Katwalk

Let me tell you a little something about Integrity. When the owner personally sends you a message because of a review that you (I) left, it says a lot. It meant a lot to me, so I wanted to return the favor. I went back to the store & I’m glad I did. The sales girl was friendly and attentive. The selection was (as always) excellent! And best of all I walked out with the cutest romper ever!
Thank you Kat (walk)!

I LOVE this boutique! I always find what I am looking for and I find the cutest outfits for a night out and even for work. It’s helpful that they have color coordinated racks as well and the location itself is very chic. I am always greeted with a smile and the employees are always very nice. Trust me, I haven’t seen other girls wearing the same outfit as myself and I always get complimented on my attire.

This is the BEST place to shop in the South Bay (and all of LA) to get the cutest dresses, shoes, accessories, jeans, gifts for friends, etc.
I always make it a point to stock up when I am visiting Manhattan Beach! And when I cannot get to the store, I love to shop online:

Best place to buys awesome gifts for the ladies, (family and friends).
This is my go to place for gifts that are always become favorites to the people who receive them.
Love the staff, super friendly and funny.
I think everyone should shop here. It is awesome!!!

I do not like to give bad reviews but I just walked out of this place and am blown away and need to share, hopefully the manager will see this. The woman working was on her cell phone texting most of the time. I was looking for a certain dress brand in a certain size. When I asked, she lazily said, oh they’re over there and there. I never found them. It was the worst customer service I’ve ever seen.

One of my favorite boutiques to shop at while visiting my family in Manhattan Beach, Katwalk offers a lovely selection of dresses for every occasion, vibrantly colored and printed bikinis, unique independent label jewelry and accessories, and more.
The shop is small but the space is utilized well with clothing racks neatly lining the walls, and display tables featured in the center of the room. With lots of natural light coming through the open shop windows, the atmosphere is very peaceful. Soothing music is often playing in the background, the room is nicely scented, and various in-​store ornaments chime softly in the breeze.
A typically two person run store, the staff have been very friendly and have always given thoughtful suggestions when it comes to styling and finding that perfect fit!
I would recommend Katwalk to those of you who appreciate beach bohemian looks (think Free People) and to those not afraid of colorful prints! Spring and Summer seem to be the ideal times to shop here, I just find the general selection to be better.
I primarily shop at Katwalk for their unique selection of bikinis. Offering a great variety of colors, textures, prints, and styles, I have found most of my much loved bikinis here that I still have to this day.
Another great thing about Katwalk is that not only are much of their clothing items made with nice materials but they are also very reasonably priced! Got to love that!
A wonderful detour to make if you’re cruising the strand, Katwalk is the perfect beach boutique!

Super cute clothes at a totally reasonable price. I have had dresses from here I have had for years that are timeless but haven’t ripped or fell in quality. I love their jewelry selection as well. I have a necklaces I bought here I have been obsessed with for over a year.

Katwalk is as good as it gets! Been shopping there since it opened over 10 years ago and have loved and treasured everything I’ve gotten. Best place for a sexy dress, new purse, great jewelry… I’ve even found gorgeous work appropriate blouses and skirts there!

I have been shopping at Katwalk since it’s grand opening in Hermosa Beach in the early 2000’s. When I moved to San Francisco and was STOKED when the online shop opened (
). I love the fact that I can buy trendy, stylist clothing at reasonable prices. Most things go out of style within a season and I love being able to afford to look good without going in to credit card debt.
I still have MANY articles of clothing I have bought there over the years and continue to shop there when I am in town visiting.
Reasonable prices and spot on style. What’s not to LOVE???

Wow, Katwalk is not doing good with their customer service based on the reviews. Maybe because I like to be left alone when shopping, I have never noticed this lack of service. I have gotten several pairs of cute sandals on sale at this store. I am giving this review solely based on cute merchandise at good prices. I never noticed the service either way, but prefer sales people not to be all up on me.

