Sam Moon Trading Co.

For serious shoppers! Everytime I visit family, I must stop in and shop! Bags that can’t be beat and great clothes if you know how to shop. Better selection in store if you can go in person. My only complaint is that they are only in Texas.
Love your store!!!

OMG — how much fun is this place. Every shiny object you can imagine under one roof. You can spend hours here just looking around at all of the choices.

I first came here when my sister was in town. She loves this place, but not somewhere I would think a guy would shop at. To my surprise they do have guy stuff here. I managed to pick up a wallet and some readers here at a reasonable price.

I have a Sam Moon in San Antonio I go to, so I’m familiar with the business and that there may be a language barrier because Sam Moon is a Korean owned business and Korean people tend to work with stock and so forth. At the SA Sam Moon the language barrier would not stop someone from helping me. I went to the Sam Moon here today and wanted to speak Korean so badly to one stock person. I just wanted to curse him out. I was asking about seeing if there was another small red bag and trying to see if there was one that was not damaged and preferably unwrapped somewhere. When I talk to this guy and keep feeling at wrapped bags to demonstrate I want another red bag, he just says «No.» Doesn’t offer to check underneath or get another person to help, just says that and walks on. I tell him «You’re so helpful.» I go to check out and luckily get a flimsy 20% off for the defect of the purse and then go towards the exit. Wouldn’t you know that same stock worker’s eye dart to my shopping bag? I apparently stole my purchases sir, that’s right. F this place.

Ummmm lots of things to look at and huge variety of accessories… Only down fall is they DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS and there is no fitting rooms to try on clothes. Annnnnd at check out I asked about refund and I was told yes, but based on our language barrier I think we both misunderstood. Now I’m stuck with some items that don’t fit so great. Their receipts that they give you don’t ring up for what they actually are and very confusing. Their hours of operation aren’t very convenient. Would like shopping here more if they adjusted a few things. Thank you!

I remember when I was a teenager and if there was a special event coming up my mom would drive me an hour to the original Sam Moon off of Harry Hines. It was always totally worth the special trip and I always found something to match whatever I was there for. So Sam Moon has a special place in my heart I guess.
Sam Moon is pretty much the same it was 15 years ago except they have even more stuff and more stores! If you are looking for any sort of accessory they will have it! Sam Moon is a woman’s accessory heaven. I have seem many women freak out over this place. It is funny to watch the women in here too — they dig and dig through everything. You can seriously spend 3 hours in here and not see everything.
I love looking for clutch purses, cross body bags, wallets (men’s and women’s), scarves, earrings, watches, necklaces, jewelry sets and more earrings and more earrings. OK I love earrings and have quite a collection. I have an earring stand — turning rack thing that I bought at a different Sam Moon probably 6 years ago. Every girl that has seen this rack and my earring collection are instantly drooling and jealous. They always ask where I got it and I tell them — Sam Moon and explain to them the awesomeness that is Sam Moon.
I actually stopped in here the other day to look for a necklace earring set for my bridesmaids. I had been looking around but had not found anything within my price range. I have 8 bridesmaids, so I don’t want to spend a fortune. And of course Sam Moon had exactly what I was thinking of and totally within the amount I was looking to spend. There were so many choices and I was not in the mood to make decisions so I left without purchasing them, but I will be back to make my final decision soon before the big day. I did leave with a few pairs of earrings for myself and a coin purse on this visit.
So seriously if you or anyone you know is looking for any accessory and have not been here … this is the place. If you can not find something here you probably will not find anything at all.

Ohhhh lawwwd I love me some Sam Moon, y’all! The only place where you can buy earrings, belts and poopourri! I bought luggage here 3 years ago and it is still going strong!!! I have a lot of jewelry from here. Crazy pieces that I don’t want to pay a lot for. They all look great — none have turned green. I also have a few gold plated pieces that are still beautiful. I love gettin some cheap handbags here. Is it the most customer friendly place? No. But that’s kind of what I expect when I go into a place like Sam Moon.

If you want to spend your money on cheap stuff that won’t last long, you have found the place. They open at 9:30 Mon-​Sat, just FYI.

