Charming Charlie – Arcadia

Charlie was so charming that three gals left satisfied. With handbags for each, scarves for few, and two watches for the third. This accessory store had these sweethearts so captivated that they spent hours just browsing in circles, touching, eyeing, gasping, and trying. The shoes were so cute, the handbags so bright, and each items in all colors dark and light. There were no fights, all items were in abundance resting sightly on shelves begging to be taken home.
Clearance jewels were buy one get one free. Clearance handbags from $ 16 – 26.99. Pashmina scarves were a great steal at $ 5 + second one half off =$ 2.50. Amazing long necklaces that add a statement to any dress at only $ 8. An awesome bargain indeed. Cute flats at an amazing $ 19.99. Marked down boots for $ 34.99.
The service was great. Paid with ease. Signed up with my email to receive $ 10 off next $ 50 purchase. Will be back? No doubt about that. Ready to spend another evening with Charming Charlie. Perhaps alone this time.

This place is so addicting!.. price is totally reasonable, quality is legit and they have so many cute things here. When you first walk in, everything is organized and separated by colors. Which I LOVE! makes it so much easier to look what you’re looking for.

Great place to get accessories for your outfit. Color coordinated sections makes it easy if you know what color you want. The clearance section has great markdowns and even offers BOGO deals sometimes.

This is a review of an online order I had with Charming Charlie, not this particular store or it’s staff.
While out of town, I got a ten dollar coupon after purchasing some accessories at a Charming Charlie store. Since there is no store where I live, I decided to use that for a purchase online. I got the purse and paid $ 20 out of pocket after the gift card was applied. It was much smaller than I expected (a tote that was awkwardly shaped with a long strap) and very flimsy and cheap looking. I mailed it back paying nearly $ 10 for shipping at the post office. I had emailed them about instructions for the return and asked several times about a shipping label. No response. Finally, many weeks after I had mailed it and many email inquiries sent by me, they responded that they don’t offer shipping labels. I requested that I get that shipping cost credited back to me in the form of store credit. I didn’t mind not being reimbursed in cash. Several weeks go by, no response. You really have to hound them. In short, after several emails back and forth telling me the same thing, almost as if they are not actually reading my emails, they have not even refunded me the money for the purse I returned, and I basically forfeited half of what I paid for it just trying to return the hideous and cheaply made item. I will NEVER shop at Charming Charlie again in store or online. Everyone beware of their careless attitude about their customers. They are inefficient to say the least. I feel robbed. I am not getting money back that is rightfully mine.

I like this store for purses. I find that they are usually pretty good quality. I tried to write a review on the actual website about a purse I recently purchased online and was unable to. It’s nice but the inside fabric came stained which was a bummer. A lot of the reviews on here talk about never being greeted my employees, I’ve actually experienced the opposite where I want them to leave me alone so I can shop. Every two minutes they want to help me. All in all I’ll come back and it’s a nice organized store.

I hate giving this store 3 stars because it’s a beautiful store. It’s huge and everything is color coordinated very neatly.
Their jewelry is so pretty. I swear to you that you will not want to leave this store without buying a bunch of stuff.
I was in last week and as much as I wanted to go bankrupt in this store, I didn’t. I purchased 2 watches. One was black and silver with a thin band. I really love it. I wore it the next day all day at a party and I received so many compliments on it. This watch was somewhere between $ 22-​$ 25. Definitely affordable.
I also purchased a thick «gold» watch. It looks like it’s worth more than what I paid for it. Again, between $ 22-​$ 25. I can’t remember exactly but for both watches it was about $ 52. I was so excited to wear it so I wore it to Disneyland the other day and OMG, it turned my wrist green! It was really upsetting because I know the watch is only $ 20+ dollars but if I knew it was going to do that to me then I would have saved myself the trouble of not buying it.
I guess it’s not their fault that the metal on the watch reacted to my skin. So be aware when purchasing anything here or anywhere that sells affordable accessories. I buy a lot of stuff from Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 and their metal never turned my skin green so why this place???
However, my black watch is still going strong and I really love it. It’s a good alternative when you want to wear a watch daily and you don’t want to break out your expensive stuff.

