Anthropologie

I came here on June 15^th at 6pm and they had the most obnoxious customer service. From them not letting me get a dressing room until I gave them my name to not letting me wear a pair of pants to the cashier until I’ve paid for them. I was about to spend 400 there and decided to just leave it in the dressing room after the attitude I got. Never come here

I love this store. It’s my happy place. I admit it I am a sucker for the Anthropologie style. I buy a large percentage of my wardrobe here. If I had to pick one thing that they do best it would be dresses. If I need a dress I head to Anthro and I am never disappointed. I find the service in the Reston store to be very helpful. There is almost always someone who greets me and offers to help me find what I am looking for. I frequently will ask the sales staff for help choosing between items and I feel that they give me honest feedback, rather than just trying to push merchandise. The Tysons store is larger, but I find the sales staff in Reston to be more helpful. I buy a lot of cloths here and sometimes I change my mind. I admit that I am kind of a perfectionist. I have returned things on many occasions and they have never made me feel unwelcome. I am an Anthro member so they track my purchases, which is helpful if I misplace a receipt. The thing I am most excited about is that they are now carrying furniture too! They don’t have much of it in the stores, but a great selection online. Now I wish they would open a furniture store so I could check out things in-​person.

Love the staff always helpful, and organized! Love to watch the Windows change every month.

Whenever I go the store the sales women are never very friendly. They are cold and don’t offer to help. When they do they disappear later no where to be found. The store is clean and well organized though!

About a 3.5: This is a solid Anthropologie store that has it’s usual selections in clothing, shoes, accessories, and home décor items. I usually go straight towards the back in their ‘Sales’ room where, if you are patient enough to sift through their crammed racks, you might find a nice item at a great discount. Just be aware that a lot of women can be in this tiny space at one time! Marybelle in the dressing area was such a sweetheart and was very helpful with everything. A decent store to check out if you’re in the Reston Town Centre area. Parking is kind of limited, as there are 30-​minute and 1-​hour spots (but, usually all taken).
+ask for Marybelle! :D

Beautiful store, conveniently located in Reston Town Center, BUT the service is awful here.
Visit#1 — Store was not busy at all and not ONE employee greeted me or offered me assistance when I entered the store. Buh-​Bye.
Visit#2 — Decided to give them a 2^nd chance. Made a purchase from this store (over the phone) since the item wasn’t available online. Item wasn’t what I expected so I returned back to the store. They never sent me a receipt with the order (their fault), and I was told that it «was a good thing the item was still original price, because that way we can give you full credit back». Really?! I don’t think so. If the item had been marked down since the purchase (which was only a few days prior), I’d expect to get the full amount back. Despite my annoyance, I decided to try on some items to attempt an exchange. There was one dedicated staff member in the dressing area and two-​three other customers trying things on. I wasn’t offered help while trying things on, but the other customers were. Strike out, Anthropologie. I got a refund and took my business elsewhere.
In conclusion, I’ll never spend a penny in this store. Friendly staff, but incompetent and therefore worthless. Prices are too high to pay that kind of money for awful service.

I shop here once a week. Like most who review, I love the store and the clothing. Unfortunately, I don’t get the warm and fuzzy feeling here that I receive in Georgetown or Tyson’s. Because the clothing a group of eclectic pieces, I would love the staff to recommend additional items to make complete outfits.

Any time I’ve ever gone to this specific store, the customer service reps don’t say a word to me, not even in ME greeting THEM (uhm…who’s job is it!!!). But, the next blonde who walks in behind me gets their butt kissed. Needless to say, I’ve only been here a few times before I just gave up. I’m not going to waste my hard earned money so the snobs behind the counter can earn a dollar from my pocket. There’s plenty of other stores in Reston Town Center that have great customer service, and great products! GO ELSEWHERE!!!