So much to see .lots of cute costume jewelry and designer purses. I bought the cutist boots there .i get lots of completements. They also have wigs, perfume and children stuff. Love this place

This place is great for *cheap* jewelry, purses, scarves, and sunglasses. They have some clothing and shoes there, but I’ve never priced them so I can’t reflect on their prices. The jewelry is definitely costume jewelry. This isn’t fancy stuff, but you can find cute stuff here for sure. I got a scarf here for $ 7. Really cute infinity scarf. I saw some sunglasses that were super cute for $ 5.99, and I got a reusable drink cup for $ 3.00 and a cute leopard print umbrella for about $ 9.00. Anyway, just trying to give an idea of prices. I wouldn’t suggest going to this place on the weekend because from my experience it is pure madness.

Stopped in for some simple earring backs which the Sam Moon ladies were very helpful in helping me find. Lots of bedazzled bags, UT gear, fake Yurman and Van Cleef jewelry, but also real gold and silver chains and some cute costume jewelry.
Only drawbacks for me were that prices seemed a little high for the quality and the fact that I tried to come in on Sunday and they were CLOSED. Who closes on Sundays besides Chik-​fil-​a? Oh, good Christian God-​fearing people. I should go to church more.

I knew I was going to the land of cheap crap, but I did not know I was going to the land of crap customer service! DO NOT BUY CLOTHES OR SHOES FROM HERE!!! Even though they have a return policy and I purchased a pair of shoes they would not take them back, they claimed that the shitty state that the shoes came in was my fault and was «wear and tear»
Just go to Ross or somewhere else cheap that still has a concept of customer service!

HONESTLY, I had hoped to find a lot more than I did.
I am an earring whore, so I thought this place would have to kick me out. It didn’t! But that’s because I didn’t find a single pair of earrings I really wanted! Neither did my almost 17 year old. I guess my level of pickiness speaks for itself, but damn, with wall to wall accessories, I just knew I was going to go ham on some new ear candy. Its okay. I came, I went & I saw Sam Moon, finally. LOL
If you have a young daughter, OMG, this is THE PLACE for all things hair accessories! I couldn’t help but wish we had one while walking the walls of bows!
This place has 7,000,000 purses and Ill be damned if I went in looking for earrings and walked out with a new purse, wallet and cosmetic bag! Sure did!
They have tons of hats, scarves, head wraps, bows, headbands, jewelry, shoes, some clothing, bags, luggage, lots of A&M, UT, Cowboys novelty items. Definitely a great place to keep on the list of places to hit up when you’re looking for a gift for someone.

When you walk in the first thing you will notice is the smell of tears from small Asian children wanting desperately to escape the sweatshop. But you will quickly be distracted by the sheer amount of gaudy accessories. And like a moth to a flame you will be drawn in. While I don’t like a lot of the stuff here, it is the place to go for a cheap accessory to complete an outfit or costume. And besides, who really knows what tears smell like anyway? It’s probably just the cheap pleather…

I’ve bought a few hair accessories for my daughters at Sam Moon before.
But today, I’m not sure I’ll be able to convince myself to EVER return. A female employee, presumably a manager type since she looked ‘all business’ walking around with papers in hand, going back and forth to the back room, DID NOT WASH her hands after using the rest room. We followed in right behind her (where she let the door slam on us instead of holding it but that’s fine) and were washing our hands at the rest room sink and watched her exit the stall and stride right out of the restroom and eventually back behind the counter.
Could not believe this — we were shocked. YUCK. No thanks Sam Moon if your employees show NO regard for their store’s cleanliness, hence the good health and well-​being of their customers.
She wore a purple flower hair accessory with her hair up.

Cheap stuff… They have some really junky stuff and some not-​so-​junky stuff. I got a pretty decent laptop sleeve here, a beautiful beaded formal purse and a cute wallet, but it’s mostly junky jewelry and junky purses. And some of their prices aren’t so great. Their sterling jewelry is OK.

