Theodore

I don’t understand the reviews. They have unique clothes that are hard to find and they have great taste and mix the high and low. So as a lawyer, I can go in and find the most incredible sweater or blouse to go with a suit. They have a couple of James Perse items but only as staples, most of their items are unique.
They also have the most beautiful scarves ever. I bought clothes at an amazing sale. Trish (who’s French) and has an incredible eye helped me and I felt as chic as possible. By the way, I never heard of anyone not letting someone touch the clothes there.
With kids and an aversion to paying full retail when I should be saving money, I am on a budget and wait for the sales. But I found an amazing pair of shoes that were not on sale. but if you want the latest look that will be done beautifully and never go out of style. .. this is a great place to get ideas or buy a few pieces.
And when you are shopping there, make sure to get your parking validated. I even stop by when I’m there and even just window shopping they always validate my parking with a smile.

This is by far the worst clothing store I have ever been to. If I could I would give them a big ZERO star. The two women that work there are very inattentive and rude. I asked each of them a question about a piece of clothing, they both were on their cel phones. Please do not spend your money in that store, they don’t give a damn about their customers who have good intentions and are serious about spending money.

Came in here cause I had a hair appointment and decided to do some browsing around, and didn’t really have a problem with the sales service like some people seemed to have on here. There was one girl who was setting clothes straight and stuff and one girl who greeted me hi. So, nothing bad there. I also touched the clothing… no scolding.
umm…the clothes though. I’m sorry but they’re all hideous lol. & anyone who actually would spend $$$ that much on something that hideous… just no.

This store has the absolute worst service EVER.
You are not allowed to touch the shirts, you must have a sales person do it for you.
The last time i was there, i attempted to touch a shirt to see if i wanted to try it on and the sales person shouted at me and my mom saying i was not allowed to touch their merchandise.
I have never been back…

I recently was vacationing in the LA area. I spent a portion of my time shopping at boutiques by the beach and the sales rack at Nordstroms. I happened across this store and they had some nice things, beaten and soft looking. Things I would definitely wear but the prices were ridiculous! I am the first to pay ridiculous prices for a top or sweater I know no one else will have but the prices at this place carry no name or fit the garments. Sorry, I spent no cash in these garments!

The vibe in Theodore is a bit weird to me – they have some casual basics which I like (such as Vince and James Perse), and then the rest of the selection seems like a bad stereotype of trashy ‘Eurotrash’ style tees, dresses, and accessories. Honestly I was so offended by most of the items I wouldn’t get close enough to read what brands they were.
I guess I’m just trying to figure out how Theodore can have so many locations around LA (I’ve seen one in Marina del Rey, and there’s prolly one in Beverly Hills). Who does this store market to? I’m definitely a sucker for overpriced crap, but so far most of the stuff at Theodore looks hideous.

My friend and I have a little game we play before dashing up two flights of stairs to eat at nearby Taiko. The game is very similar to The Price Is Right and almost as entertaining. This is how you play:
Simply walk up to the window and pick an item. Any item: a belt, a t-​shirt, a pair of flip-​flops, but preferably the most basic item you can find. Once you have selected something, each of you has to guess how much that item costs. Easy, right? When each player has guessed the retail value of the item, you walk into the store and ask the pretty sales representative how much it actually costs. Then you collectively laugh your fucking asses off. Everyone’s a winner!
–Pink cotton baby doll t-​shirt with silk-​screen design: $ 100
–A pair of rubber flip-​flops decorated w/​crystal studs: $ 150
–Heavily distressed white cotton wife-​beater w/​the word «Punk» spelled out in pink rhinestones: $ 175
–Laughing at the bitch who actually paid for said wife-​beater: PRICELESS