Glad this was not my first visit to a Charming Charlie’s store. Walked into the Arcadia store about 1130 am May 17^th 2 sales ladies at the front talking with 1 customer no one greeted me walked around the store encounter another sales girls face to face not one word from her after 20 minutes decided to leave another sales rep near the door filing out paperwork again not one word. Now if the store was busy I may understand however there was about 6 other customers and not one sales person spoke. Probably will never return to this store at this location again.

As a former Charmer. I am really sad that I left this place. Nonetheless, I had a great experience here before I even started working here. Staff has always been friendly and helpful!
I just recently visited and everything has changed since the last time I was here. The color coordinations the store layout is set is now from cool (blues) to warm (reds). They have always been organized and color coordinated, so it will always be easy to shop here. I even had a good time working here, since doing go-​backs made it easier for me to know where to put the items back, by color of course lol.
Definitely shop here if you have special occasions/​events to attend. There are accessories to dress you up and/​or down. From casual chic to bridal accessories. There are so many things to choose from!
Once you walk in, it feels like you’re in a sparkly candy store, with a narrow variety of apparel and wide selections of jewelry and accessories.
I love how I still receive coupons in the mail after giving them my address! I would get $ 15 to $ 25 off of a particular price that’s spent (subtotal) or 15% — 30% off! That’s the same as employee discount!
Anyways, I’d say this place is a lot cheaper than Icing and Claire’s!
Fashion is fun, and accessories are the life of the party! So, grab your girls, and let them help you find your fabulous!

The location is clean, bright, and wonderfully organized by color so you can easily find what accessories you want to match your outfit. The prices are also ridiculously cheap. I like their well priced hair accessories.
What are the 2 stars for? It is for charming charlie as a general establishment. All the handbags are SO OBVIOUSLY cheap copies of high end designer and contemporary brand names for handbags. I almost immediately walked out because I cant stand looking at such cheap looking handbag knockoffs. Im not talking the ones everyone knows that are plastered in logos, but the designer leather goods you would see at an expensive department store.

This place has the best customer service and the best of everything from clutches to bags and much much more! I’m so glad I found this place! Well my girlfriend introduced me to it!

I want to live at Charming Charlies! I love that they have everything according to color. When I’m looking for something special, it’s a certain color I’m looking for and I can go right to that section and always find something wonderful.
I am a bag junkie and Charming Charlie’s has given me some of my favorites! I have told my girls what I want for my birthday and it is from Charming Charlies!!!
If you haven’t been there, run, don’t walk to Charming Charlie’s!

Mildly obsessed with this store. Kind of sad that they don’t have one on Oahu yet. If I ever need any jewelry for a new outfit this is my first stop, guaranteed to find what I need and then some.

As a married, heterosexual man, I was very impressed with this store. Everything is neatly organized by color and all matching accessories. Totally satisfies my compulsive fix to organize everything. I feel at peace, unlike when I am Marshalls or Ross.
Pricing is very reasonable and the staff are very friendly. As a husband/​father, I appreciate that as I wait 45 minutes for my significant other to pick up items that she will undoubtedly lose after the 3^rd time wearing them. The sparkly stuff keeps our baby occupied and that is a great thing.
Men, please just say the following: «That looks cute, you should get that for that outfit you bought awhile ago». Works every time and your stay will be shorter that normal.
You are welcome.
Keep On Unilocaling

If I was from the ages of 12 – 16 I would DIE at all the cool stuff they have. Costume jewelry like. I got a gift card and took a long time finding stuff I wanted to buy.
I ended up with some hair ties, silver hoop diamond earrings and a bun thing.
I might stop by again if I am going to need accessories for a special event or a hot date. But I personally like Forever 21’s stuff better. But I think it’s cool for young girls or teens. It is really big and overwhelming so just make sure you have time to browse around! :))

