Reiss

Incredible designs & even better service!

by Trinhw

I stumbled upon Reiss entirely by accident, my family were visiting me, (their long lost daughter in L.A.) and I thought a trip to paparazzi central aka Robertson Blvd was in order! While no celebrities were found, we did find something even better:

I have to say if I hadn't heard about Reiss I would have no idea they were there! Their minimal facade is remarkably unobtrusive sandwiched between D&G and Ralph Lauren. Suffice to say I now know why they don't feel the need to telegraph their presence.

From the moment I walked in to the store I didn't feel the same discomfort as I do walking in to other high end stores, the staff were incredibly polite, friendly and remarkably helpful instead of pushy! They were eager to point out where the best bargains were to be found and explained which items would look good on me, and which would not look so good!

To cut a long story short myself and my mom walked out with some amazing new outfits, and my dad (who never shops...and I mean NEVER) even found himself a sweater!

Reiss, where have you been all my life? I love you! and I will be back!

• Pros: Design, Prices, Service, Sale Discounts

Chic UK style & outstanding service

by marpop

I love this store because the style is super chic, modern & understated w/just the right amount of embellishment. They have belts (average price is around $75), fabulous trousers that just fall perfectly and silk tops in versatile colors that are seasonal yet can be worn year-round (greys, ecru, rose, banana yellow). I also love the layout of the store with its contoured wall of beads (or shells or whatever they are) and the second-tier back area with the fitting room. The mens selection is just as big as the womens but I did notice most of the mens cuts are pretty slim (it's a London-based brand, after all). Think of this store as a step 1/2 above H&M w/ prices to match. Oh, and the sales people are so friendly, it's great!

• Pros: clothes, setting, service
• Cons: parking is a hassle
