Kitson

I liked this store and their cute makeup bags made for perfect little presents for my friends and family.
The girls working at this location are quite pleasant, and I’d definitely say this is a great place to stop by.

Seriously the worst customer service in the universe from their headquarters in LA. I ordered stuff online on April 1^st thinking I live local I should have it in a couple days. Nope, they sent it to the wrong address then once I didn’t have what I needed it for I told them to just keep it and refund me my money. The lady said she’d have to check if they cld do that and that she WLD call me back. She never called me back and they have yet to answer any of my calls or rtn any of my messages or even ship me the my goods that I’ve already paid for. It is now April 16^th. THEY WILL NEVER GET MY BUSINESS AGAIN!!!

ahh i love kitson but its sooo expensive. i love all their books and novelty items. i got that lokai bracelet i love it. the help here is eh so so but its mainly for wealthy people and celebrities. check it out great gifts, housewares, gag gifts, kids items and men and womens stuff :)

I feel like this store is kinda racist against certain race. The other day I end up at this store. Because I was going back home to my country so I wanted some cute gifts and t-​shirts. Meanwhile I was shopping this guy kept following me around. Every time I look over my shoulder he was behind me. Then this other girl kept asking if I need help and I was like no thank you 5 times. After I picked up a few items she ran over and asked me if she can put if behind the register, I looked at her weird because it was just 3 books. My card got decline which was very weird because I used it at Macy’s so I paid cash. I went to the ATM to see why and I had cash on my card.

Never going back here again. This so called «customer service» person was a completely rude person. She would take the things we picked out and walk around with them until a fitting room was open. When we were waiting and looking through tshirt she just came and said that they didn’t have our size. After that we were looking for a different size for our friend and said «I told you we don’t have that size». So rude!!! Never coming back but I will write a review every week about how bad it was. If someone does this to you just tell them I don’t want any of help please. Meanies :(
P. s. They treat you like a thief:(

I don’t know how they expect to sell anything … especially since all the employees are f*ucking rude!!! I was fine browsing over things until the employees started breathing down my back as if i was gonna steal something. They weren’t even subtle about it. No offering help, just staring from both my left and my right. The Kitson in LA had super nice employees, very helpful! This newport location should take some lessons from the LA location.

I’d never been to a Kitson before or online shopped with them, but I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. They have soo many different types of things to buy and bask in. From books to clothes and makeup. They also have a kids section with toys and clothing.
It’s a pretty cool store with kind of a hipster vibe to it lol

I just love Kitson, always have.
It’s one of those if you love LA and all that it is about, you will love this store.
This location is huge, bigger than most of the LA stores, spacious and not as crowded.
The merchandise the same, great gifts for the entire family, I love the book section, we are always giggling over something here.
Prices are crazy high, putting a higher pricetag over the retail price kind of high.
Not right, but fun to look and then buy the book online, for below retail.
The clothes are more fun and laid back, think spikes and sweats.
Tons of body and home products as well, if I had tons of money to blow on stuff no one really needs, THIS would be one of those places.

As far as having «stuff» this store has it. clothes, shoes, stocking stuffers, nick nacks and paddy whacks. They also have a ton of stuff that i was very uncomfortable seeing with my 12 year old daughter.
Prices are high, (paid $ 88 for a pink sweatshirt) but what isn’t.

So sad that a shop that is suppose to be cool sells shirts that have drug names on them. There are so many kids in California battling drug addiction that I find it disgusting to sell shirts that say Vicodin, Xanax, etc. What is the point???

Kitson is cool, definitely trendy. I like the randomness of their book displays and knick knacks for the home. Of course, it’s pricey here. The only Kitson I’ve been to is the one in Santa Monica.
There’s a lot of California souvenirs for the out of town visitors.

