Heaven’s Closet

I so enjoyed coming here! My friend has been on a quest to find the perfect «sexy boots» so our Portland friend took us here, and the owner of the place totally took care of us. We had her undivided attention for pretty much the whole hour we were there. I like that she keeps the front door locked — it felt safe to talk about all sorts of stuff and try on clothes and have an ongoing fun conversation with the owner. Plus, she’s a seamstress — she has an entire rack of her own creations — and she offered to work with my friend to make one of her designs in my friend’s size. I could smell cigarette smoke when I first came in, but that dissipated quickly, and none of the clothes had a smoky smell, so that won’t impact the perfect rating this place gets. She had a great selection, especially for such a small place, and though my friend did not end up getting her sexy boots there, Heaven helped her with tips on how to break in the boots and make them more comfortable as well as letting us look through all the catalogs of their products. Going there was an experience which could have been intimidating, but Heaven made it fun and informative.

I had a good experience here. She has lots in stock and the shop is very clean and well organized. I highly recommend this place. Lots of gorgeous shoes and dresses, lingerie, etc…

Awful. My husband bought me something for valentines day there and when he brought it home the stench of cigarette smoke was unbearable. Seriously unbearable. There is no way I would feel sexy as a non smoker in something completely saturated with smoke. Holding it I felt dirty. This is my honest opinion. I would not go to this place if you don’t want to smell like someone else’s choices. I promise you there are other places that I will give my business for this reason. I brought it back into the store and I was overwhelmed with the smell. I figured I would exchange for something that didn’t smell like that. Everything did though! EVERYTHING. I smelt like smoke after leaving. The lady told me I could only exchange but everything smelt like that. She said «oh no worries about the smell, all you need is a little hair shampoo and it will come right out». I believed her because I don’t smoke so I have never needed a need to wash it out. This shampoo did nothing. Not even close. It didn’t come out. I have tried shampoo, several different types of soap, febreeze and nothing is working. I will never wear it for this reason. And my husband picked it out for our first valentines as a married couple so I am very disappointed.
One other thing the lady «helping» me said when I mentioned the smoke she said «oh it smells like smoke? Hmm. Well that specific piece must have been in our Vegas show» ummm what?! This one that I bought was being groped by everyone in Vegas and now it’s for me to wear? Saturated in smoke from «vegas». I have no idea what she was talking about but take my advice and if you don’t love the smell of smoke, then why smell like it if you don’t have to?
Considering I never write reviews for anything ever, consider this important.

I don’t know about other people, but I like ringing the bell and being let in to a private boutique– it makes me feel like a VIP and I have never noticed cigarette smoke on the premises. The girls are friendly and will give you an honest opinion (if you ask for it) on how something looks. Plus they repair your outfits if they ever rip or damage. They have a great selection thats super affordable and do tons of custom work! This is my go to place for sexy.

A note to the store owner: Keeping your door locked during business hours is incredibly sketchy. I shouldn’t have to ring the bell to be let in, then have the door locked behind me when I come inside. It’s weird. Also, while you do carry some cute stuff, I couldn’t handle the stale smell of cigarette smoke that hung in the air and on the new clothes. You may not be able to smell it because your sense of smell is deteriorated, but as a non-​smoker, I can. What makes you think I want to buy a new outfit that smells like an ashtray? Smoke outside if you must! Gross!