Simplicity and subtlety aren’t really Sam Moon’s ‘thing.’ Understatement of the century.
I’ve seen pretty unpolished stone earrings in the lobes of several gals I just met who told me ‘Go to Sam Moon: they have a ton of really nice jewelry for nothing!‘
Did they confuse ‘really nice jewelry’ with rhinestonex9000 spliced with plastic wrapped tiaras cornered by Paris Hilton’s Can Can eau de skank topped with a life expectancy of two weeks?
I was generous with that estimation, folks. I get the familiar feeling Sam Moon is run by a large family from Alief TX. So. Yeah. If you’re looking for a new addition that will take you off the stripper stage and onto the catwalk? Check the ‘Wigs and Hairpieces’ department. Right next to ‘Kids Jewelry.‘
P. S. I think your scarves might be your only saving grace. Will report after further chastising, and maybe some research.

Wow this Sam Moon is better than the one in Frisco, TX. They have clothes and shoes here!
I absolutely love Sam Moon. No the jewelry isn’t Tiffany’s but who cares. Some of the items I have bought here have lasted me forever!
I love the selection of jewelry and purses. Take it for what it is though. It’s a COSTUME JEWELRY STORE! The quality is going to be Chinese made plastics and steel. They do have a small selection of sterling silver if you want the high end.
I will continue to go here no matter what lol!

I’ve never seen so much garbage in my entire life. The cheapest, most gaudy crap around, I think. Pleather as far as the eye can see.
It occurs to me that this would be a place at which The Golden Girls would spend a lot of time shopping. Remember how completely awful their wardrobe was?
I will say, though, that some of their clothing was really cute, though a tad pricey.
Purses EVERYWHERE, in every aisle, in every corner, intermixed with every other item, hanging from the walls, simultaneously in your peripheral and central vision, and damn near hanging from your rear-​view mirror by the time you leave. At Christmas time, Sam Moon could throw all million purses into a ball pit they borrowed from Chuck E Cheese up the way, open the front doors, and let the women dive in, smothering each other with naugahyde, and choking each other with costume necklaces to get that last flowery, Louis-​Vuitton-​on-​crack, Miami-​Beach-​on-​steroids handbag.
BUT, I found one I liked. One.
Some of the costume jewelry was cute, but the vast majority of it looked like shit I’d drape all over my Christmas tree. I think cats would enjoy playing with the jewelry, but it’s more expensive that a simple wadded-​up piece of paper, so I suggest you leave the jewelry on the shelf.
BUT, I found a necklace/​earring set I liked. Only problem was, when the counter girl was using the Extreme Magnet to take off the security device, the necklace itself got the major hots for Mr. Magnet. When she tried to remove it from the magnet’s hug, the necklace broke and completely fell apart. She went to some random wall of jewelry to fetch another, but that wall was not where I’d originally found the necklace. When she came back perplexed, I told her I’d run get another, but she insisted on getting it herself. I pointed to where I’d gotten it, and ten freaking minutes later, she finally found one.
So here I am with a new necklace, new earrings, and a new purse, after having implied that the vast majority of items in this store look like Elton John’s 1970s persona designed them. Am I a hypocrite, or what?

You have to take three trips to Sam Moon to be an efficient shopper here. With these three steps, you’ll be able to avoid going broke and curb your natural hoarding tendencies.
The first is your broad sweep; get the layout of the land, pick your sweet spots, take in the visual without buying anything. I can promise you that you’ll be overwhelmed and overstimulated and will basically go all supermarket sweep unless you make a very conscious decision not to purchase. Trust it, this is what happened to me.
The second time you go should be for you. Give yourself a limit. Now that you have an idea of what’s available you’ll make wise decisions instead of filling a cart with 11 purses, 3 prs of sunglasses, 34 rings and a head scratcher.
The third and rest of the times, you’re now an official Sam Moon pro. You can stride in confidently, casting a sideways knowing glance at those women who are exclaiming over their latest find or saying «I should never have come here.» Which basically is 90% of the folks there.
This is a mecca of accessories. And more than that actually. They have something, literally, for everyone. The amazing thing is that they actually keep it organized. Tonight, three days before christmas, purses were with their purse brethren, notebooks were more or less arranged in the order of the letter embroidered on them and there was a horde of busy little workers making sure that your shopping is akin to that of Willy and the Chocolate Factory.
