Kinsley

Hi everyone, if you are Asian and not very well dressed coming in this shop, you will be treated like sh*t. I experienced the terrible discrimination from a girl named Amanda working this shop today. My sister was trying the clothes in a changing room and that girl just came right there and hung the clothes from her new customer. She literally acted like she did not see us and did not even say anything (like we were not there). I was so pissed at that moment and i walked out of the shop with my sister then i came back to ask her name. Do you know what? She even rolled her eyes up like a monster to give me her name and i don’t know if this is her real name but whatsoever i will never come to this shop again. Dear Amanda, if you are an educated person and from a good family i think you would not have such actions toward people. To all Asian girls, believe me you will be treated like nothing here just like i was experiencing today.

We did some shopping today at the fashion square SO and we stopped at kinsley .
I really love there clothes. Everyone was very nice and helpful
I could not find kinsley SO on Unilocal so i post here
They have great stuff try it

So overpriced. Yeah, they sell trendy clothing pieces. But for those prices? NOPE.
PROS.
*fashionable
*organized
*spacious
*friendly service
*clean store
CONS.
*overpriced (the bralettes they’re selling here for $ 18, I found just down the street for $ 10. Same style. Same brand. Same EVERYTHING.)
I’ll stop by here once in a while to see what’s new but it’s way too pricey for just anyone I would think. I bought shorts here once out of stress shopping… can’t tell if I regret my decision or not…
But anyway, there are many boutique stores around LA. You’ll probably find a better deal elsewhere.

This is an affordable addiction of mine. I had my eyes on these black suede pants but there was no way I was going to buy them for the original price. I lucked out when there was a sale and it was the last one!!! =)
It taught me that patience is really a virtue. Because I was so satisfied, I ended up getting a hot brown dress in suede as well as these black suede shoes that were 50% off. I know how to shop. I also got this super cool navy blue fuzzy vest for ½ off.
This store is one of my favorites and I am lucky to be able to get the pieces that suit me best.

This place is amazing! Stopped in here while visiting LA and had the best customer service. The girl that helped me was Kimberly and she was great! She was really sweet and always willing to help. This place has a little bit of everything style wise and the price point is perfect for new clothes. Love this store and I’ll definitely be back next time I visit LA!

one of the best clothing stores in the village! ALL the girls here are so energetic and BEYOND helpful. I have gone in numerous times with fashion emergencies or needed items last minute. they honestly take a quick scan of you and automatically know what your style is.
the prices are great and the quality of what you pay for is even greater. i never leave the store unsatisfied with my purchases!

Super cute clothes, great prices, very helpful and insightful sales associates! My sister and I both left the store with purchases and extremely happy!

Down to earth place, fair priced, and fun ambiance~. My friend was shopping for herself and I had a good time tagging along~

I work retail so I know what a store is able to do and not do. They wouldn’t take back an old return even for a discounted price or markdown. I know there’s something they could have done to make the customer happy. But apparently they don’t have their priorities straight. Won’t be coming back!

Very cute boutique in Westwood village. Stumbled across this place while on the way to lunch. Very cute, hippy, and girly fashions. They even have really cute gift items. Store is pretty small but they have fashion all along their walls so lots to shop through. Great customer service. Immediately greeted and asked if we needed help finding anything. Wish I had more time to shop that day cause I’m sure I would have left with something. Glad to have discovered this store though.

This is by far one of my favorite clothing stores that I discovered for myself while at UCLA. It’s not like those clothing stores that carry name brands like american eagle and jcrew, but there are a wide selection of casual and trendy going out attire.
–Mostly tops, blouses and shirts.
–Not a huge selection of pants or jeans.
–cute jewelry and other accessories (great for gifts!)
–dresses for sure– maxi
–handbags and purses
A bit pricey but I think it’s worth the buy.
Street parking or the parking lot across from it which is 3 hrs free before 5 pm

Was in Westwood from out of state. Great clothing & accessories. I found a really cute wrap bracelet – purchased one for me & one as a gift for a friend. Her’s broke the first time she wore it, and couldn’t be repaired. I was back in LA a few months later, brought the broken bracelet & THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT. I explained what happened… I wasn’t looking for a refund, just a store credit would have been nice. I was told they do not take returns on jewelry, which is understandable in a college town… but I am an adult, not a student wearing & then returning jewelry! I explained I lived far away, hadn’t been back to the area until now. The clerk refused to make an exception or call & ask the owners if they would, given the situation. Very disheartening, I will not shop here again.

Recently I have noticed this new boutique situated in Westwood Village. Yesterday I finally visited for the first time! I came in after being at Kaitlyn, another boutique-​type store, a few doors down, so I found myself comparing them a lot.
Keene is very similar to Kaitlyn and Brandy Melville in terms of style. However, I’ve noticed that their clothes are a little more expensive than Kaitlyn; probably more comparable to Brandy Melville. I was mostly looking at their dresses, and the majority of them were around $ 44. Almost $ 15 more than most of the dresses at Kaitlyn.
The sales associates here were GREAT! Several of them greeted me and asked if they could get a fitting room started for me. I was especially helped by a girl named Mikayla? who was SUPER nice and helpful! She got a fitting room started for me and checked back on me every so often to see if I had more things to add to my collection or if I was ready to try on clothes.
They have 4 fitting rooms which fill up pretty fast, but luckily it doesn’t take too long to get into one.
I highly recommend checking out their sales racks because they give discounts from 30−50% off. Usually sales racks have clothes that are damaged/​not in the best shape, but I honestly could not see anything wrong with the clothes they had on the sales racks! I ended up getting a super cute dress for 30% off, which I greatly appreciated since their clothes are a little bit more expensive than I’m comfortable with! The sales racks are in the corner next to the cash register.
Parking is good, since right across the street there is a garage that is free for the first two hours! There’s also street parking.
They apparently have 3 locations: Westwood, Santa Monica, and Valencia.
Overall, I highly recommend Keene! Docked off one star for being a little pricey, but I can definitely picture myself going here more often!

Great styles. They have limited stock available, but cycle through their styles quickly (~every other week), so there always seems to be something new. Decently priced, but over the past months prices have slowly gone up. If you like the styles, check back often b/​c the smaller sizes go fast.