Oh anthropologie, I love you that you have so many beautiful clothes and I hate you for being so expensive. It’s a love hate relationship but there’re usually some nice things on sale in the back of the store. I get some home good here as well besides clothing. And it’s right next to my fav Paper source store…

When I am doing business in Reston I often leave the office feeling quite… frazzled (for lack of better words). The Anthropologie at Reston Town Center is my safe haven. I walk in, breathe in the scented air, marvel over their adorable printed kitchenware, peruse over their sale section, and try on the most exquisite girliest dresses ever known to man.
I want to live here forever.

Love, Love, Love Anthropologie and this store in particular! Every time I am in here it is a wonderful shopping experience. They have the cutest accessories and unique household goods. The best part, though, is the staff.
The wonderful employees are always friendly, helpful, and genuinely happy to assist. They all seem to really love their jobs and it shines through in the excellent customer service.
Fabulous and always a nice experience!

I usually do not get all excited about Anthropologie. My experience with them over the years has largely been limited to the one at The Westchester (NY) which is somewhat claustrophobic and devoid of needed natural light. But this post in Reston had me rethinking my ambivalence and left me wanting more.
I began my inspection of their offerings with the sun shining through their big windows and the air flowing at a perfect steady pace. Their selection of clothing, home goods and various ephemera kept my interest and slowly but surely had me amassing a modest pile. Their unique knit goods filled me with inspiration, I am a newish needle slinger, to learn more through practice and a whole lot of patience. Maybe one day… I digress.
The salespeople were friendly and helpful and unlike many businesses I have encountered over the extended holiday season seemed to like their jobs and being there. The shop was clean, well stocked with many clever decorative displays, such as the giant holidays balls made from copious amounts of cable ties, so many of which were conducive to some great photo opps for my photo apps. :)))
Anthropologie is now back in my good graces, so to speak. My only gripe is that they are a bit pricey for garments made mostly in China, even the so called handmade items. I doubt that the workers see an increased salary for their work and I would have loved to have seen some Fair Trade or the like tag on those garments as I would then feel more comfortable about buying them knowing the artisan is fairly compensated. But that is a corporate issue not the responsibility of the Reston Town Square store. I happily paid for my items, including a beautiful sweater from their well stocked reduced rack and joined my friends for some more shopping, VA style! :)))

I love Anthropologie and this store is no exception. Even though I live a good distance from Reston, I end up visiting this Anthropologie most often because it is close to my father’s U.S. office. This location makes it easy for me to get some shopping in after I visit him when he returns to the country for work.
The décor is fantastic. It is consistently very unique, whimsical, and has a shabby-​chic vibe. This store usually has a very big clearance section, it encompasses an entire room. I enjoy this very much, given the fact Anthropologie is by no means inexpensive. The only thing is, of course, you must arrive soon after what you have your eyes on goes on sale, or it will quickly be sold. At least, I find this true for Anthro’s XS sizes. Additionally, I enjoy the service of this Anthropologie, the staff are not overbearing or pushy. Everyone is very nice.
General shopping tip to keep in mind: This store is generally very generous in sizing and is extremely vanity sized. In many cases Anthro’s size XS is too large for me.
In addition to clothing, Anthro store sells numerous home appliances and other things such as bedding, things for children, and other random odds and ends.
My only complaint is that this Anthro seems to take a bit longer to receive new arrivals then the other Anthropologie’s in the area, (D.C., McClean.) Regardless, I usually wait to make an in-​store appearance for some time after the items I have been longing for have been released online.

Big clearance selection, and greatly organized home goods area.
Service was weird and cold. There during hurricane weekend, so only patron in store and wasn’t acknowledged once.

OK, so this store isn’t cheap, but it’s totally worth it. Like previous reviewers have said– they don’t just sell clothes. I was actually surprised when I walked in and found a big variety of items.
This store is set up really well and is very clean. I’ve been into the store a few times and have always been very pleased with the customer service.