I’m not gonna lie, but I love this store. I love how the store is laid out. I love how everything is color coordinated. I really hate it when a store has things just cluttered and messy looking where it’s hard to find the right accessory to whatever outfit you’re trying to accent and enhance.
The accessories vary in price, they have their clearance section that can go from $ 2-​$ 10. For their regular priced items it can go from $ 6-​$ 30. They carry: rings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, scarves, purses, watches, sunglasses, earrings, shoes, some clothing items such as dresses, tops, skirts, hats, hair accessories, even make-​up. This store is all about adding a little sparkle here, adding a touch of color there. This is my go to store when I’m on the look out for that perfect little something to just brighten up my outfit.
Take note though, all of the items in this store is for fashion/​costume quality, so don’t expect it to be super high quality especially when certain rings may turn your finger a different color if you’re nickel sensitive. It’s not as cheap looking as Claire’s since it’s for a slightly more sophisticated age range. But it’s relatively of the same quality but it just looks like it’s higher quality.
The store is quite large especially how they have little islands displaying different color accessories but it gives it a good look overall. Whoever designed the store layout was smart in how they placed the cashier in the back of the store. So you, as the customer would have to walk through the store a bit to even get to the back to purchase. I almost always end up buying some little trinket, it’s evil but omg it’s wonderful too. I love it, but I have to reign it in sometimes to not go overboard because you could spend a lot by buying so many little things. It just adds up to a lot in the end if you’re not careful. The staff is sorta small for the amount of space that store has. I think only like 2 people work there at any given time I’ve walked in there. So getting to buy anything may take some time since the person has to see you and practically sprint to the register to ring you up. Other than that, it’s a great store.

The store is huge! Lots of selection and sectioned off by color. Most people like the idea, but I think it’s personal preference because I used to be a merchandiser myself. I like to outfit things together and create unique outfits that will make certain pieces stand out. It’s all about how you style and put things together.
This place just gives me a headache with the overwhelming options to choose from. Some of the items are fairly priced, and some aren’t. Their vendors distributes their items to different department stores, so I guess Charming Charlie would be the most cost effective out of the bunch. Overall, I spent a good amount of time shopping here. I had to go through one section at a time. My eyes are mostly drawn to statement necklaces and earrings. I hope they can consider styling their product a bit more even though there’s a lot. It’d make it more attractive. But overall, I’m sure anyone can find something here. It just takes time and patience to go through it all. If you like things color coordinated, this will be an easy shop for you.
I might be back to check out new merchandise. But I wouldn’t have come in here if it wasn’t for my xmas giftcard.

I love this store! Why have I not shopped here before today? This store is located outside in the promenade of the every growing Santa Anita Mall near Macy’s. Inside there are beautiful accessories that are coordinated by color, honestly very easy to figure out what to buy to coordinate with any outfit you have in your closet.
So you can buy hair bands, rings, bangles, necklaces, bracelets, scarves, belts, flower clips, coin purses, purses and even cute tops, dresses, skirts, etc.
I love checking out the discounted «last call» section in the far corner back of the store where you can buy 2 for 1 jewelry items (with the red tag stickers).
The employees are very nice and friendly.
There are 2 big and clean changing rooms in case you want to try on a few of their cute clothing items.
Pricing I think is actually pretty fair, although I have seen similar items going probably a bit cheaper on line by one of my favorite jewelry brands (Glint & Gleam).
Overall, will totally come back here, even if it is just to browse because I love getting ideas to accessorize some of my outfits in my closet.

The staffs are very friendly and helpful when I went the store to look for the certain type of bags. I also like the way they display the products.
However, the quality of these bags are very poor. I have 3 purses from the store and they all lasted for only about a month or two. I cant really complain about the quality though because of how cheap their products are. If you are looking for some short term cheap purses this is the place to go…

Likes: accessories heaven. and I LOVE how it’s all arranged by color!
Dislikes: prepare to leave with a lighter wallet… :(

I just found this little hidden treasure in the Promenade area of the Santa Anita mall. Once I walked in, I was so exicted — almost like a little kid in a candy shop. This is one huge accessories shop. They have everything, and I mean EVERYTHING: jewelry, hair accessories, shoes, purses, scarves, etc. I’ve never seen such a big store that sells only accessories!
The best part about this store is that everything is organized according to color. So if you have a specific color scheme going on for an outfit, you can go straight to that color and see all the accessories available in different shades of that color. Some of the accessories are available in different colors of the same design. So if you just absolutely love a certain piece, you can get it in different colors to go with whatever outfits you have! Absolutely in LOVE with this place!
Parking: Big parking lot and underground structure for the Santa Anita mall.
