kind...beautiful. Taking my wife and daughters there for sure. To the 2 folks who assisted me...Big Hug and Kiss and Thank You !!!

A friend accidentally knocked over a mannequin in the store, a mistake she apologized for, and the overreaction of the store owner was so distasteful and unprofessional that it made me lose any interest in shopping there.Updated to respond to owner’s response: I just read the other reviews below. Your shop gets 3.6 stars. The low stars come from poor customer service. You could have amazing products but if your attitude is bad, which it is, you won’t win people over. We were not running. We were a group of girls excited to see fun clothing for a range of sizes. We may have been loud and boisterous, but if you confuse that with running, I don’t know what to tell you. Get a grip.

The Owner of this boutique is CRAZY !!!! RUDE!!! CONDESCENDING !! AND her original vintage designs are all FAKE! Not only was I a resident of Asbury Park for over 9 years I also have a fashion degree and am no stranger to vintage clothing. The customer service is nothing short of abrasive and demeaning. I am extreemly familiar with the community of AP and how it receives everyone ! This store does not check the box in any of theses areas. I would not spend a dime on any of her items , cosmetics or accessories ! BEWARE LADIES!