Anthropologie sells more than just women’s clothing. They also sell kitchen stuff — as I found out a couple of weeks ago when a work colleague persuaded me to go in with her.
One of the managers working that day — had a little black pug with her at work. Very cute little dog — as I recall his name is «Stewart» (or maybe Stuart?). Anyhow, he had a little red ribbon on his collar, so he was festive for Christmas. We stopped to pet him and tell him how cute he was. He did not sit still for long as he padded after his owner wherever she went.
I found some nice green bowls that match the green in my kitchen — so I bought a set of eight, with a set of eight of matching ramekins/​soufflé cups.

This is probably my favorite Anthropologie store in the area. I always have good luck finding small sizes in the sale section. Service is great. Friendly staff. The dressing room is easy to find and get in and out of.
The store is pretty much same as the others in terms of feel, merchandise, etc. Checkout my other Anthropologie review.
Parking is available on the street or in a garage.

I actually found this Anthro to be a little more inviting than the T.C. store. It might have been bc they have just opened so they can’t shit the bed just yet on customer service.
Anyways, I find this store to have a lot more home and personal products than clothing. Which is fine for me. I love the kitchen area with the napkins, glasswear, dishes, and the funky unique gifts. The clothes are awesome as as always.
I was in around Xmas time, and the sales were great. beautiful candles and frames for about 5 – 9 bucks. Haven’t been since, so I dont know if its still that way.
Definitely worth a trip out there. I would go early though, parking can be a wee bit of a nightmare.

Damn! I completely forgot to review this place back in October :(
It opened literally on the DAY I left for Europe (I know, I know, sounds like it should’ve been fun but it totally sucked… long story). I was so upset because I’d been counting the days ’til this place opened. I work right down the street in Herndon, and when I found out they were opening an Anthropologie in RTC I almost peed myself. The day I got back from Europe, I came here.
The experience? I give it an overwhelming «Meh». I don’t know what it is about this location… the store is gorgeous, the clothes and all the beautiful trinkets and treasures within are stunning, but the place rubbed me the wrong way.
Maybe it’s the ridiculous amount of hoops you need to jump through in order to find a parking spot. Maybe it was the snooty sales girls. Maybe it was all the trophy wives of Reston perusing the goods and giving me nasty sideways looks. I don’t know, but for some reason this place doesn’t have the same feel as the Tysons Galleria location. I still come every chance I get on my lunch break– but I never feel quite right when I’m here.
Definitely go! Go for the clothes, go for the housewares, go for the delectable line of Mistral fragrances and soaps, go for the AWESOME sale section (it’s in the back; go in through the front door, up and to your left, then to your right, past the dressing rooms)… but don’t go for the warm and fuzzy feeling you expect to get from the Tysons experience. [Every now and then, it won’t be too bad and you’ll find a nice salesperson or two and some friendly fellow shoppers… but those days are few and far between now that RTC is like a mini mega-​metropolis].
All in all, the goods are still in the fashion of all that is typical Anthropologie– beautiful, and to be coveted… so, I still love you, Anthropologie! I will forgive the minor indecencies this locale sometimes comes along with, because you are oh-​so-​awesome.

The designers that put together the interior of this store deserve enormous credit. Can you imagine decorating with old books whose faded manila pages are deliberately bent into the spine so that they are transformed into flower-​like shapes? Look carefully, and you will see more clever «shabby chic» decorating interspersed in the background all around the shop. The environment created by the designers offers a combined subtle, innovative backdrop that interests rather than assaults the senses.
There is a distinct Victorian and retro, hip feeling to the clothing sold here. That being said, the prices are rather high for goods that will be out of style next year. Clearly, those who shop here are looking for hip looks with a touch of the feminine. They attract a loyal following of young women. The colors are subdued, the fabrics display a full range of textures and individual pieces easily fit together to form new combinations. The opportunity to build an individual look is enticing.
At this new location in the heart of the Town Center shoppers from neighboring communities who don’t want to travel to the Tyson’s Corner store and like the convenience of free parking in nearby garage buildings will find clothes, accessories, some gift items and the random household pieces that are typical in Anthropologie stores.