Kitson is cool.
It’s kind of like, all LA trends you could think of packed into one store. Clothes trends, jewelry trends, random trends (like the stuffed Boo dog), shoes, purses, books, etc. The clothes I have found to be kind of random — some I really like some I really don’t. But all are high-​quality and I’m sure someone loves them. That’s kind of how trends tend to go anyway haha — you get some lovers and some haters.
It’s really, really, really expensive. More so for the clothes and bags, the random stuff and jewelry isn’t terrible.
But yeah, I’d say Kitson is fun for browsing and walking around. I feel like I have my finger on the pulse of LA trends whenever I walk around one. It could also be fun for a little California type souvenir for someone not from California. But I wouldn’t call it a favorite place to do actual shopping, at least for me.

This is really the type of place where you can find a gift for pretty much everyone that you need to buy for. There’s a wide selection of stuff here ranging from nice quilted things with curse words on it to pink things for dogs. The stuff can be very expensive and cheap for the price but the main focus of a lot of the stuff is it’s novelty.
Overall, it’s a nice store with quite a bit of absurd yet interesting items.

I really enjoy spending time inside Kitson, perusing all of the numerous items they have.
A true cornacopia to find gifts, or to pick up something for yourself that you didn’t know you needed or wanted! Warning, Kitson is dangerous to the pocketbook!
Nothing is cheap here, but then you are in Newport Beach, in Fashion Island and they don’t carry run of the mill stuff. One giftie I got was dog tarot for my Unilocal bff and I can’t wait to read her dog’s tarot cards! Oh the things we will find out.
The store is very hip and loud music blares and they just might have been the only store not playing Christmas music. Staff is fairly friendly, but seemed not very knowledgeable about many things. An example of that is I wanted to also purchase some gift cards and I finally found somebody who said they do not have them, but they do have gift certificates (how very old school). But, only the manager can get the gift cards, ring them up and get you on your way. It took an extra 5 plus minutes just to find the manager, slightly annoying.
Kitson also sells expensive trendy comfy clothes and one of my favorite perfumes Kai.
So go and enjoy perusing, spend some buckage and have at the awesome shop that is Kitson!

The people running this place are jerks. My wife was standing outside with 4 dogs and he wouldn’t let me take pictures so that we could decide what to buy. I’m never going back.

I’m going to upgrade to three stars. I was in the other night an while this place may be VERY over priced for moi, other people can pay these sky high prices without a flinch. There was a cute selection of hipster sweaters and purses and some really unique and funny greeting cards. Again, I look at most of the clothes, shoes and accessories and think «Eh…I can get very similar stuff at Forever 21 for WAAAY less money», but remember, I am tight with a buck. For teenagers with an unlimited allowance from the bank of Mom and Dad, this place is nirvana.
Kitson also had a great selection of Bond No. 9 fragrances, and let me tell you, all of these smell so yummy! I could have stayed in there for hours sniffing and spraying. $ 250.00 for a bottle of perfume? Errr… no, but I can dream right?
This is also a great place to pick up unique gifts for somebody who has everything.

first off this tag «woman’s clothing» is wrong, it’s not just woman’s clothing, I got a cool mens bathing suit here some d square cologne and a very cool voluspa candle that I’ve never seen before anywhere else, al kinds on cool brands and unique gifts perfect for the hard to shop for or the person that has everything, I’m a fan! Great service to boot.

So after a few delays, Kitson opened a store at Fashion Island.
The first thing I noticed was that it is a quaint but well-​thought-​out, white-​walled space, with a lot of really bright colored little kitschy gift/​novelty items — I mean it’s pretty jampacked in there — it’s in your face and you kind of have to shimmy shammy through some of the tables, but fear not, it’s part of the fun here.
The rest of the store is separated between men and women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories… lots of Marc Jacobs bags, Rebbecca Minkoff purses, Jeffrey Campbell shoes, and other trendy delicacies… definitely worth a look, especially the accessories :)
If I’m at The Island, I do most of my clothes shopping at American Rag, mainly because of their vintage and one-​of-​a-​kind selection (and sometimes obscure designers), but also because their new Denim Bar is pretty much unrivaled… but don’t get me wrong, Kitson is a great addition to Fashion Island and holds its own unique corner there. I look forward to making many return trips to pick up cool little gifts and am excited to see what the store looks like as it matures.