The owner did contact me and expressed her concerns and assured me that there were definite changes made with regard to the staff issues. So, I did go back to Katwalk in Manhattan Beach to give it another shot. Again, the clothes are super cute and afforable. However, I was not greeted when I walked in nor ever asked if I needed any help. This time the girls were not on their phone texting or gossiping among themselves, but were busy stocking or straightening displays. But I mean, c’mon, how much effort does it take to look up and say hello?!? I wasn’t actually «helped» until I was already at the cash register to pay (I bought a top and earrings). Anyway, I gave Katwalk an extra star because: (1) the owner made the effort to reach out to me, very classy move; (2) she obviously implemented a stricter policy with her staff (maybe not strict enough?); and (3) my original reason — the clothes are very cute, stylish, and affordable. I will most likely visit Katwalk again, but I doubt if I would go out of my way to go there. Lastly, I want to say to the owner («Kat»?) that I commend you for trying to do the honorable thing. It’s obvious you care about your customers and the reputatin of your business. Also, I really don’t/can’t blame you,… it’s so unfortunate that retail help these days are so indifferent when it comes to customer service («it’s just a paycheck»), which sadly, only reflects badly on the business. I am sure that if it were possible to clone yourself and have a half dozen of you running your store, Katwalk would totally rock. I do appauld you, and it bothers me a bit not to be able to give Katwalk more stars,… maybe I will be able to if I return to Katwalk and have a better experience. Thanks again.

Katwalk… thought it was me… b/​c I’m an older African American… I received no greeting, no help, not even with merchandise in hand ready to pay… I usually walk out of this kind of thing but I really liked what I had… I won’t go back it’s too bad though they had some cute things. customer service is a lost art… not too many places provide it any longer. Free people were awesome… even asked if I wanted to try things on for fun… I’ll go back there again and again.

Definitely one of my favorite boutiques to shop at. Katwalk has a great selection of clothes and accessories, with unbeatable prices! The staff is very friendly and accomodating. I would recommend this shop to all of my friends.

Katwalk has become my favorite shop in downtown Manhattan Beach. I go there for clothing as well as accessories. They have an entire rack of black, neutral, metallic, and animal print clothes… enough said for me! I prefer the clothing to Francesca’s Collection (which I also love) because I find the sizing slightly more generous for adults here (Francesca’s Collection has LMU sorority girls as its ideal demographic for dresses and sweaters). They also have a nice selection of jewelry in the vein of Stella + Dot type stuff, but cheaper.
If you look at my previous reviews, you’ll see that last year I used to think, like some other reviewers, that the staff was unfriendly. However, my experiences over the last few months have been really positive. I know that the owner has re-​trained her staff and looked to step up service, and it shows. If you haven’t been to Katwalk in a while, give it another try. Also — like them on Facebook, because occasionally they offer special deals for ladies who have done so.

ok, in light of the store’s response below and that I’m still wearing my dress and people still like it, i’ll give it an extra star :) and i’ll come back this summer :) :)

I’m pretty sure all their clothes (at least, the «katwalk» brand) come from the garment district downtown. The prices are low, yes, but the quality of the merchandise is abysmal.
I started shopping here when I was in High School, during the early 2000s and they used to sell mid-​priced, trendy celebrity coveted brands (I actually have a VeronicaM dress from here). Now, it’s all cheap «Katwalk» clothes that you could buy in LA for $ 5.
Also, I agree that the staff is unfriendly.

Katwalk is great for casual, trendy summer style.
Jenni at Katwalk is one of the most helpful and pleasant sales associates to work with. She is darling, knows their merchandise, has great taste, and super friendly (this should be a given, but rarely is). I have a fun time shopping at Katwalk every summer.
Scored 3 Vix swimsuits at their sample sale this summer. And, found the cutest slouchy boots a couple years ago.

SO — since the Hermosa Beach location is closed, I made the trip to the Manhattan location expecting to find the same great selection and low prices. I was sorely disappointed.
The clothing was very poor quality, and the layout of the store made it extremely hard to shop (poor organization). It was cramped and the other clientèle were rude at best. Prices were higher than they should have been, and the clothes were average at best — too trendy for their own good. The staff was snobby and unapproachable.
I won’t be going back.

I was pleasantly surprised by Katwalk! It being a little Manhattan boutique, I thought it have super-​rad, adorable clothes, but would be super overpriced and out of my «sensible» price range. But I was wrong! Everything that I thought was so cute, I looked at the price tag and nearly shouted to my sister, «OMG it is only $XXXX!» It’s not super duper cheap but it is less than I expected to see. Pop in here if you want a cute little new dress or trendy tank. They carry only Seychelles shoes, which you may be able to find a month later for less at DSW though. Lots of cute and super of-​the-​moment accessories. The staff was very friendly and nice too, not snobby or stuck up, really helpful. I liked it!

Cute boutique, with trendy and not too pricey clothes, at least in comparison to the rest of the shops in the area.
But as the other reviewers have said the store is a hit or miss. I make a trip here when I am in town, but only a few times have I been lightheaded by the inventory.
I will be back in a few weeks though, crossing my fingers, momma wants a new dress!
