Poor products, Poor Service. "You get what you pay for" not true at Prada

by beverlyhillsprada at Citysearch

I'm not sure how great these guys are. They sold me $300 sunglasses that broke off the hinge months later with regular use and when I sent it in to them for repair, they never botherd sending it back. So, i'm not sure what that says for (A) the quality of their products or (B) their service.

Why do I mention the price? "You get what you pay for". Apparently, not at Prada.

• Pros: the name
• Cons: poor service, poor quality merchandise

Cutting-edge fashion inside Rodeo Drive's most progressive building.

by Contributor at Citysearch

In Short
The goods of the Italian clothing, footwear and accessories company play supporting roles in this architectural gem designed by Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren of OMA. There's no sign on the exterior, but with the width of its ground floor open to Rodeo Drive it's not exactly hiding. Moving from street to store requires crossing over subterranean display cases showing off sexy new arrivals.

The Goods
Luggage and women's shoes take up what first-floor space isn't dominated by the rise and run of the wave-like central staircase. The second story displays women's wear along a pocked green shell of a perimeter. The third floor (reached by a small, sidelined staircase) shows off men's shoes, suits and sportswear, as well as a panoramic view of Beverly Hills from behind a floor-to-ceiling plate-glass window that echoes the width of the ground-floor entrance.
